Convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell won’t be protecting the men who are allegedly a part of Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking scheme.
On Wednesday, Maxwell told a federal judge that she wouldn’t cover up the names of the eight men involved in Epstein’s years-long sex trafficking operation, ABC 7 and CNN report. One of the accusers in the case claims the men sexually abused minor girls from 1994 to 2004.
“After careful review of the detailed objections submitted by Non-Party Does 17, 53, 54, 55, 73, 93, and 151, counsel for Ghislaine Maxwell writes to inform the Court that she does not wish to further address those objections,” Maxwell’s lawyer, Laura Menninger, wrote in the letter to Judge Loretta Preska on Wednesday, The Independent reports.
In the 2015 civil lawsuit, the men are named “John Does” by accuser Virginia Giuffre. She names Prince Andrew as one of the Johns. Maxwell’s letter comes the same day that a judge allowed Giuffre’s case against Andrew to continue forward.
Maxwell’s had been pushing back for some time until Thursday, when they seemed to have given up on keeping the men’s names on the low. So far, no well-known names outside of Prince Andrew have been mentioned.
