A Trove of Jeffrey Epstein Documents Are About to Be Made Public

A court ruling is set to unmask at least 175 former associates and victims of deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein as soon as New Year's Day.

On Monday, U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska ordered the unsealing of hundreds of documents containing the identities of previously anonymous figures named in Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre's lawsuit against Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking related to Epstein.

Preska's order concerns 187 anonymous "J. Doe" figures who are mentioned in case documents. The identities of only 10 people, mostly alleged victims or people with no direct connection to the case, will remain sealed. The remaining 177 "Does," two of whom are each listed twice, will be revealed on January 1, pending any appeals that could delay the process.
