‘160 cronies’ of Jeffrey Epstein to be named including high profile figures
The names of over 100 high-profile individuals who were part of Jeffrey Epstein’s sex ring are about to be released some four years after the disgraced financier’s mysterious death.
The “salacious” court documents will reportedly name at least one “public figure” alongside ”hundreds” of other individuals responsible for what have been described as “serious wrongdoings”.
The documents are set to be released after dozens of anonymous subjects mentioned in the papers said they did not object to their names being made public

The names of a number of Epstein’s employees and other victims are also expected to be revealed when the documents are unsealed in the coming months.
According to the Daily Mail, several dozen people will be listed as “associates” of Epstein and former girlfriend Ghislane Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year sentence for her part in his sex trafficking empire.
Despite the fact that he has consistently denied any wrongdoing, Prince Andrew is understood to be named in the papers, along with leading US lawyer Alan Dershowitz.
Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre has already withdrawn her accusations against Mr Dershowitz, telling the New York Times “I now recognise I may have made a mistake in identifying Mr Dershowitz”.

Allies of Prince Andrew have seen Ms Giuffre’s admission as a way to rebuild the Prince’s reputation.
A number of other internationally-famous men – including Microsoft billionaire Bill Gates, and former US presidents Donald Trump and Bill Clinton – have also been accused of being involved in Epstein’s activities.
Lawyers acting for Ghislane Maxwell have attempted to block the release of the documents, saying claiming there is no evidence to suggest that the men named were anything more than more than friends of Epstein.
In legal papers, they state: “The items the plaintiff (Roberts) hopes to unseal contain a number of salacious, unproven allegations”.
Epstein’s “Little Black Book” contained the contact details of hundreds of celebrities, politicians and business leaders that the multi-millionaire befriended over the years.
