A woman who alleged she had been sex-trafficked by the late Jeffrey Epstein chortled when news broke that the identities of 170 people connected with Epstein will be revealed.
Virginia Giuffre, who claimed she was forced to have sex with Prince Andrew when she was 17 at Epstein’s home, eventually settled a $12 million lawsuit with Prince Andrew. She reacted to Manhattan federal Judge Loretta Preska ordering the release of sealed documents from a defamation suit Giuffre filed in 2015 against Epstein’s madam, Ghislaine Maxwell.
“Finally we are hearing members of the US government senators about the need for transparency and a call to arms for accountability!! There’s going to be a lot of nervous ppl over Christmas and New Years, 170 to be exact, who’s on the naughty list? This wouldn’t be possible without the Honourable Judge Preska,” Guiffre tweeted, adding, “Merry early Christmas. Dozens of Jeffrey Epstein associates, victims likely to publicly ID’d in court docs in coming weeks — thank you and many blessings for Judge Preska. A truth seeker & justice maker.”

Preska gave the individuals who will be named two weeks to appeal the decision, adding that most of the names had already been made public.
“Former President Bill Clinton and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates are just some of the prominent figures anticipated to be featured in the report — after both were photographed with alleged Epstein victims,” The New York Post reported. In 2019, Clinton’s spokesman said, “President Clinton knows nothing about the terrible crimes Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to in Florida some years ago, or those with which he has been recently charged in New York,” adding, “In 2002 and 2003, President Clinton took a total of four trips on Jeffrey Epstein’s airplane: one to Europe, one to Asia, and two to Africa, which included stops in connection with the work of the Clinton Foundation. … He had one meeting with Epstein in his Harlem office in 2002, and around the same time made one brief visit to Epstein’s New York apartment with a staff member and his security detail.”
When she filed the lawsuit against Andrew, Guiffre stated, “I am holding Prince Andrew accountable for what he did to me. The powerful and rich are not exempt from being held responsible for their actions. I hope that other victims will see that it is possible not to live in silence and fear, but to reclaim one’s life by speaking out and demanding justice.”
“I did not come to this decision lightly,” she added. “As a mother and a wife, my family comes first — and I know that this action will subject me to further attacks by Prince Andrew and his surrogates — but I knew if I did not pursue this action, I would be letting them and victims everywhere down.”
