Since the supposed suicide death of child trafficker Jeffrey Epstein four years ago, the release of documents detailing his associates have long been anticipated.
The so-called Epstein Files began to be disclosed on Wednesday, with a first batch of papers followed yesterday on Thursday, January 4.
A man roped in to help drive potential young victims to Jeffrey Epstein’s Palm Beach, Fla. mansion claimed the late pedophile would personally cough up $200 cash for every teen girl he dropped off, according to newly unsealed court documents.
The claim, included in the third batch of previously sealed files released Friday afternoon, was made in a 2016 deposition given by Tony Figueroa as he described how he dropped young girls at the property.
The FBI is facing fresh calls to release hundreds of ‘missing’ pieces of evidence raided from Jeffrey Epstein’s $51 million New York townhouse following the release of a new list of his associates.
Among the items said to be missing are tapes, CDs, passports and pictures all located inside a safe within the property during a siege on the home in July 2019, shortly after Epstein was arrested.
It comes as speculation continues to swirl that Epstein was working as an agent for Israeli intelligence agency Mossad prior to his suicide while awaiting trial for child sex offences.
A second batch of court papers linked to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein shows how dozens of girls were recruited at his beachfront mansion.
A Florida detective says in testimony that 30 women had spoken to him about “performing massage and work” there. Some were paid to bring their friends.
The court filings have been made public under order by a judge.
They are part of a lawsuit against Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s imprisoned former girlfriend.
She was jailed in 2022 for trafficking girls for Epstein and much of the material in this batch and the 900 pages unsealed on Wednesday had already come to light during her trial.
The release of US court documents accusing Prince Andrew of taking part in an ‘underage orgy’ on Jeffrey Epstein’s Caribbean island and groping the ‘boobs’ of an alleged sex slave ends any hope he has of returning to royal duties, experts told MailOnline today.
The Duke of York has been again dragged into the sex scandal surrounding his paedophile friend, just over a year after he settled the multi-million dollar case brought by Virginia Giuffre in 2022.
As well as being accused of ‘acts of sexual abuse’, documents released in New York overnight claim that Andrew would call Epstein weekly and jetted to his private Caribbean retreat, nicknamed the ‘Island of Sin’.
Was this all a Honey-Trap operation? Someone knows.
Bill Clinton was described in newly-unsealed court documents as ‘a key person’ in the lives of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, who enjoyed a ‘close relationship with the pair’.
The former president, now 77, has long insisted that his connections to Epstein were on a professional basis, to aid the work of the Clinton Foundation. He insisted in 2019 that during his four trips on Epstein’s private jet, in 2002 and 2003, he was always accompanied by a retinue of staff and Secret Service agents.
But court documents from June 2016 – part of a defamation suit filed against Maxwell by one of Epstein’s victims, Virginia Roberts – paint a different picture, after another document saw Epstein accuse Clinton of ‘liking them young.’

A long list of people associated with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is 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.
The disgraced millionaire mixed with high-profile figures from the worlds of politics, business and royalty.
A judge ordered the court documents in a lawsuit linked to Maxwell must be unsealed.
Nearly 20 years ago, Hank Idsinga was part of a downtown detective division. The Toronto police officer had considered himself a hotshot investigator – but then he was promoted into the homicide squad.
He soon found that, compared with his previous work probing crimes, proving suspects culpable in court for fatal shootings and stabbings to the satisfaction of senior detectives, and then lawyers, and then judges and juries, was like a different world.
Critics are accusing the DOJ of sweeping additional charges against FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried under the rug, after prosecutors said he would not face a second trial for campaign finance violations following his conviction last month.
In a letter filed on Friday night in federal court in Manhattan, prosecutors said the ‘strong public interest’ in a prompt resolution of the case outweighed the benefits of a second trial.
In his letter to the court, US Attorney Damian Williams noted that prosecutors introduced evidence about all of the dropped charges during Bankman-Fried’s monthlong first trial, where he was found guilty on all counts.
Smash-and-grab crime crippled retailers in Democratic-controlled cities across the United States throughout 2023.
Also known as “flash mob” robberies, smash-and-grabs are defined as criminal actions conducted after “breaking a window of a car, store, etc., and stealing whatever can be taken quickly.”
Copper may no longer be used to make Canadian coins, but thieves who target the valuable metal still cost British Columbians a pretty penny.
The rose-coloured hardware is found in electrical wiring, transformers and pipes, and can be sold for anywhere from $2 to $4 per pound — making homes, construction sites and public infrastructure a prime target for thieves.
The safety risks theft carries were made painfully clear earlier this year, when RCMP said theft-weakened copper gas lines in downtown Prince George caused an explosion that sent three people to hospital, one of whom sustained severe burns all over her body.
FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried, who was found guilty of fraud by stealing from his customers, will not face a second trial.
Prosecutors told a US federal court that they do not intend to hold a second trial against Bankman-Fried as the evidence that would be presented during the second trial would be the same as already entered during the first one.
The 31-year-old billionaire’s sentencing is due in March and is likely to include orders of forfeiture and restitution for victims of his crimes.
If I read this correctly he will not face trial for the illegal campaign finance charges.
The ink was barely dry (so to speak) on “Way too many black kids, way too many crime guns“, my post about the shootings in Pinellas County, when I received a complaint from another useful idiot that I put too much emphasis on the blackitude of the perps and their victims. Why did I keep pointing that out, they cried. Why couldn’t I have been like Sheriff Bob Gualtieri, and used the word “black” (or “Black”, as the wokesters write it now) only once?
Be skeptical about media reports that rates of lawlessness are declining in cities.
Crime rates are falling, the mainstream press reports. Despite what it calls the “widespread national perception that law-breaking and violence are on the rise,” NBC News maintains that the opposite is true: “Americans believe crime rates are worsening, but they are mistaken.” A Washington Post column by Philip Bump echoes that assertion and opines, “This is not the narrative that has dominated on the right.” Bump adds, “Fox News coverage has consistently focused on crime in urban areas,” in part because the network’s “audience (understandably) associates cities with Democratic leadership, because cities are more heavily non-White.”
Canada’s homicide rate is at the highest level in 30 years, as police-reported crime continues to rise in the country, data shows.
For the fourth year in a row, the national homicide rate went up in 2022, according to Statistics Canada data released Wednesday.
The homicide rate, which is considered a key indicator of the state of violence in society, increased by nearly eight percent to 2.25 homicides per 100,000 population.
