Documents disclosing the names of Jeffrey Epstein employees and other alleged associates are set to become public in the coming months, after the people did not object to unsealing the materials.
More than 150 people who have confirmed or alleged links to Epstein, such as being his employee or one of his alleged victims, chose not to come forward to object to the disclosure of their names. They are mentioned in documents filed in a defamation case brought in 2015 against Ghislaine Maxwell, an Epstein associate.
The lawsuit was settled in 2017, but outside groups have pushed for the release of the documents in the interest of public access.
Some of the people objected to their names being released and convinced U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska, the George H.W. Bush appointee who is overseeing the case, to keep their identities shielded.
