I’m guessing this could be almost as exciting as another wacky George Santos interview or another Rudy Giuliani lawsuit. Thanks to U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska, we’re about to get the names of 177 prominent upstanding citizens who liked having sex with children. That’s going to include politicians and robber barons. Maybe not all of them liked having sex with children. We’ll know more as early as January 2.
Daniel Bates reported that “Dozens of Jeffrey Epstein’s high profile associates are in for a New Year's surprise as they will be named in court documents set to be released in the first days of 2024.The pedophile's powerful friends are set to be exposed as part of a vast unsealing that a judge ordered on Monday will take place in 14 days… Some 177 people will be identified across hundreds of files which will shed new light on the late financier's sex trafficking operation and his network of influence… Epstein's friends, recruiters, victims and others.”
Some of the [John] Does are identified in the ruling through links to interviews they have given to the media, which the judge cited as a reason why they should not stay private.
They include the housekeepers on Epstein's private island in the Caribbean where some of the worst abuse that he perpetrated was carried out.
In her ruling Judge Preska gave 14 days for any Does who objected to their documents being made public to object, after which they would be unsealed.
There will be documents about one of Prince Andrew's accusers, who claims he fondled her breasts at Epstein's New York mansion.
There will also be material about Haley Robson, who was named as a recruiter in police files of Epstein's original investigation in 2006 in Palm Beach – though she has more recently claimed she was a victim too.
The filing suggests some documents will relate to Jean-Luc Brunel, a French model scout who was close to Epstein and allegedly abused many young women. Brunel hanged himself in a Paris prison cell in 2022 while awaiting trial on a slew of sex charges.
The documents in the case have been released on a rolling basis since 2019 when the first batch were made public days before Epstein also hanged himself in prison while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
Among the revelations in previous batches of documents were emails between Andrew and Epstein in 2015 when Roberts made allegations about him.
The batch of 177 Does is the final group and includes many who were notified by the court but did not object to documents with their name on them being made public.
The material is likely to include depositions, emails, legal documents and other material not previously made public.
Does three and four appear to be Miles and Cathy Alexander, a South African couple who managed Little St James, Epstein's private island in the Caribbean, for years.
Judge Preska cited a 2011 interview the couple gave to the Daily Mail as one of the reasons why their names should be made public
In the interview the couple claimed that it was not their place to 'judge' other people, even though they suspected some of the girls on the island were young.
Cathy described how the Duke of York arrived with a blonde brain surgeon in her 30s and that he urinated on her foot when she trod on a sea urchin.
…Other names include wealthy financier Glenn Dubin and now-deceased MIT scientist Marvin Minsky along with 'another prince' a 'foreign president', a 'well-known prime minister' and the owner of a 'large hotel chain' in France.
Politicians besides Bill Clinton and Trump? Members of Congress? Well, Tim Burchett, the far right nut from Tennessee who got sucker-punched by Kevin McCarthy a couple of weeks ago, jumped into the fray on Monday on Newsmax, “accusing colleagues of being ‘compromised’.” Crackpot Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) had tried to get the flight logs but “claimed Senate Democrats were behind her subpoena request not moving forward earlier this month.”
Burchett said “Too many of my colleagues, I'm afraid, are compromised in this area. For whatever reason, somebody's whispered in their ear, said, 'Hey, you don't want something to come out on something else. You better keep your mouth shut on this,' Burchett theorized. You see that up and down the line,” he said. “You see good conservatives vote for liberal policies, and frankly, you see some liberals, occasionally, that will vote for something else. So obviously, the Congress has been compromised, and this continues on through the White House, through the Justice Department. The trash can is very deep. It's not a swamp, it's an open sewer.”
Epstein's private plan was dubbed the "Lolita Express" and allegedly took Epstein's celebrity and high roller pals across the globe, including to an island with underage girls.
Epstein pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking charges in 2019. He was later found dead in his jail cell from suicide. The billionaire had already pleaded guilty to soliciting an underage prostitute in 2008.
Yes Bill Clinton was a frequent flyer on the Lolita Express. Shame on Bill.
I'm sure nazi voters will only worship trump with even more fervor if he is on the list. I'm sure they all expect him to be prominently listed.
