What we know about the first of the 187 names released in the newly released Epstein court documents

All were mentioned in Virginia Giuffre’s 2015 lawsuit against Ghislaine Maxwell, the only person punished so far for the sex trafficking ring

We finally know the names of some of the most important unknown persons mentioned during the litigation in Virginia Giuffre v. Ghislaine Maxwell – those who are accused of being alleged perpetrators and witnesses to Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal conduct.

Early this evening, numerous documents were unredacted or otherwise unsealed in the Giuffre case, marking the beginning of the end of a long battle for documents and information – and really, accountability – that started with Mike Cernovich’s efforts back in 2017.

Tonight’s batch of documents (made available for download by Seamus Bruner) is just part of the records that will be unsealed from the Giuffre case. There are numerous other records, including witness depositions, motions, and other filings, which are yet to be published on the Court’s docket. We anticipate more salacious materials, and more damning allegations against John Doe perpetrators, to be released tomorrow.

Here are the most scandalous allegations from tonight’s documents – including the names of John Does and the details of the allegations they face.

Bill Clinton

Bill Clinton’s connection to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell is no secret. Epstein and Clinton had a suspiciously close friendship over the years, and Clinton even invited Ghislaine Maxwell to his daughter’s wedding.

Yet mysteries still remain about Clinton’s activities with Epstein and Maxwell. The documents released tonight are only part of what will be unsealed with respect to Clinton. Some are interesting but not altogether scandalous, such as the fact that attorneys for Virginia Giuffre sought to depose Clinton as a witness.

Then there’s the testimony of Johanna Sjoberg, a witness who was hired as a “masseuse” by Epstein when she was in her early twenties. She accompanied Epstein on trips, performed massages on him and his friends (non-sexual), and had frequent interactions with Ghislaine Maxwell – one of which involved Maxwell chastising her for not “finishing” her massage with Epstein.

She testified that she knew Bill Clinton was a friend of Epstein’s, and that Epstein commented on Clinton’s preference for “young” girls:

Prince Andrew

New details on the allegations against Prince Andrew have also surfaced. Ms. Sjoberg also testified that she met Prince Andrew with Virginia Giuffre (when Virginia was 17 years-old) in New York City, along with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Here is her testimony:

At Epstein’s New York home was a Prince Andrew puppet – apparently from a BBC production. Maxwell brought it down for Prince Andrew, and either Maxwell or Epstein took a scandalous photo of Prince Andrew with the girls.

The more disturbing allegations against Prince Andrew came directly from Virginia Giuffre.

Q: Please name a person that Ghislaine Maxwell directed you to go have sex with?

A: Prince Andrew.

Glenn Dubin

Giuffre also alleged that she was directed to have sex with Epstein friend and billionaire and then-hedge fund manager, Glenn Dubin.

Dubin’s ties to Epstein have been previously reported. Back in 2009, after Epstein was given his sweetheart plea deal from the Department of Justice, the Dubins hosted Epstein for Thanksgiving dinner, “telling his probation officer they were ‘100 percent comfortable’ with his being around their teenage daughter.

Tom Pritzker

Tom Pritzker is a billionaire businessman, serving as Executive Chairman of Hyatt Hotels and as Chairman and CEO of The Pritzker Organization. He’s also a member of the Aspen Institute. Giuffre alleged she slept with him once:

David Copperfield

Magician David Copperfield has also emerged in the latest Epstein release. While there are no sex-related allegations against Copperfield at this time, it’s clear from witness testimony that he was friends with Epstein and had at least some knowledge of what was going on at Epstein’s home. Perhaps he had been informed by Epstein or Maxwell that they had a recruiting process where girls were paid to find other girls. According to Johanna Sjoberg:

Michael Jackson and Hollywood

Even Michael Jackson, the King of Pop himself, was friendly with Epstein. He was at Epstein’s Palm Beach mansion at least once, as explained in Johanna Sjoberg’s deposition:

Sjoberg would also testify that Epstein would speak on the phone with other celebrities, including Leonardo DiCaprio and Cate Blanchett:

Frederick Fekkai

Frederkick Fekkai is a French celebrity hairstylist and beauty entrepreneur. Sjoberg would testify that Epstein tried to “find some girls for him” while Fekkai was in Hawaii.

Several of the documents unveiled today had previously been made public during the Giuffre v. Maxwell legal proceedings, albeit in a more censored format. To illustrate, one document disclosed today provides details about accusations against Ghislaine Maxwell, claiming she confiscated the passport of a 15-year-old girl.

Furthermore, not everyone mentioned in the documents is implicated in any wrongdoing. The released documents encompassed individuals such as victims’ doctors, friends, and family members. It was regrettable and disheartening to witness the media and various influential figures on social media (the list being extensive and distinguished) categorize these innocent individuals alongside the “unknown” predators, as if all the revealed names were part of “Epstein’s List.”

In any event, the roster of unidentified wrongdoers (distinct from those already known, such as Sarah Kellen) alleged to have committed abuse is relatively small. The disclosed information today does not encompass all the unidentified perpetrators, and more names are anticipated to be revealed in the forthcoming days. This includes an alleged associate and witness of Epstein who is said to have “supposedly engaged in serious wrongdoing.”
