"The latest release of documents related to the US Justice Department investigation into the crimes of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has set off political infernos around the globe for featuring the names of world leaders. The tranche of files, which includes more than three million pages of documents, was released on Friday. This is the largest release since US President Donald Trump's administration passed a law last year to force the release of the documents."
"With this latest disclosure of documents and emails linked to the cases against him, yet more has been revealed about the disgraced financier's sexual abuse of young girls and his interactions with wealthy and powerful figures from the United Kingdom, Australia, Norway, Slovakia and India. Simply being named in Epstein documents or emails does not mean a person is guilty of criminal wrongdoing, and, so far, no charges have been brought against individuals named in connection with the sex offender."
A tranche exceeding three million pages of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein was released, driven by a law passed to compel disclosure. Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to sex offences and avoided federal charges through a prosecutorial deal, receiving an 18-month sentence with extensive work-release privileges and probation after 13 months. He was arrested again in 2019 on sex‑trafficking charges and died by suicide in a Manhattan jail cell before trial. The newly disclosed files reveal further allegations of sexual abuse of young girls and communications between Epstein and wealthy, high‑profile figures across multiple countries, though naming does not equal criminal guilt.
