Final release of Jeffrey Epstein files looms as court rereleases photos from stricken island


About seven more Jeffrey Epstein documents are still expected to be unsealed Tuesday, nearly a week after a federal judge in New York ordered the unmasking of dozens of Jane and John Does related to the disgraced financier and sex trafficker.

The court also republished a damaged document containing images of young women and girls with Epstein and his convicted accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, on his private island, a day after they were removed from the public record due to redaction errors.

“The Clerk of Court is directed to delete entry 1332-7 from the above-mentioned case file because it contains inadvertently revealed images that should have been redacted,” Judge Loretta Presak wrote in an order Monday night. “The lawyer will resubmit the voided document as soon as possible.”

The photos, according to the court filing, show Epstein’s accuser Sarah Ransome, model-turned-pilot Nadia Marcinkova, Maxwell, Epstein and “several women” on Little St. James Island in 2006. One image also shows to Jean-Luc Brunel, a big name in the world of French modeling who, like Epstein, died in prison awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

The documents were previously sealed or redacted as part of a 2015 lawsuit between Virginia Giuffre, a victim of Epstein, and Maxwell, the disgraced financier’s longtime girlfriend and madam who was convicted in federal court for her role in helping to attract girls and young women into their orbit. They have revealed previously redacted names, but have not included a long-awaited “client list” or implicated any new figures in Epstein’s intense trafficking operation.

Epstein surrounded himself with “masseuses,” but the term “massage” within his sphere of influence was a code word for sex, according to Ransome, one of his victims whose claims have been questioned after documents revealed she made explosives and without foundation. She made accusations against prominent men such as former Presidents Clinton and Trump, but she later retracted them.

Ransome, however, provided the photographs, which place Maxwell on Epstein’s Little St. James Island during a period of time when she claimed under oath that she was “barely present.”
