New Epstein files reveal he may have trafficked girls to others despite official denials

Allegations prompt questions about officials’ contentions that there isn’t evidence to investigate third parties

Some newly released documents contain allegations that Epstein provided victims to other men. Documents released in prior disclosures, as well as court documents, also point to others’ possible criminal involvement with Epstein and his accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell.

One accuser said that Maxwell told her that Epstein had to leave his house but that there was a friend staying who she could massage. During this encounter, this associate allegedly offered her money if she engaged in sex.

The woman alleged that she did so and that this friend paid her money. A “prosecution memorandum” dated 26 January 2021 and signed by assistant US attorneys from the southern district of New York described this encounter and said that when the woman’s lawyers showed her a photo of the disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, she identified him as this man. The names of the US attorneys are redacted.

It’s not clear to what extent authorities investigated these allegations. Weinstein was never charged for any conduct related to Epstein.
