Documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, billionaire and American businessman who died by suicide in prison in 2019 before facing trial for sexual assault and trafficking crimes, have revealed the involvement of prominent figures. These documents include names of women believed to be Epstein's victims and others suspected of conspiring with him.

Last month, US Judge Loretta Preska ordered the release of documents containing the names of politicians, members of royal families, businessmen, lawyers, and artists - all who total between 150 and 180 names.

The documents are part of a defamation lawsuit filed by American Virginia Giuffre against Epstein, his former lover and associate Ghislaine Maxwell, the daughter of British media mogul Robert Maxwell - Giuffre is an alleged victim of the sex trafficking ring ran by Epstein

Maxwell, holding British, French, and American citizenship, a well connected figure with celebrities, was arrested in New York in December 2021 on five sex trafficking-related counts for Epstein. She was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2022.

Names associated with Epstein include:

Prince Andrew, Duke of York - Joanna Sjoberg, a girl who worked for Epstein, who accused British Prince Andrew of sexually assaulting her three times in 2001 when she was 17, in London, New York, and the British Virgin Islands. Andrew, 62 years old, denied the allegations but was stripped of his titles after the case. He reached a settlement worth USD 13 million paid to Sjoberg.

Alan Dershowitz - A former law professor at Harvard, known for his work in American criminal law, was appointed by the “Israeli” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to represent Tel Aviv in the International Court of Justice next week.

The documents related to him include allegations made by a Jane Doe #3 stating that Epstein "asked her" to engage in sexual relations with Dershowitz on multiple occasions when she was a minor. Dershowitz's visits to Epstein's Florida mansion for massage sessions were confirmed by Epstein's house manager.

Dershowitz, in an interview with Fox News last Wednesday, claimed that "Jane Doe #3" misidentified him and denied ever meeting her. He accused her of "hypocrisy" in the "Me Too" movement and blamed "extremist feminists" for focusing on Epstein and his associates without condemning Hamas for what it did on October 7, 2023.

Ehud Barak's name also appeared in the documents. In her testimony, Joanna Sjoberg denied meeting the former Israeli Occupation Prime Minister during her time with Epstein.

Last spring, Barak stated to the "Wall Street Journal" that he did in fact communicate with Epstein in New York but claimed he never met the businessman "with girls or minors, or even adult women in an inappropriate context or behavior."

Stephen Hawking - the late theoretical physicist, also appeared in an email sent by Epstein to Maxwell in January 2015, where he asked Maxwell to send gifts to Giuffre's friends, family, and acquaintances to refute Giuffre's allegations against Stephen Hawking.

The email added that Hawking participated in orgies with underage girls.

Michael Jackson is one more, where Sjoberg stated that she saw the American singer at Epstein's residence, and when asked if she had provided him with a massage, she said no.

Former US Presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump were mentioned in the documents but were not charged.

While Sjoberg stated that she had not personally met Clinton, she testified to Epstein telling her that "Clinton likes them young," seemingly referring to underaged girls. Giuffre had previously testified to a close relationship between Clinton and Epstein; but she did not accuse him of any illegal activities.

Clinton repeatedly denied all allegations of involvement in anything illegal, asserting that he had not had any contact with Epstein for several years.

As for Trump, Sjoberg recounted an incident when she departed with Epstein and Giuffre aboard a plane from Palm Beach, Florida, in 2001. When the plane couldn't land in New York due to a storm, they were forced to land in Atlantic City and proceeded to one of Trump's casinos.

American magician David Copperfield is one more figure seen by Sjoberg at one of Epstein's homes, noting that he is a friend of Epstein. She also recalled a girl at dinner one night who “looked like she was in high school.”

The full list and documents have not been disclosed yet, and judge Loretta Preska has not yet set a release date for more information - it is, however, widely believed that more documents will be unraveled in the coming days.
