An alleged victim of late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein celebrated Wednesday after it was revealed that more than 170 people with ties to the accused sex trafficker will soon be exposed, calling the revelation an early Christmas gift.
Virginia Giuffre, who settled a $12 million lawsuit over allegations that Epstein sexually trafficked her to Prince Andrew, appeared to mock the dozens of associates and former employees whose names will be unearthed in a trove of court documents to be revealed in the next years. weeks.
“There will be a lot of nervous people over Christmas and New Year, 170 to be exact, who’s on the naughty list?” Giuffre wrote in X.
“Merry early Christmas,” Giuffre, 40, said in another tweet.
Manhattan federal Judge Loretta Preska on Monday ordered the release of long-sealed documents in a settled defamation lawsuit that Giuffre filed against the convicted pedophile’s mistress, Ghislaine Maxwell, in 2015.
According to the ruling, dozens of people, previously referred to as “Jane Does” or “John Does” in various court documents linked to the lawsuit, will likely be publicly identified when materials linked to them are “fully unsealed.” “

Although he gave yet-to-be-named people two weeks to appeal the decision, Preska noted that most of the names were already public in the form of media interviews and as a result of Maxwell’s trial.
Former President Bill Clinton and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates are just some of the prominent figures expected to appear in the report, after both were photographed with alleged victims of Epstein.
However, some parties will remain confidential, including those who were children when Epstein sexually abused them.
Giuffre, once described as the late financier’s “sex slave,” repeatedly thanked Preska for her ruling, calling her a “seeker of truth and doer of justice.”

The sexual abuse advocate reached a $12 million settlement with Prince Andrew in 2022 over allegations that he had sex with her three times when she was a teenager through Epstein’s extensive trafficking network.
The Duke of York, who was stripped of his military and royal titles, is likely to face fresh scrutiny if he appears in the mountain of documents despite his long proclamations of innocence in the debauched trade.
“Jeffrey Epstein is known to have trafficked countless girls for many years. “Prince Andrew regrets his association with Epstein and praises the bravery of Ms. Giuffre and other survivors in defending themselves and others,” read an unsigned letter from Prince Andrew at the time of the settlement.
Epstein took his own life in August 2019 in a federal lockup in Manhattan while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

He was accused of luring numerous underage girls to his homes under the pretext of giving them massages and then sexually abusing them.
Maxwell, 61, is serving a 20-year prison sentence after she was convicted in December 2021 of helping Epstein recruit and sexually abuse underage girls.
