On Monday morning, the fourth round of documents from a lawsuit linked to Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier and convicted pedophile who died in jail before facing trial on federal sex-trafficking charges, was publicly released. This latest release of 17 unsealed documents follows last week's release of thousands of pages, with the final documents expected to be released today.
Unsealed documents from a 2015 civil defamation suit filed by Virginia Roberts Giuffre reveal details about her claims of sexual abuse by Jeffrey Epstein and alleged involvement of Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's former girlfriend. The release of these documents comes after a recent court order in response to media requests for their public disclosure. The documents are anticipated to reveal nearly 200 names, potentially including Epstein's accusers, as well as prominent businesspeople and politicians.
Most of the latest batch of documents contained previously revealed information, though additional documents are expected to be released on Monday.
