The final unsealed documents in the 2015 lawsuit involving Jeffrey Epstein reveal additional high-profile individuals accused of sex trafficking.

In the latest development of the 2015 lawsuit between Virginia Giuffre and Ghislaine Maxwell, newly unsealed documents from a 2016 deposition have revealed accusations against several prominent figures. The 223-page filing, initially redacted and released in May 2022, now includes allegations against Bill Richardson, Marvin Minsky, Les Wexner, Jean-Luc Brunel, and Glenn Dubin.
Bill Richardson, a former Democratic governor of New Mexico and ambassador to the United Nations under President Clinton, who passed away in September, was among those named. Marvin Minsky, a renowned computer scientist at MIT who died in 2016, and Les Wexner, the founder of Limited Brands and former CEO of Victoria’s Secret, were also accused. Wexner has not been criminally charged and severed ties with Epstein in 2007. Giuffre claimed she had sexual encounters with Wexner, including a joint encounter with another victim, Sarah Kellen.
The judge later ordered Giuffre’s deposition to be re-filed with additional redactions, although the specific content to be redacted was not specified.
In the deposition, Giuffre also mentioned a “well-known prime minister,” whose name remains undisclosed, and reiterated her accusations against Alan Dershowitz, a prominent defense attorney. Dershowitz, who has repeatedly denied these allegations, expressed approval of the unsealing, stating, “Nobody’s name should be redacted. All the names should be out there.”
Giuffre’s transcript includes at least one more redacted name of an individual she accused of trafficking. She claimed former President Bill Clinton had witnessed the sexual abuse of minors and was aware of her association with Epstein. Clinton has consistently denied any wrongdoing, and his spokesperson recently contested claims of a close relationship with Epstein.
Giuffre also confirmed receiving $15,000 for an encounter with British Prince Andrew and an additional $160,000 for a photo of them together.
The unsealing process unveiled nearly 1,500 pages, including depositions from Maxwell, Giuffre, and Epstein accuser Sarah Ransome. In her deposition, Maxwell denied knowledge of Brunel’s alleged activities at Epstein’s properties, despite being photographed with him on Epstein’s plane and island. Brunel, like Epstein, died in jail awaiting trial.
The court has yet to decide on revealing the identities of two individuals who requested anonymity, citing potential danger if their names were made public.
Maxwell, convicted in a separate criminal case for sex trafficking Epstein’s victims, is serving a 20-year sentence and is appealing her conviction. She has also claimed to believe that Epstein was killed.
