Celebrities and politicians have been named in bombshell court documents identifying associates of convicted paedo Jeffrey Epstein. Celebrities Donald Trump, Michael Jackson, Cate Blanchett, and Leonardo DiCaprio are among the high-profile names revealed in newly released filings.
An order for the bombshell files to be released was given by New York judge Loretta Preska in relation to the 2015 defamation case brought by Virginia Roberts Giuffre against Ghislaine Maxwell.
Of over 100 names in the new files, which will include emails, legal documents, depositions and more, there is no suggestion many of those named are accused of any wrongdoing. Names that appear in the documents include several A-listers:
The documents, which include previous testimony by Maxwell, contain a number of allegations, including that Prince Andrew took part in an “underage orgy”.
An unnamed Jane Doe – understood to be his accuser Giuffre – was allegedly “forced” by convicted sex offender Epstein to “have sexual relations with this Prince” and to “give the Prince whatever he demanded”.
A 2014 court filing listed on page 129 of the unsealed documents alleges that Maxwell “facilitated Prince Andrew’s acts of sexual abuse by acting as a ‘madame’ for Epstein”.
It goes on to claim that Jane Doe 3, understood to be Giuffre, was kept as a sex slave by Epstein and was “forced to have sexual relations with this Prince when she was a minor in three separate geographical locations.”
The alleged incidents happened “in London (at Ghislaine Maxwell’s apartment), in New York, and on Epstein’s private island in the US Virgin Islands (in an orgy with numerous other under-aged girls).”
The unsealed docs claim Epstein told Jane Doe 3 to “give the Prince whatever he demanded”. He also allegedly “required Jane Doe #3 to report back to him on the details of the sexual abuse”.
Jane Doe 3, according to the filing, was trafficked to “foreign presidents, a well-known prime minister, and other world leaders”. Giuffre has previously claimed she was forced to have sex with Andrew in three separate locations, including in an orgy on Epstein’s island.
In a transcript of her deposition, Maxwell claims Andrew only ever visited Epstein’s ‘paedo’ island once. She added that no girls were present during the prince’s visit – only female staff.
And she denied ever “at any time, at anyplace, in any moment ever asked Virginia Roberts or whatever she is called now to have sex with anybody.”
Andrew has always denied any wrongdoing and told the BBC in 2019 that he had never met Virginia Giuffre. Maxwell also said under oath that she “did not recall” being in London with Giuffre (then Roberts) and Andrew – despite photographs showing the three together.
