New Epstein files reveal he may have trafficked girls to others despite official denials

AI Summary

long article 5 min

Newly released files related to Jeffrey Epstein suggest the involvement of other men in his sexual abuse crimes, despite previous official contentions. The documents, totaling over 3 million, contain allegations that Epstein provided victims to others. One accuser claims Ghislaine Maxwell directed her to massage a friend of Epstein's, who she alleges was Harvey Weinstein, and that he paid her for sex. An FBI presentation also references an allegation that Epstein told an accuser to massage Weinstein, who then allegedly pressured her to remove her shirt. The presentation lists Leon Black under a "PROMINENT NAMES" heading. It is unclear the extent to which authorities investigated these allegations, and neither Weinstein nor Black have been charged in connection to Epstein.
