In the latest twist of the long-standing legal saga surrounding Jeffrey Epstein, the unsealing of the final set of documents in a 2015 lawsuit between accuser Virginia Giuffre and Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell has sent shockwaves through the corridors of power. The 223-page filing, previously redacted, now exposes explosive allegations against prominent figures.
In a 2016 deposition, Giuffre accused Bill Richardson, the late former Democratic governor of New Mexico, along with Marvin Minsky, a distinguished computer scientist from MIT who passed away in 2016, and Les Wexner, the founder of Limited Brands, and former CEO of Victoria’s Secret, of participating in the sex trafficking network. Giuffre also implicated the late Jean-Luc Brunel, a French modeling agent who faced sex trafficking charges before his death in a French jail.
The unsealed documents, which include the “highly confidential” deposition of another Epstein accuser, Sarah Ransome, paint a damning picture of the intricate web of Epstein’s operations. In one filing, Maxwell denied awareness of Brunel’s alleged activities despite appearing alongside him in incriminating photographs.
Adding another layer of intrigue, Giuffre’s deposition alleges she was sex trafficked to an unnamed “well-known prime minister,” whose identity remains undisclosed. Alan Dershowitz, a prominent criminal defense attorney, is once again mentioned in the documents, as Giuffre reiterates her accusations against him.
However, it’s worth noting that Giuffre and Dershowitz previously sued each other, and the cases were dropped with Giuffre acknowledging a mistake in identifying Dershowitz.
The unsealing includes nearly 1,500 pages, shedding light on the dark corners of Epstein’s world. The revelations come as Maxwell serves a 20-year sentence for her role in sex trafficking Epstein’s victims. While she appeals her conviction, the unsealed documents may hold implications for ongoing investigations and further legal proceedings.
Epstein’s mysterious death in federal custody in 2019 continues to raise questions, with a Justice Department investigation citing negligence by the U.S. Bureau of Prisons. Maxwell has suggested Epstein was killed, deepening the intrigue surrounding one of the most scandalous cases of our time. The fallout from these unsealed documents may only be the beginning, as the shadows of Epstein’s sordid dealings cast a long and troubling legacy.
