When it comes to the disgusting details surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, the case is a VERY dark rabbit hole — and sometimes it seems like we may never reach the bottom of it.
After the billionaire pedophile’s suspicious demise, the next best hope at uncovering the truth and getting justice for his victims laid with his right-hand woman, Ghislaine Maxwell. Now that Epstein’s alleged accomplice has been arrested, the world has been waiting to see what big names she might expose from the clandestine pedophile ring.

On Thursday, documents from Maxwell’s defamation case against Virginia Giuffre, one of the few women to have publicly accused Epstein of abuse, were unsealed and made available to the public. These documents provided new insight into figures that had previously been implicated of misconduct through their association with Epstein, including Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, and Donald Trump’s favorite impeachment lawyer Alan Dershowitz.
Bill Clinton
Giuffre claimed to have traveled with former President Clinton, Maxwell, and two other “young girls” to Epstein’s private island in the 2000s. There, she says, Clinton stayed in Epstein’s private residence, a site where Giuffre alleged “orgies were a constant thing that took place.”
She told lawyers in 2011:
“I remember asking Jeffrey what’s Bill Clinton doing here kind of thing, and he laughed it off and said well he owes me a favor. He never told me what favors they were. I never knew. I didn’t know if he was serious. It was just a joke.”
A spokesperson for Clinton denied the allegation, saying that Hillary’s husband had “never been to Little St. James Island.” They added:
“He’d not spoken to Epstein in well over a decade, well before his terrible crimes came to light.”
Note the phrasing of “before his crimes came to light” — but not before he was committing them. Not sure we’re convinced by this denial. Clinton is well known to have traveled in Epstein’s private plane, so it’s not like he doesn’t have the billionaire pedophile’s stink on him. However, he has yet to be accused of any specific wrongdoing.
Prince Andrew
The documents also alleged that Guiffre, who says she was recruited by Maxwell at the age of 15 while working as a spa attendant at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago, resort — you know, nbd, just the second White House *barf* — was forced into helping Epstein blackmail his powerful cohort of predators, including Prince Andrew. One passage read:
“One such powerful individual Epstein forced Jane Doe #3 to have sexual relations with was a member of the British Royal Family, Prince Andrew… Epstein instructed Jane Doe #3 that she was to give the Prince whatever he demanded and required Jane Doe #3 to report back to him on the details of the sexual abuse.”
Andrew has already tried to clear his name after Guiffre’s accusations, and the attempt backfired terribly. (His denial infamously included the claim that he was “unable to sweat” at the time of the alleged incident.)
All these accused can attack Giuffre’s credibility all they want, but when it came down to it, Prince Andrew was the far less believable one.
Alan Dershowitz
Another of the accused who’s been throwing around denials left and right is Alan Dershowitz. The famed former Harvard Law professor has been tweeting furiously after the documents got out claiming he’d had sexual relations with Guiffre “on numerous occasions while she was a minor.”
In a differently disturbing claim, Epstein is said to have gone on to help negotiate Epstein’s “sweetheart deal” in 2008 that protected not only the billionaire, but any of his “potential co-conspirators” from prosecution! (Of which, if these documents are accurate, Dershowitz certainly is one… Crazy, right?)
One of the famed attorney’s more bizarre defenses has been to actually call for the release of the sex tapes that Epstein allegedly secretly filmed on his property of powerful figures having sex with minors. He told DailyMail.com:
“My greatest hope is that Maxwell has videotapes of every sexual encounter that ever took place because it would show I was not involved in any of them. I’ve said from day one that there were no photographs of me because I never did anything wrong. I never did anything that would be worthy of being videoed – but I hope there are videos. It would show my wife and me getting massages from middle-aged professional massage therapists.”
Look, we’re no Harvard lawyers, but even if sex tapes were to come out, and none were of him, it wouldn’t exactly be a total exoneration, right?
(If you sexually abuse a minor and no one is there to film it, did it still happen? Quite possibly!!!)

Maxwell had attempted to block the release of these recent documents, her legal team claiming that the content might prevent her from having a fair trial in her upcoming case. While some documents remain sealed, much of the material is now publicly available, including allegations against financier Glenn Dubin, model scout Jean Luc Brunel, and former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson (all of whom have denied any wrongdoing.)
All the information coming out around Epstein and Maxwell continues to be pretty damning. Unfortunately, we have a feeling that what’s in these documents is only the tip of the iceberg.
