The federal court documents containing the names of people who were associated with the late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein were set to be unsealed on Wednesday in New York, with a few key exceptions.
According to a report published that same day by CNBC, Judge Loretta Preska ordered the unsealing in December, but granted a 30-day extension to at least two individuals named in the filing — some who were underage at the time that Epstein abused them and one of whom is a woman who has thus far only been identified as Doe 107.
Doe 107, according to the network, has claimed that she would be at “risk of physical harm in her home country” if her identity were to ever be revealed — and the judge has not yet finished reviewing her claim.
The documents in question were filed by Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein’s victims, pursuant to her lawsuit against the disgraced financier’s convicted accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell — whose sentence included two decades behind bars and a $750,000 fine — and are expected to name some 150 who were linked in some way to Epstein.
CNBC also noted that some of the people expected to be named as the documents are unsealed are already known to be Epstein’s associates — and that not everyone named in the documents has been accused of committing any crime or having knowledge of crimes committed by Epstein and others. The list is expected to include alleged perpetrators, alleged co-conspirators, and even potential victims.
Around 50 of Epstein’s associates’ names have already been revealed and include a number of powerful people in both money and politics. Among the most well-known are former Presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump — both of whom have denied participation in and knowledge of Epstein’s sex crimes.

Britain’s Prince Andrew — who has been stripped of the majority of his royal titles and privileges — is also a known associate and, though he also denied wrongdoing, previously settled a civil lawsuit filed by Giuffre.
