A fresh series of documents associated with the declined financier and convicted offender Jeffrey Epstein have been disclosed to the public. The unveiling of these documents occurred on Friday, highlighting four new disclosed files that encompass details about Epstein.
This measure was carried out following the mandate by U.S. Judge Loretta Preska who authorized publication of legal filings pertaining to a lawsuit launched by Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein’s victims, against Ghislaine Maxwell.
Ghislaine Maxwell, who finds herself currently serving her time in a federal correctional facility for crimes related to sex trafficking, faced the lawsuit in 2015. The complaint was filed in response to Maxwell’s public accusations of Ms. Giuffre lacking truthfulness in her declarations of sexual exploitation as a minor. However, the particular lawsuit concluded in 2017 albeit the associated documents remained securely sealed until now.
The initial tranche of court documents amounted to forty in total and was brought to the limelight this Wednesday. Several prominent figures have been named within these documents, including but not limited to Michael Jackson, Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton and magician David Copperfield. As per the legal protocols, the mentioned names alone do not explicitly point towards a direct involvement in misconduct.
In the freshly disclosed testimonies, Ghislaine Maxwell fervently denied having any cognizance of the function that Epstein’s assistant and accomplice, Sara Kellen, reiterated within the fallen financier’s criminal trafficking operations. She was further probed about her rapport with Glenn Dubin, a hedge fund billionaire, and his spouse, Eva Dubin, a scientist and erstwhile Miss Sweden, in the new disclosures.
BREAKING: Third batch of Epstein docs was just released.
REMINDER: Not a single one of Epstein’s clients in the US has been arrested.

Maxwell, affirming her friendship with the Dubins, was queried on the possibility of her having dispatched Virginia Giuffre to meet the couple at their residence. The recent disclosure of the documents provides a significant spotlight on Ruslana Korshunova, the late model. The unsealed files state that she was a fellow traveler on Epstein’s private aircraft, referred to colloquially amongst the press as the ‘Lolita Express.’
Among the co-passengers with Korshunova on the trip back in 2006 to Epstein’s island, ‘Little St James,’ included Epstein himself, his bodyguard Igor Zinoviev, personal chef Lance Calloway, and Epstein’s assistant Sarah Kellen. At the time of the journey, Korshunova was just 18.
Moving towards a fresh narrative within these cases, renowned lawyer Alan Dershowitz has played a role in actions towards further document unsealing. In collaboration with The Miami Herald, reporter Julie Brown, who has been instrumental in unveiling Epstein’s illicit activities and his subsequent evasion of justice for numerous years, filed a proposal for unlocking more hidden documents placed under the docket 1026-3.
The motion submitted suggests that the unveiled docket could potentially elucidate how several anonymous individuals (‘Jane and John Does’), whose identities are currently undisclosed, coincide with the individuals named in the previous releases. Dershowitz, who himself features 137 times in these documents and faces graven accusations, seconded the proposal of the Herald.
Around these events, Virginia Giuffre maintains that Mr. Bill Clinton exerted pressure on a certain magazine’s office preventing them from publishing content revolving around his close relation with Epstein. Reflecting the relations within Epstein’s circle, a deposition from May 2016 includes a testimony from Johanna Sjoberg. On one occasion, Maxwell referred to the young females on Epstein’s island as her ‘children.’
Julie K Brown, the reporter for The Miami Herald whose relentless efforts contributed significantly to the exposure of Epstein’s extensive criminal network and the years of justice evasion, addressed a tweet from business reporter for The New York Times, Matthew Goldstein. His statement was about the insignificance of mere association with Epstein to the larger narrative.
Another subsequent name appearing in these court filings is the former model scout Jean-Luc Brunel. Brunel met his end two years ago in a prison cell in France in what was ruled as suicide. At the time, Brunel was confronted with charges relating to sexual assault and trafficking.
This unfolding of documents characterizes another significant step towards exposing the extent of Epstein’s nefarious operations and the network of individuals possibly involved. The disclosure process provides a remarkable illustration of legal transparency, and these revelations can potentially bring forward additional interconnected cases.
However, it’s critical to remember that those named within these documents are not automatically assumed guilty, despite the serious context and implications of the charges surrounding Epstein’s activities. Each allegation requires meticulous examination and fair judicial proceedings to uphold the integrity of our justice system.
It will be intriguing to follow this case as more documents related to it are unveiled, considering the grave nature of the allegations and their implications for some high-profile individuals. With continued investigation and exposure, truth will find its way to the fore, standing as a testament to the relentless pursuit of justice against sexual exploitation and trafficking.
