(...) Alan Dershowitz, who helped disgraced financier Epstein get a sweetheart plea deal, features prominently in the filings, which predate a lawsuit in which Giuffre alleged she was trafficked to him. She withdrew it in 2022, saying she “may have made a mistake in identifying him.” Dershowitz welcomed the release of the filings Wednesday.
Jean Luc Brunel, the former modeling agent and longtime Epstein associate who was found dead in a jail cell in France in 2022 while facing charges — which he denied — over his alleged participation in the sex trafficking of minors, appears in several of the documents.
Context: Last month, Preska ordered most of the material within 187 entries listed under the pseudonym “J. Doe” be released after Jan. 1. in regard to the suit.
Between the lines: The court issued an order earlier on Wednesday extending the anonymity of two of the Does.
Doe 107 has until Jan. 22 to submit support that revealing her name would bring her physical harm.
Doe 110’s inquiry is under review by the court.
