The names of more than 150 people associated with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein are expected to be made public in the coming days.
The disclosures may throw new light on the sex trafficking network directed by Epstein, who died in 2019, and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell.
A judge ordered the court documents in a lawsuit linked to Maxwell must be unsealed.
There are 187 different individuals known as John or Jane Doe in the court papers, and these will now be given their real names.
Judge Loretta Preska noted that many of the individuals named in the lawsuit have already been publicly identified by the media or in Maxwell’s criminal trial.
Some of the names on the list will remain sealed, including those belonging to child victims, the judge said in her ruling.
The former US president(Bill Clinton) is mentioned more than 50 times in the court documents, according to ABC News. But there is no implication of any illegality.
