An alleged victim of pedophile Jeffrey Epstein celebrated Wednesday after it was revealed that more than 170 people with ties to the accused sex trafficker will soon be exposed — calling the revelations an early Christmas present.
Virginia Giuffre – who settled a $12 million lawsuit over allegations Epstein sex-trafficked her to Prince Andrew – appeared to poke fun at dozens of associates and former employees whose names will be redacted in a batch of court documents to be unsealed in the coming weeks.
“There’s going to be a lot of nervous people over Christmas and New Years, 170 to be exact, who’s on the naughty list?” Giuffre write on X.
“Merry early Christmas,” Giuffre, 40, said in another tweet.
Manhattan federal judge Loretta Preska on Monday ordered the release of long-sealed documents in a defamation lawsuit Giuffre settled against convicted pedophile Ghislaine Maxwell in 2015.
Under the ruling, dozens of individuals — who have previously been referred to as “Jane Does” or “John Does” in various court filings linked to the suit — may be publicly identified when materials tied to them are “fully released.” .”

Although he gave the unnamed individuals two weeks to appeal the decision, Preska insisted that most of the names were already public in the form of media interviews and the results of Maxwell’s trial.
Former President Bill Clinton and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates are just some of the prominent figures expected to appear in the report — after both were filmed with Epstein’s alleged victims.
Some parts will remain confidential, however, including people who were children when they were sexually abused by Epstein.
Giuffre — once described as the late financier’s “sex slave” — repeatedly thanked Preska for his decision, calling him a “truth seeker & justice maker”.

Sexual abuse advocates reached a $12 million settlement with Prince Andrew in 2022 over allegations she had sex with him three times when he was a teenager through Epstein’s extensive web of trafficking.
The Duke of York – who was stripped of his military and royal titles – could face re-examination if named in a mountain of documents despite his long-standing declarations of innocence in the unsavory trade.
“It is known that Jeffrey Epstein trafficked countless young girls over the years. Prince Andrew regrets his association with Epstein, and commends Ms. Giuffre and other survivors for their courage in standing up for themselves and others,” an unsigned letter from Prince Andrew said at the time of the settlement.
Epstein killed himself in August 2019 in a federal lockup in Manhattan as he awaited trial on sex-trafficking charges.
