Associates of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein are being named, as information from court documents is getting revealed. Many well known names have already been shared. Here's everything we know about the story so far.
Jeffrey Epstein was an American financier who was convicted of sex offences against children in the two thousands. He was awaiting trial for further offences when he died in prison in twenty nineteen.
A court case against his companion Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently in prison for helping Epstein commit offences, has released documents containing the names of people who were associated with Epstein in various ways. There is no implication in the documents that all of those named did anything illegal, but many are questioning their relationships with the sex offender.
Among those named are Prince Andrew, former presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump, and David Copperfield. Kevin Spacey, Stephen Hawking and Michael Jackson also appear in the documents. Further files are expected to be released over the coming days.
