Jeffrey Epstein was charged with sex trafficking in July 2019 (File)
London:
The third batch of unsealed documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case was released yesterday. These documents contain additional deposition excerpts from Virginia Giuffre and Johanna Sjoberg, who are accusers of Epstein.
The documents originate from a 2015 civil suit filed by Virginia Giuffre, who alleges that she was one of the numerous young girls trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and his partner, Ghislaine Maxwell.
The newly released documents include excerpts of testimonies from Epstein’s close friends who assisted him in managing his sex trafficking enterprise.
Virginia Giuffre and Johanna Sjoberg’s deposition excerpts provide further details about how Epstein and Maxwell enticed teenage girls into the trafficking business.
In the new documents, Hillary Clinton’s name is mentioned as one of the “thirteen specific witnesses” by Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre. However, the court filing emphasizes that there are no accusations or allegations against the former first lady in this matter.
According to former housekeeper Juan Alessi, Prince Andrew frequently stayed at Epstein’s Palm Beach home, where he received daily massages.
The files linked to the ‘Paedo Island’ reveal that Epstein would pay $200 for each young girl brought to him as part of the sex trafficking scheme. Several underage girls reportedly accepted payments in exchange for providing him with massages.
Over 180 documents, including depositions, legal briefs, and email chains, have been released since Wednesday as part of this lawsuit.
Jeffrey Epstein, who was charged with sex trafficking in July 2019, died by suicide in a Manhattan prison cell before standing trial. Ghislaine Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking.
US prosecutors have previously stated that Epstein used his wealth and influence to sexually exploit dozens of young girls over the years, paying them cash for each encounter and offering even more if they recruited additional victims.
