The latest batch of court documents from the 2015 lawsuit involving Virginia Giuffre, the person who accused Jeffrey Epstein, and Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell have been made available to the public. These documents shed light on claims of sex trafficking that are associated with several well-known individuals. In her 2016 deposition, Giuffre listed Bill Richardson, Marvin Minsky, and Les Wexner among the individuals she said were complicit in her trafficking.
Bill Richardson, a former Democratic governor of New Mexico and ambassador to the UN for President Clinton, passed away in September. Marvin Minsky, the famed computer scientist at MIT, died in 2016. Les Wexner, the man behind Limited Brands and the former CEO of Victoria’s Secret, is not charged and had previously declared his divorce from Epstein in 2007. Giuffre claims that during one of these meetings, Wexner had sex with Sarah Kellen, one of Epstein’s other victims.
In the deposition, Glenn Dubin—who has refuted prior accusations against him—and Jean-Luc Brunel—who passed away in a French jail while he was awaiting trial for sex trafficking—were also mentioned. After first redacting the deposition, it was resubmitted with the updated redactions.
Giuffre’s account also mentioned a “well-known prime minister” and defense attorney Alan Dershowitz. Dershowitz has angrily denied these allegations. Giuffre had sued him in court, but after Giuffre publicly acknowledged that he had misidentified Dershowitz, the cases were eventually dropped.
With the release of these documents, which reveal the extent of the alleged sex trafficking network and the involvement of well-known individuals, the Epstein case has reached a significant turning point. The final disclosure, which spanned approximately 1,500 pages and contained a deposition deemed “highly confidential” from 2017, comprised the depositions of Maxwell, Giuffre, and Sarah Ransome, the person who initially accused Epstein.
In a related criminal case, Maxwell was found guilty of trafficking Epstein’s victims and was given a 20-year sentence. She is currently appealing this conviction. The disclosure of these documents offers a thorough examination of the allegations and connections in the Epstein case, shedding more light on the specifics of this well-known legal drama.
