Judge orders Jeffrey Epstein’s associates to be revealed in coming weeks

The names of more than 170 associates of Jeffrey Epstein will be revealed in two weeks after a New York judge ordered the unsealing of court documents. The documents are set to be released as part of a settled civil lawsuit alleging Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell facilitated the sexual abuse of Virginia Giuffre. Ms Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence after her conviction for sex trafficking and obtaining girls for Epstein. Some individuals have already been publicly associated with Epstein, including Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz, who is publicly named in the judge’s order. Mr Epstein committed suicide in prison in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges.
