Previously sealed documents and photos related to Jeffery Epstein’s sex trafficking enterprise are being released in phases. The documents reportedly include the names of notable government leaders and celebrities.
The notorious sex trafficker died under suspicious circumstances at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan in 2019. His death was ruled a suicide.
After years of legal maneuvering, last week, Manhattan federal Judge Loretta Preska ordered the release of the sealed documents.
The documents include the names of approximately 170 individuals connected with Epstein. The latest release of documents includes photos of young girls on Epstein’s private island, according to a Fox News report.
Most of the photos appear to have been taken at Epstein’s residence in the Virgin Islands in 2006. Photos depict multiple minors and his accomplice in crime, Ghislaine Maxwell, who was convicted of sex crimes and is currently serving a 20-year sentence in a federal prison.
The photos are connected with a 2015 lawsuit brought forward by victim Virginia Giuffre.
Fox News reported the photos are also connected with a filing by victim Sarah Ransome, and were used to substantiate claims regarding Epstein’s “massage network” and Maxwell’s involvement in the enterprise.
Identified as “Mamma bear,” Giuffre’s attorneys argued that the photos “unequivocally” establish Maxwell’s active presence on Epstein’s island though she testified under oath she was “hardly around.”
Ransome made multiple questionable and unsubstantiated claims during her testimony. Her private emails and later testimony regarding former President Bill Clinton, billionaire Richard Branson and famed attorney Alan Dershowitz were deemed unreliable.
However, the photos of young girls on Epstein’s island further substantiate claims by accusers that Epstein was engaged in an elaborate network of sex trafficking.
Many are waiting for the full disclosure of the previously sealed or redacted list of people who had contact with the notorious sex trafficker. Releases of information are expected this month.
