A second set of court documents tied to deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and his associates were released Thursday evening.
The documents that were unsealed provide more information regarding Epstein’s sexual abuse of minors, along with his partner, Ghislaine Maxwell, and come a day after several documents were unsealed revealing the names of several people who had been associated with Epstein.
The unsealed documents were part of legal proceedings between Virginia Guiffre, an alleged victim of Epstein, and Maxwell. While the case was settled in 2017, a judge recently ruled that there would be no reason to keep the names on the list concealed.

Among the new documents contains a list of several people Giuffre had listed as possibly knowing about Epstein and Maxwell’s sex trafficking ring.
Notable people such as former President Bill Clinton, who is not accused of any wrongdoing; British Prince Andrew, who is accused of wrongdoing; deceased former Gov. Bill Richardson (D-N.M.); deceased model scout Jean-Luc Brunel; former Clinton aide Doug Band; and billionaire and founder of Bath and Body Works Les Wexner are among the names included on the list.
Former President Donald Trump, who was not accused of wrongdoing, was mentioned in documents released Wednesday. Singer Michael Jackson and theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking, both deceased, were among the other notable people mentioned in documents on Wednesday.
A collection of email messages between Giuffre and journalist Sharon Churcher was also included in the court documents released on Thursday. In an email message from May 2011, Giuffre expresses concerns about doing an interview with Vanity Fair, alleging that Clinton had “walked into VF and threatened them not to write sex-trafficking articles about his good friend J.E.”
When reached out for questioning by Fox News, a spokesperson for Clinton shared a link to a Telegram report from former Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter denying that had happened.
Among other documents released was a motion filed by two Jane Does in 2014, which details how Epstein and Maxwell manipulated and sexually abused minors.
“In 1999, Jane Does #3 was approached by Ghislaine Maxwell, one of the main women whom Epstein used to procure under-aged girls for sexual activities and a primary co-conspirator in his sexual abuse and sex trafficking scheme,” the document read. “In fact, it became known to the government that Maxwell herself regularly participated in Epstein’s sexual exploitation of minors, including Jane Doe #3. Maxwell persuaded Jane Doe #3 (who was then fifteen years old) to come to Epstein’s mansion in a fashion very similar to the manner in which Epstein and his other co-conspirators coerced dozens of other children (including Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2).”
The document then adds that Epstein became “enamored” with the young girl known as, Jane Doe #3, and kept her as a “sex slave.”
“Epstein kept Jane Doe #3 as his sex slave from about 1999 through 2002, when she managed to escape to a foreign country and hide out from Epstein and his co-conspirators for years,” the document continues. “From 1999 through 2002, Epstein frequently sexually abused Jane Doe #3, not only in West Palm Beach, but also in New York, New Mexico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, in international airspace on his Epstein’s private planes, and elsewhere.”
The document also implies that Epstein lent Jane Doe, and other girls to “powerful people” in an effort to “ingratiate himself with them for business, personal, political, and financial gain, as well as to obtain potential blackmail information.”
Epstein died on Aug. 10, 2019, while being held at the Metropolitan Correction Center in New York. His death has been ruled a suicide, and in June 2023, a report from the Department of Justice’s Office of the Inspector General (OIG) found that his suicide had come as a result of “negligence” and “misconduct.”
