Court docs show MJ had connection to Epstein, who was accused of sex crimes.

Yesterday, a list of names associated with paedophile sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein was released. This comes after a judge ordered that more than 170 of the late financier's high-profile associates and victims be revealed in 2024.

The list contained some big names, such as Prince Andrew, Michael Jackson, Bill Clinton and Stephen Hawking. Epstein was found dead in his cell at a federal jail in Manhattan in August 2019 while he awaited trial on sex trafficking charges, and the death was ruled a suicide.

The unsealed court documents from Virginia Giuffre's defamation case against Epstein's madam Ghislaine Maxwell revealed an email from Epstein which said he was content for her to reward any of Virginia's friends to counter her claims that Professor Hawking 'participated in an underage orgy'.

One of the documents contained a deposition from Johanna Sjoberg where she claims Prince Andrew touched her breast while sitting on a couch inside Epstein's Manhattan apartment in 2001.

During the same interview, Sjoberg said that Epstein told her that former President Clinton 'likes them young, referring to girls'. She also said she saw Michael Jackson at the paedophile's Florida mansion, but did not massage the late singer.

The author of 2020 book Relentless Pursuit: My Fight for the Victims of Jeffrey Epstein, Brad Edwards, detailed a visit Jackson made to Epstein's house in Palm Beach. Edwards wrote, according to The Daily Beast: 'For a young woman like Johanna, the fact that there were stars who were friends with Jeffrey and Ghislaine was an attractive bonus of the job.'

Jackson passed away in 2009 and his estate was sued in two separate legal actions by Wade Robson and James Safechuck, amid claims that he sexually assaulted them when they were children.

The allegations were detailed in HBO's 2019 documentary, Leaving Neverland – while Jackson's estate has continued to deny the claims that he abused either of the men.

It is clear that the unsealing of these documents has revealed many startling connections between Jeffrey Epstein and the people he was associated with. There is still much to uncover and it remains to be seen what further evidence will be revealed in the near future.
