Jeffrey Epstein: Who was named in court documents?
Jeffrey Epstein died in prison in 2019 while awaiting trial he never uh faced trial for his crimes he died by apparent suicide one of his accomplices though a lady named Galen Maxwell uh was sentenced to prison to 20 years in prison for sex trafficking in 2021 I sat through almost the entirety
Of that trial heard horrific detail of how she lured young girls as young as 14 years old uh to Jeffrey Epstein’s various homes for him to abuse them in the most despicable ways and these documents stem from a civil case settled between Gillan Maxwell and one of Jeffrey Epstein’s most famous accusers
Virginia je fre anyone who’s been following this case will know the name Virginia je fre because she is the person who accused prince Andrew of sexually abusing her while she was underage claims that the prince has always denied they settled uh another civil suit in 2022 but these court
Documents relate to a case settled between Virginia eup fre uh the lady on your screen and Gillan Maxwell they are 943 pages in their length and until now many of these names of those associated with Jeffrey Epstein and not all of them are accused explicitly of any wrongdoing
Until now they have been John and Jane Doe until that is a judge ruled uh that the documents should be fully unsealed and so we have these names thrown back into the spotlight of course among them prince Andrew he is named throughout these documents I’ll just uh highlight
One um area to do with prince Andrew there is a deposition from A lady called Joanna sherg she says that in March 2001 when she was 21 years old and at a home in New York owned by Jeffrey Epstein she alleges that the prince groped her breast while playing with a spitting
Image puppet of himself so a puppet that bears a likeness to the prince they are claims that the prince uh has denied also mentioned uh in these documents is the former US President Bill Clinton also mentioned in this uh deposition of Joanna Sher she is asked uh did Jeffrey
Ever talk to you about Bill Clinton she responds he said one time that Clinton likes them young referring to girls so these documents 943 pages long we’re still working uh through them um but certainly any association for prince Andrew uh with Jeffrey Epstein is very uncomfortable indeed
Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump and Stephen Hawking are among those named in court documents relating to Ghislaine Maxwell, her relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and alleged victims of sexual abuse.
US Judge Loretta Preska ruled in December that documents that were part of a 2015 defamation case by Virginia Giuffre against Ghislaine Maxwell should be made public.
