- DailyMail.com can reveal the last of the sealed court documents related to 167 of Epstein’s associates will finally be made public
- The papers refer to ‘alleged perpetrators’ or individuals accused of ‘serious wrongdoing’
The final batch of court documents containing ‘salacious’ allegations related to 167 of Jeffrey Epstein‘s associates, victims, and employees, will finally be unsealed – nearly four years after the disgraced financier’s death.
The material will be made public in the coming months and, DailyMail.com can reveal, is expected to include information pertaining to at least one ‘public figure.’
The documents refer to ‘alleged perpetrators’ or individuals accused of ‘serious wrongdoing’, as well as law enforcement officers and prosecutors, according to a declaration filed on Wednesday.
Prince Andrew, who is accused of having sex with Epstein victim Virginia Roberts when she was 17, and Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz, are understood to be among the individuals mentioned in the papers.
Other high-profile men who have been associated with the pedophile include Bill Gates, Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, though it is unclear if they will be mentioned.
The documents represent the last of the sealed material to be made public as part of a years-long process that has been rumbling through federal court in New York since before Epstein apparently killed himself in 2019 while awaiting trial for sex trafficking charges.
The material was first filed in a defamation case brought by Roberts in 2015 against Ghislaine Maxwell, who is now serving 20 years in prison for sex trafficking and recruiting minors for Epstein.
The lawsuit was settled under seal in 2017 but the case material has since been gradually released in batches after numerous requests from media organizations.
The remaining documents are now set to be released after dozens of John or Jane Does mentioned in the papers did not object to their names being made public – which DailyMail.com understands includes The Duke of York.
The individuals are not named in a February 8 filing but all of them appear set to be revealed when the documents are unsealed.
J. Doe 5 is listed as a ‘victim’ who gave evidence at Maxwell’s trial using only her first name.
Roberts’s lawyers asked that her last name be redacted, but lawyers for Maxwell pointed out that she had used her second name in a media interview so it should not.
J. Doe 18 is an assistant state attorney who has been previously identified in a police report.
The individual appears to have been involved in the charges brought against Epstein in 2007 under which he served just 15 months in jail for soliciting a minor for prostitution as part of a sweetheart deal with state prosecutors in Florida.
J. Doe 21 is described as a ‘public figure’ by Maxwell’s lawyers who objected to their name becoming public because of the only known reference to them being in Epstein’s ‘Black Book’ of contacts.
Roberts’s lawyers point out that the person made no objection to their name being released.
J. Doe 23 is deceased but was accused of ‘serious wrongdoing’, the documents state. They are not identified by name.
Maxwell’s lawyers strongly objected to the release of any material related to J. Doe 36, who is described as an ‘Epstein affiliate’.
Her attorneys said that during Maxwell’s trial there was just one reference to the individual flying on Epstein’s private jet.
The document states: ‘The items the plaintiff (Roberts) hopes to unseal contain a number of salacious, unproven allegations’.
Lawyers for Roberts – who now goes by her married name of Virginia Giuffre – said that the material should be ‘unsealed in full’ as the person did not object to it coming out, even after being sent copies of the material related to them.
J. Doe 49 appears to be Dershowitz as their entry refers to Roberts admitting she was mistaken over her claims about him.
Roberts, 39, sued Dershowitz, 84, for defamation but dropped the case last year when she admitted that she ‘may have made a mistake’ in identifying him.
Dershowitz has always maintained his innocence and has called for all material related to him to be made public.
J. Does 59, 113, 132 and 134 are also alleged to have engaged in ‘serious wrongdoing’. While Does 59 and 132 are dead, the other two are alive.
No other details are given about who they are.
Another of the individuals, J. Doe 117, is a former Assistant US Attorney, which could give further insight into the circumstances of Epstein’s plea deal.
Others with documents about them are described as ‘law enforcement officers’ or alleged ‘Maxwell affiliates’.
J. Doe 132 is described as an ‘alleged Epstein affiliate’ and ‘alleged perpetrator’.
Allegations about this person have been ‘widely reported in the media’ and they are now deceased, the court document states.
J. Doe 148 is described as an ‘alleged perpetrator’, ‘alleged Epstein affiliate’ and ‘alleged witness’ who is still alive.
Roberts’s lawyers said that the person did not raise any objection and that their name had been made public in a previous batch of unsealed documents.
The attorneys note that the person will have a ‘fair opportunity’ to respond to any unsealed allegations.
According to Roberts, Andrew first had sex with her when she was 17 at Maxwell’s townhouse in London.
They had sex twice more in Epstein’s New York townhouse and his private island in the Caribbean, she claimed.
Prince Andrew has strongly denied the claims but he settled a lawsuit for battery brought by Roberts last year for a reported $12m.
Roberts is now writing her memoir while the Duke reportedly feels that he can make a return to public life after being shunned over his links to Epstein.
