Another batch of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein has been released showing the infamous pedophile and liberal philanthropist surrounded by young girls in his compound on the Virgin Islands, Fox News reports.
Photos circa 2006 show Epstein and his madame Ghislaine Maxwell surrounded by girls, playfully rolling around in pajamas on a couch and posing for the camera in skimpy attire. Another picture shows Epstein embracing his masseuse Sarah Kellen outside his private jet, while a fourth portrays alleged accomplice Nadia Marcinkova in a pilot uniform and sitting at the jet’s controls.
Some of the documents in the batch reveal email exchanges circa 2016 between Epstein victim Sarah Ransome and Daily Mail columnist Maureen Callahan where Ransome alleges she had been sent footage of her friend having sex with President Bill Clinton and billionaire Virgin Airlines founder Richard Branson. However, the footage could not be shared with Callahan without her friend’s permission, she wrote at the time, eventually backing away from Callahan altogether. Ransome had also mentioned former President Donald Trump prior to retracting her allegations.
“I want to walk away from this,” wrote Ransome. “I shouldn’t have contacted you and I’m sorry I wasted your time. It’s not worth coming forward and I will never be heard anyhow and only bad things will happen as a consequence of me going public.”
“This will just create pain for my family and I and they have already helped me pick up the pieces once before. I can’t ask them to do that again.”
Ransome is at the center of the latest disclosures in a civil case brought by fellow Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre against Maxwell, who is currently serving 20 years after being convicted of aiding and abetting Epstein in the abuse of hundreds of young girls for more than three decades. Attorneys for Giuffre wrote that the documents prove beyond a doubt that Maxwell’s testimony about her involvement was filled with flat-out lies.
“Ms. Ransome’s testimony proves that what little Defendant did say during her deposition was far from the truth,” Giuffre’s lawyers wrote.
Following the case, which was settled in 2017, attorneys for Maxwell attempted to force Giuffre to return confidential documents obtained in discovery, many of which are now publicly available thanks to her continued publicity around the case.
According to Giuffre, the latest batch of documents details how Maxwell, Marcinkova, and other accomplices used the term “massage” to indicate sexual relations with Epstein and his powerful friends.
“That’s like a key word for sex,” Ransome told investigators, according to a transcript of her deposition. “So as soon as you stop having sex with Jeffrey and his friends and his girls, you’re out, because otherwise there’s no reason for you to be associated with Jeffrey, because you’re just there to have sex with him…”
Last year U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska ordered the unsealing of hundreds of associates of Epstein but gave individuals two weeks to petition the redaction of their names. Attorneys for Giuffre unsealed 191 documents last week and another 17 on Monday out of an estimated 240 total.
While the inclusion of their names does not indicate wrongdoing, it has created headaches for the likes of President Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, former President Donald Trump, and celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio, Chris Tucker, and attorney Alan Dershowitz. The blanket denials are flying now with no sign of slowing down as the disclosures by Giuffre and her lawyers are expected to keep coming.
