Under the reporting from Raw Story on January 3, 2024, previously concealed details regarding clients in the Jeffrey Epstein case have been unveiled, now accessible to the public eye. The release of these documents is taking place in phases, with an initial set becoming available on Wednesday.
Further papers divulging information about more of Epstein’s associates are slated for publication in the near future.
Among the identifiable figures disclosed in the unsealed documents is former President Bill Clinton, previously referred to as “Doe 36.” Notably, Clinton did not contest the disclosure, and no fresh allegations have surfaced against him.

A deposition by Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s associate, indicated Clinton’s travels on Epstein’s private jet and shared meals during those flights.
Nonetheless, there exists no substantiated evidence to suggest Clinton’s presence on Epstein’s private island. Epstein had alleged Clinton’s interest in young girls.
The documents also shed light on Prince Andrew’s relationship with Epstein. Johanna Sjoberg, one of Epstein’s victims, testified that Prince Andrew touched her inappropriately at his Manhattan residence.
These revelations have refocused attention on Prince Andrew, who claimed to have terminated ties with Epstein in 2010.
While speculation about an exhaustive roster of Epstein’s acquaintances and their alleged involvements persists, the unsealed documents present a more intricate picture.
They disclose the identities of Epstein’s influential connections while also identifying victims, household staff, and others incidentally mentioned during the legal dispute between Virginia Roberts Giuffre and Maxwell.
The unsealed documents divulge the true identities of numerous individuals previously anonymized as John or Jane Does.
For instance, Carolyn Andriano, previously known as “J. Doe 005,” provided testimony against Maxwell, detailing her trafficking by Epstein from the age of 14. Tragically, Andriano passed away from an apparent overdose. Similarly, Courtney Wild, previously designated as “Doe 185,” played a pivotal role in contesting Epstein’s 2007 plea deal.
Out of more than 170 individuals whose identities were due to be revealed, two have been granted extensions to safeguard their privacy. One is an Epstein victim, identified as “Doe 107,” while the other, “Doe 110,” remains unidentified.
These unsealed documents follow Epstein’s demise in 2019 and Maxwell’s subsequent trial and conviction in 2021. The release stems from civil lawsuits initiated by Giuffre against Epstein and Maxwell.
US District Judge Loretta Preska oversees the unsealing process, carefully considering the delicate balance between public access and individual privacy.
The unsealed documents provide critical insights into Epstein’s global sex trafficking network, underscoring the necessity of uncovering such networks and holding those complicit accountable.
The ongoing endeavors to combat sex trafficking and secure justice for Epstein’s victims receive substantial reinforcement through the release of these additional documents.
