More information may soon be released related to Jeffrey Epstein’s infamous sex trafficking ring. New York federal Judge Loretta Preska has ruled for hundreds of documents pertaining to Virginia Giuffre’s civil lawsuit to be unsealed, meaning names once covered with a black line or listed as a doe will be made public. More than 170 names are said to be within the documents, including Epstein’s colleagues and alleged co-conspirators as well as the names of Epstein’s victims. Victims who were minors will remain redacted.

The documents are part of a civil lawsuit settled back in 2017. Virginia Giuffre sued Ghislaine Maxwell — a well-known associate of Epstein who was convicted of sex trafficking.

The lawsuit claimed Maxwell recruited Guiffre at the age of 16 to perform sexual favors for Epstein and a “number of their prominent associates.”

Among those accused of being an associate is Britain’s Prince Andrew, who has denied the allegations and settled a sexual assault lawsuit from Guiffre in 2022 under undisclosed terms.

The names could become public in early January 2024. The judge is giving a few weeks for those named in the suit to object to their release.

The judge’s decision to make the names public in the suit could implicate more people potentially involved in the sex crimes attributed to Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein.
