NEW YORK (AP) — Almost 200 previously sealed court documents related to Jeffrey Epstein have now been made public in connection to a years-old lawsuit involving the late financier. The records released as of Friday are likely to disappoint sleuths online, where the plan to release documents prompted rumors of a list of “clients” or “co-conspirators.” The records largely mention figures whose names were already known, including high-profile friends of Epstein’s and victims who have spoken publicly. Still, the documents do include some fresh details about the financier’s sexual abuse of teenage girls, and offer a reminder of how he leveraged his powerful connections to recruit his victims and help cover up his crimes.
