Jeffrey Epstein Case: Over 1,000 People Connected to Him in Address Book
One unidentified man asked a judge not to release his name and those of others, fearing damage to their reputations.

A trove of sealed court records names hundreds of people who are connected to Jeffrey Epstein, and one unnamed man has already asked a judge not to release his name or the names of others accused in the documents of wrongdoing, arguing it could unfairly damage their reputations.
The anonymous motion seeking to keep the records sealed underscored the sordid nature of the allegations against Mr. Epstein and the fear of people in his social circles that their standing could be harmed by any links to him.
Mr. Epstein killed himself in a federal jail cell last month while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges in Manhattan, but he left behind questions about who else might have been implicated in the alleged abuse.
“There are hundreds of other people implicated in dockets,” Jeffrey S. Pagliuca, an attorney involved in the litigation, said on Wednesday during a hearing about releasing the records, in Federal District Court in Manhattan. “There are a lot of people, your honor.”
He said the people are named in 29 depositions, voluminous investigatory records and an “address book” that includes over 1,000 names.
