Jeffrey Epstein: Prince Andrew And Bill Clinton Named In Court Files
The UK’s Prince Andrew and Bill Clinton are among high-profile figures named in US court papers detailing connections of late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The newly-released records form part of a case against Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s girlfriend who has been jailed for helping him abuse girls.
But the documents so far unveil no major new allegations about Epstein nor revelations about his associates.
Prince Andrew is accused of groping a woman, which he denies.
Other names in the documents include singer Michael Jackson and magician David Copperfield, though no wrongdoing is alleged.
Mr Clinton appears in a number of the documents. The former US president has acknowledged being a former associate of Epstein but has strongly denied he had any knowledge of his crimes.
The first files from the much-hyped trove – covering about 900 pages – were released on Wednesday, after an order by New York Judge Loretta Preska, who acknowledged many of those named had already been identified by the media or in Maxwell’s criminal trial.
