Following the publication of court documents linked to Jeffrey Epstein, several names of celebrities, politicians and important figures came to light.
Among these are Stephen Hawking, Naomi Campbell, Oprah Winfrey, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kevin Spacey, Heidi Klum, David Copperfield, Bill Clinton, and even Michael Jackson, who refused to be part of the magnate’s “parties.”
However, not all of them are necessarily involved in the child sex trafficking network created by Epstein, and several were even unaware of his illicit activities.
About 1,000 pages are part of the first batch of declassified reports that identify about 150 people. The named individuals are part of the files of a complaint by Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein’s most prominent plaintiffs, against Ghislaine Maxwell, the financier’s ex-partner and daughter of Robert Maxwell, a British media mogul.
Giuffre accused Maxwell of recruiting her and other minors to be abused by Epstein and other men. The tycoon – who was associated with Wall Street titans, British royalty and entertainment celebrities – pleaded guilty to soliciting a minor for prostitution in 2008 and committed suicide in his cell in a New York jail in 2019, just as He was awaiting trial in which he faced charges of sex trafficking and abuse against women, including minors.
They are now available to the public after US District Judge Loretta Preska determined last December that as of January 1, 2024, they should be declassified.
