A federal judge in New York has ordered the release of court documents to be made public in 2024 that will reveal the names of individuals associated with Jeffrey Epstein, according to Huff Post. 

The documents are part of a lawsuit involving Epstein’s former partner Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a prison sentence for sex trafficking. Epstein, who was awaiting trial for his own sex trafficking charges, died by suicide in 2019.

Judge Loretta Preska stated that anyone who objects to their name being released has 14 days to appeal the decision. The list of names will include various individuals mentioned in a defamation lawsuit against Maxwell by Virginia Giuffre, who accused Maxwell of recruiting her as a teenager for Epstein’s sexual activities. 

The list could potentially include co-conspirators and victims of Epstein. However, some names will remain sealed or redacted to protect the privacy of alleged minor victims of sexual abuse who have not spoken publicly. While the list may include public figures such as former Presidents Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, as well as attorney Alan Dershowitz, many of the associations between these individuals and Epstein have already been widely reported in the media.

Epstein faced federal charges for the sex trafficking of minors in Florida and New York before his death. All criminal charges against him were dismissed following his suicide.
