Britain’s Prince Andrew is reportedly experiencing great distress after a U.S. federal judge ordered the unsealing and public release of Jeffrey Epstein’s “client list” in the upcoming year. As previously reported by Slay News, numerous influential individuals associated with Epstein are feeling extremely anxious following U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska’s ruling just before Christmas, which stated that the documents would be made available in January. The unsealing of these documents will expose the identities of 180 individuals connected to the disgraced late sex trafficker.
These documents are expected to reveal the previously concealed names of over 180 people who are in some way linked to Epstein’s sex trafficking operation. Among the redacted names are associates, victims, investigators, and journalists who covered the case. Prince Andrew is anticipated to be among those listed, alongside a “former president,” as reported by Slay News.
According to the Daily Mail, Prince Andrew is said to be enduring immense mental anguish as he prepares for the scandal surrounding his association with pedophile Epstein to resurface in the New Year. The Mail on Sunday has discovered that Andrew’s name will be published alongside numerous influential acquaintances of Epstein when the court documents are released.
Some individuals on the list have not been publicly identified before. The thought of once again facing intense scrutiny regarding his friendship with Epstein is said to have deeply saddened Andrew during the Christmas period. It is reported that he spent the holidays with his brother King Charles and other members of the Royal family.
“Andrew’s name is in there,” one source reportedly told the outlet.
“He is beside himself with this latest development and everyone close to him is concerned for his mental wellbeing.
“He is at a loss, totally tormented.
“He is facing his second Christmas without his mother and now the New Year is going to start with his name being dragged through the mud all over again.”
Judge Preska recently issued a ruling stating that the documents pertaining to Epstein will be made public in early January. These documents are a crucial part of a defamation case brought against Ghislaine Maxwell by Andrew’s accuser, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, back in 2015. Maxwell, a British socialite, has already been convicted and imprisoned for her involvement in supplying Epstein and his influential associates with underage girls.
However, the identities of those individuals to whom the victims were trafficked were initially withheld by prosecutors. Although the Virginia Roberts Giuffre case was eventually settled out of court, the Miami Herald fought successfully to have the documents released to the public.
The first batch of documents was made public in 2019, shortly before Epstein’s untimely death in a New York jail while facing charges of child sex trafficking. According to sources, the upcoming documents will reveal the names of Wall Street bankers, business leaders, as well as prominent politicians and academics.
