The Jeffrey Epstein saga keeps on creating drama, even years after the disgraced pedophile businessman killed himself in Prison. Now, with the public release of certain formerly sealed court documents, people like Bill Clinton are expected to be outed as someone who was involved in some of Epstein’s more nefarious activities.
Bill Clinton is said to have been named in court documents, until now, only as John Doe number 36. But U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska ruled recently that there was no longer any need to keep such people’s identities secret.
ABC News reported that the now 77 year old former President was named in a 2015 civil suit related to the rape of Virginia Giuffre who accused Jeffrey Epstein’s friend Ghislaine Maxwell of facilitating his sexual assaults. Maxwell is now serving a long-term jail sentence.

But Bill Clinton is not expected to be named in any criminal activities, nor to himself be charged in any way. But he will certainly see his reputation – and his legacy – stained depending on what exactly is said about him in the soon to be unsealed files.
There are 177 different people listed in these files who until now have only been known as either a “John” or a “Jane” Doe with a number attached.
Many prominent people have been named in recent years among those of sexually abused women related to Epstein. England’s Prince Andrew was accused of abusing Virginia Giuffre.
Even the former Prime Minister of Israel Ehud Barak has been caught up in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, but he has not been accused of any wrongdoing related to sexual abuse.
Born in Brooklyn, New York in 1953, Jeffrey Epstein began teaching math and physics at the Dalton School despite lacking a college degree. After leaving the school, he entered the banking and finance sector, working at Bear Stearns before starting his own firm in 1982. Epstein amassed significant wealth and cultivated a social circle that included prominent figures in academia, finance, politics, and entertainment.
In 2008, Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution from a minor in Florida and served 13 months in jail as part of a controversial plea deal. He was re-arrested in July 2019 on federal charges of sex trafficking and conspiracy to engage in sex trafficking involving minors. Epstein died by suicide in his jail cell on August 10, 2019, before facing trial.
