The federal court in Manhattan has authorized the release of nearly 1,000 pages of judicial documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case. As a result, a list of personalities who have been associated with the pedophile has emerged, but without any criminal or delinquent accusations.

These revelations had been anticipated and expected since an order dated December 18th. In the night between Wednesday, January 3rd and Thursday, January 4th, New York Judge Loretta Preska released documents revealing about 180 names who have been closely or remotely associated with businessman Jeffrey Epstein, four years after his suicide.

Among them, we find former Presidents Bill Clinton (1993-2001) and Donald Trump (2017-2021), Prince Andrew, pop icon Michael Jackson, illusionist David Copperfield, and scientist Stephen Hawking. The first three had already been made public in the context of the case, without prosecution.

This judicial act results from a defamation procedure against former mistress and accomplice of Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell – who has been serving a 20-year prison sentence since 2022 –, and brought by an American plaintiff against the couple, Virginia Giuffre.


No incriminating revelations

These documents should be taken with a grain of salt, and if you were expecting to see these powerful, wealthy, and famous men fall from their pedestals, you're going to be disappointed. Epstein's network, which seemed to mingle with the entire New York elite, is now public, yes, but there is no indication of illegal or reprehensible behavior on the part of his contacts. They are not named as potential clients.  

Trump is mentioned as an acquaintance. The former president even stated in the New York Times that he had "fallen out" with his former friend several years ago and that he was "not a fan of the character". Bill Clinton, on the other hand, was much closer to the billionaire, but without any clear evidence of illegal activities. However, in a sworn statement, Johanna Sjoberg, an accuser of Jeffrey Epstein, claimed that the businessman had told her that Clinton "liked them young, referring to girls."


A case plagued by conspiracy theories

The significance of these documents should also be considered in light of the fact that conspiracy theories have flourished on the.It's about social networks. Some names are not those of his accomplices, but rather of his associates, witnesses, or even victims. This is the case with the scientist Stephen Hawking, who did not participate in an orgy with minors on the island as some internet users indicate, but rather attended a scientific conference there.

Just a reminder, before his suicide in 2019, Jeffrey Epstein was incarcerated awaiting trial for sexual exploitation of minors and conspiracy, facing up to 45 years in prison. He was accused of bringing minors to his residences in Manhattan and Palm Beach (Florida) between 2002 and 2005, to engage in sexual acts with him, and then giving them hundreds of dollars in cash. If you want to know more about the case, it is portrayed in a Netflix documentary called Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich.
