Arr, me hearties! A federal court in New York be spillin' the beans on more o' them Jeffrey Epstein papers! It be part o' a mighty lawsuit betwixt Virginia Giuffre and Ghislaine Maxwell. Avast ye, there be secrets awaitin' to be discovered!
A federal judge in New York has ordered the unsealing of dozens of names connected to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The lawsuit between Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell has led to the release of a second batch of files, including mentions of former President Bill Clinton and British Prince Andrew. Giuffre's lawyers uploaded 40 previously redacted documents, which were made public after U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska's order in December. The unsealed documents also include a collection of emails to and from Giuffre. Maxwell's lawyers accused journalist Sharon Churcher of assisting Giuffre in fabricating allegations against Prince Andrew and attorney Alan Dershowitz. Churcher was the sole source for the original story from Giuffre, according to Maxwell's lawyers. Epstein was accused of forcing a minor girl to have sexual relations with Dershowitz, who has denied all allegations related to Epstein. The names were previously sealed or redacted in documents from a 2015 lawsuit, which was settled in 2017. The first file dump contained few surprises, aside from an anecdote about David Copperfield performing "magic tricks" at one of Epstein's mansions and a bizarre reference to Stephen Hawking and "underage orgies." Around 240 documents are expected to be unsealed in total, and Judge Preska is considering arguments from additional individuals seeking to have their names withheld. Maxwell is appealing her criminal convictions.
