Virginia Giuffre, now an adult, testified in court documents that were made public for the first time Friday. Senator George Mitchell and asset manager Glenn Dubin, she testified in court documents that were made public for the first time Friday β allegations the three deny. Virginia Giuffre, now an adult, says she was also sent to modeling executive Jean Luc Brunel and the late MIT scientist Marvin Minsky, according to parts of a deposition she gave.
Both men have strenuously denied those allegations. Epstein, a convicted sex offender, faces new federal criminal charges of sexually trafficking minors. But their appearance in the newly public papers adds to the list of those who could be tarnished by their apparent association with him.
Mitchell said the allegation in the released documents is false. In a statement, he said he never met, spoke with or had contact with Giuffre, or knew of or suspected that Epstein had inappropriate conduct with underage girls. A person answering the phones at his modeling agency declined to connect a Bloomberg reporter with him. She believes a reckoning of inevitable accountability has begun.
In her civil lawsuit, Giuffre, a Floridian, claimed Epstein sexually abused her for two years starting in , when she was Giuffre claimed that Maxwell, daughter of the late British publisher Robert Maxwell, defamed her by publicly calling her a liar.
That case settled, with a judge sealing about 2, pages of documents. The appeals court on Friday upheld its previous order to unseal those documents. Some that were made public immediately included emails, photographs and flight logs. Others will undergo further court review to determine what else can be released.
