New Court Documents Released in Jeffrey Epstein Case
The US court has unsealed the third and fourth batches of documents containing details of Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of teenage girls.
A total of 73 exhibits were released, with the third tranche consisting of 411 pages and the fourth totaling 649.
These papers were part of a lawsuit filed by Virginia Guiffre, one of Epstein’s victims, against Epstein‘s former girlfriend and long-time associate Ghislaine Maxwell. The lawsuit was settled in 2017.
The documents contain the names of celebrities and politicians who socialized or worked with Epstein before accusations against him became public.
The third set of documents includes photocopies of Epstein’s assistant’s notepad, revealing that Harvey Weinstein once called the paedophile financier. It also shows that he received a call from the wife of former Victoria’s Secret CEO Les Wexner “to talk about something private”.
Lawyers hunting for information on Maxwell’s computer searched for words including “Prince” and “Andrew” as well as the terms “masturbate” and “nipple”.

Why the court docs are being released now
All the names mentioned in the Epstein docs so far
Officers specifically searched Maxwell’s computer for information on Prince Andrew
The unsealing of the first batch of papers caused the court’s website to crash earlier this week, but much of the content repeats information that was already in the public domain.
Prince Andrew has found himself back in the spotlight though, as the second release included testimony from a woman who claimed he touched her breast while on a couch at Epstein’s Manhattan apartment in 2001.
Buckingham Palace has previously said the allegations are “categorically untrue”.
Other notable names mentioned are Stephen Hawking, Michael Jackson, and Bill Clinton.
