Jeffrey Epstein: US court releases list of people connected to financier

A US court has released a list of people connected to the financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Some of those named are accused of wrongdoing, while others on the list - which was expected to include some high-profile individuals - are making allegations or are potential witnesses.

A judge ordered the release as part of a lawsuit related to Epstein's associate Ghislaine Maxwell.

She is serving a 20-year jail term for the crimes she committed with Epstein.

The BBC is currently reviewing the 943 pages of documents, which were released on Wednesday evening.

Some of the 187 people who were previously known as "J Doe" in court papers have been identified. But other names have remained sealed, including those belonging to child victims.

When ordering the release of the list, New York Judge Loretta Preska said many of those named in the lawsuit had already been identified by the media or in Maxwell's criminal trial.

She added that many others did not raise an objection to the release of the documents.

This is a developing story. More updates to follow.

On Wednesday, a 946-page trove of court documents from that 2015 case - filed by Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre - were unsealed, with details including how Epstein emailed Maxwell to insist that Stephen Hawking did not participate in an underage orgy on his Caribbean Island in 2006.

Hawking, the celebrated wheelchair-bound physicist who died in March 2018 aged 76, was among the guests at a barbecue during a conference on the island sponsored by Epstein.

Stephen Hawking somehow violated children.
 
Even if they didn't screw kids why would they ever associate themselves with Epstein? Even decades ago people talked about the "Lolita Express". Surely these rich and powerful people should have known it would be a dent in their reputation, right?
In a time where rockstars would fuck underage groupies on the regular without batting an eye it probably didn't even occur to them.
 
The documents also show Maxwell confirming that Bill Clinton dined on Epstein's private jet, while traveling around the world, and denying that the former president ever visited Epstein's Caribbean Island, Little St James.

'The allegation that Clinton had a meal on Jeffrey's island is 100 percent false,' Maxwell said.
'I'm sure he had a meal on Jeffrey's plane.'

Quick to jump in with the damage control.
 
I have not been following this at all- but how do we know these are all the names of bad guys and not victims? By age I guess?

edit: Stephen Hawking was not very faithful to either wife I thought it was widely known he was a "I'm crippled but I'm famous and rich so I can definitely pay lots of hot women to [redacted] me" person.

Q. Did you ever tell Johanna that she would get extra money if she provided Jeffrey massages?
A. I was always happy to give career advice to people and I think that becoming somebody in the healthcare profession, either exercise instructor or nutritionist or professional massage therapist is an excellent job opportunity. Hourly wages are around 7 , 8, $9 and as a professional healthcare provider you can earn somewhere between as we have established 10 0 to $2 00 and to be able to travel and have a job that pays that is a wonderful job opportunity. So in the context of advising people for opportunities for work, it is possible that I would have said that she should explore that as an option.
How hard is it to just say yes?
