Description

The list of some of the world's most rich and powerful people with ties to late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has lengthened, after the US government released millions of new files from its investigation into the disgraced financier. The latest drop of material on 30 January included three million pages, 180,000 images, 2,000 videos, and a number of household names like Richard Branson, Bill Gates and Elon Musk. There is no suggestion that appearing in the documents implies any wrongdoing. Many people who have featured in previous releases have denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein. Here is what we know so far and about the seismic impact they have had.

Why are we hearing the private details of the victims but nothing about the perpetrators??! This is disrespectful and hurtful to those who have already suffered so much and protective of the criminals! The public deserve to know the truth.

The family deserves justice for Virginia. She was brave enough to expose these devils - She should be here to see this.
