List could include disgraced bankers, ousted CEOs and more
Nearly 200 names that had previously been redacted from court documents in a lawsuit against Jeffrey Epstein’s former lover and accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell will soon be made public after a federal judge in New York ordered their unsealing last month.
U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska issued a 51-page order explaining her reasoning on whether to unseal or continue to redact the names of about 180 John and Jane Does – giving some clues as to who they may be.
Some of the names were previously known through other means despite having been withheld from the public’s eye in the lawsuit. Many had publicly known ties to Epstein. Others on the list include his alleged victims, who were taken to his private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands or one of his mansions in New York City and Florida.
Virginia Giuffre, an Epstein accuser who said he trafficked her as a minor in the early 2000s, sued Maxwell in 2015. The parties settled out of court in 2017. Epstein had relationships with numerous influential figures, from politicians, including former presidents and prime ministers, to Hollywood stars, leading academics and the U.K.’s Prince Andrew, whom Giuffre also sued.

Doe 005 “waived any right to anonymity… and gave an interview using his or her first and last names,” Preska wrote, along with a link to a 2022 DailyMail interview with Epstein accuser Carolyn Andriano.
Doe 044
Doe 044 appears to be an Epstein accuser who gave multiple media interviews, according to the judge, who linked to a 2019 NBC News interview with British actress Anouska De Georgiou. Prior to that interview but two weeks after Epstein’s death, she appeared in court alongside more than a dozen other women to urge prosecutors to go after his alleged conspirators and enablers.

The judge also linked other articles involving interviews with Epstein’s former employees and noted there was no reason to protect the names of people who had been publicly discussed during Maxwell’s sex trafficking trial in criminal court.

RELATED: BREAKING: Bill Clinton to be Named as “Doe 36” in Epstein Court Documents
Published December 31, 2023
Former president Bill Clinton will be named in the Jeffrey Epstein court documents set to be unsealed this coming week.
Bill Clinton was good friends with Epstein and traveled on his private jet dubbed ‘Lolita Express’ over two dozen times and according to pilot logs, underage teenagers were on the flights with Clinton.
Earlier this month, it was reported that dozens of Jeffrey Epstein’s high-profile associates are in for a New Year’s surprise as they may be named in court documents set to be released in the first days of 2024.
Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz, who previously called for all material related to him to be made public, was the only John Doe identified by name before ABC’s report on Bill Clinton.

Judge Loretta Preska, however, stayed her order, which gives attorneys representing the “Does” time to convince the court to keep names under seal, so it is unclear if the public will ever see the full Epstein client list.
“Hundreds of sealed court filings pertaining to the late sex-offender Jeffrey Epstein are set to be made public this week, and several prominent names — including Britain’s Prince Andrew and former President Bill Clinton — are expected to appear in the documents.” ABC News reported.
According to ABC News, Bill Clinton is named as “Doe 36” in “more than fifty redacted filings.”

Former President Clinton, Prince Andrew and others are expected to be named.
Published December 31, 2023
Hundreds of sealed court filings pertaining to the late sex-offender Jeffrey Epstein are set to be made public this week, and several prominent names — including Britain’s Prince Andrew and former President Bill Clinton — are expected to appear in the documents.
U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska ruled earlier this month there was no legal justification for continuing to conceal the ex-president’s name and more than 150 names other “John and Jane Does” mentioned in the records. Preska ordered the unsealing to begin after Jan. 1.
The documents stem from a 2015 civil lawsuit centered on allegations that Epstein’s one-time paramour, Ghislaine Maxwell, facilitated the sexual abuse of Virginia Giuffre, an alleged trafficking victim. Giuffre also accused Epstein and Maxwell of directing her to have sex with Prince Andrew and several other prominent men. Prince Andrew denied the allegations and claimed he could not recall ever meeting Giuffre. He later settled a lawsuit she filed against him.
Most of the prominent names that appear in the documents are already associated in some way with Epstein; for allegations of wrongdoing, for having worked for Epstein, flown on his planes, or visited his homes. Some were mentioned during Maxwell’s criminal trial in 2021. In some instances, the only appearances of the names are in potential witness lists or in proposed terms for searches of electronic records.
