List could be released as soon as Tuesday after deadline for objections to unsealing of names passes midnight Monday

Nearly 200 names connected to the Jeffrey Epstein-Ghislaine Maxwell sex trafficking conspiracy could be released by a New York judge as soon as Tuesday, exposing or confirming the identities of dozens of associates of the disgraced financier that until now have only been known as John and Jane Does in court papers.

A deadline for objections to the unsealing of the names passes at midnight on Monday, nearly nine years after victim Virginia Giuffre filed a single defamation claim against Maxwell, daughter of the late British press baron Robert Maxwell, in 2015, that in turn produced the names in legal depositions.

A year later, in 2016, US district court judge Robert Sweet rejected Maxwell’s motion to dismiss the case, finding that “the veracity of a contextual world of facts more broad than the allegedly defamatory statements” and that Guiffre “was a victim of sustained underage sexual abuse between 1999 and 2002”. The parties settled out of court in 2017.

    This is going to be interesting for the news cycle! Trump obviously, but who else? So Bill Clinon, Bill Gates, who else!

    More importantly, where did they touch and how long did they touch for?

        Come on man, if you’re gonna gaslight at least spell “Hollywood” right. “the entire democratic party ever”? You can do better than that. I know English isn’t your first language but you could at least plug it into grammarly or something.

        smh this troll can’t even troll correctly. I guess enshitification applies to bait accounts too

          Not trolling though, the list was published, and Biden, Al Gore, Obama etc were on the island. Most hollywood as well. Trump was no surprise, we all knew he was friends with the guy. But the virtue signaling democrats are a fun sight there

          And yeah, English ain’t my first language, at least I know more than 1 :) Not gonna use grammarly when typing fast from the phone, sorry.

          Typing fast on the mobile, no

            Moi aussi.

            I was not aware that Biden, Al Gore, and Obama were “the entire democratic party ever”? Strange how that list of under 200 names somehow includes all 250+ federal democratic congressman and presidents AND most of Hollywood?? Wow my apologies, I clearly hadn’t realized that over half of the 10s of thousands of people who work in the movie industry were also on that list of under 200!

            Good catch on that one!

            Perhaps you should try actually engaging in discussion instead of just mouthing off complete nonsense and hoping no one calls your bluff?

          Been here since day 1 mon ami.

          Extra effective here, too, since there is less established rules, established mods, and corporate structure to fight.

        Miley was a minor herself while most of Epstein’s “business” was going on. Jesus Christ, find a better target besides right wing hate person of the week.

          No idea about it (meaning how old she was when she visited) but she was on the list as visitor to the island
