A New York judge has started to reveal the names of individuals connected to Jeffrey Epstein from sealed court documents, following Epstein's 2019 suicide while awaiting sex crimes trial. The initial release covers 40 documents, totaling nearly 1,000 pages of testimonials that are expected to identify notable individuals. These people were previously referenced as John or Jane Does in a suit against Epstein's ex-partner, Ghislaine Maxwell, who is not accused of participating in Epstein's criminal activities.
