It has been over four years since Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide in his jail cell after being convicted on charges of sex trafficking.
It’s been two years since Epstein confidante Ghislaine Maxwell was sent to prison for her part in the sex trafficking ring.
Despite so much time passing between their arrests and today, no one famous outside of Prince Andrew has been strongly linked to the crimes committed by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
That, however, appears to be set to finally change.
According to DailyMail.com, Judge Loretta Preska ordered on Tuesday court documents to be released on January 1st or 2nd that will identify 177 individuals who were Epstein’s friends, recruiters and victims.
The documents were part of a defamation case brought by Prince Andrew’s accuser Virginia Roberts that was settled in June 2017.
They are expected to consist of depositions, emails, and other legal documents related to the case.
However, Judge Preska also gave 14 days for any person anonymously named in the files to object to their documents being made public.
DailyMail.com claims they have already been able to identify several of the “Does” mentioned in the documents.
Doe 5 is Carolyn Adriano, one of Epstein and Maxwell’s victims.
Doe 23 is Jean-Luc Brunel, a French model scout.
Doe 24 is Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz.
Doe 63 is Annie Farmer, one of the women who gave evidence at Maxwell’s trial. Doe 64 is Maria Farmer, Annie’s sister.
Doe 67 is one of the recruiters who was named during Maxwell’s trial.
Doe 154 is Haley Robson, one of Epstein’s victims who appeared in in the Netflix series Filthy Rich.
Doe 162 is Johanna Sjoberg, a victim who has made allegations against Prince Andrew.
Coincidentally, this past Sunday, a photo of Microsoft founder Bill Gates posing with one of Jeffrey Epstein’s accusers resurfaced in a lenghty article by the Wall Street Journal.
The photo was taken at Gates’ office in Seattle in March 2014 – six years after Epstein was convicted of procuring for prostitution a girl under the age of 18.
“In March 2014, Jeffrey Epstein took his private jet to Seattle to visit Bill Gates at his office,” the WSJ article reads. “Epstein brought along a Polish model he had met a few months earlier. Dressed in a long gray coat, she posed for a photo with the Microsoft co-founder. Epstein took the picture.”
Earlier this year, the Wall Street Journal published an article claiming Epstein threatened to expose an affair Bill Gates was having with a young Russian bridge player named Mila Antonova.
Reports around the time of Gates’ divorce suggested that his wife Melinda had been uncomfortable with Bill’s relationship with Epstein.
Gates has since stated that he regrets his association with Jeffrey Epstein.
