Prince Andrew sex accuser Virginia Giuffre taunts ‘there’s going to be a lot of nervous people…who’s on the naughty list?’ after judge rules 170 people linked to Jeffrey Epstein can be named in court
- Names of Epstein associates and victims can be released in January, a judge said
Prince Andrew’s accuser Virginia Giuffre has welcomed a judge’s ruling that 170 people linked to Jeffrey Epstein are set to be unmasked, as she taunted his associates by asking ‘who’s on the naughty list?’
It comes after DailyMail.com revealed that dozens of Epstein‘s high profile associates can be named in court documents set to be released in the first days of 2024.
Giuffre, nee Roberts, who claims she was trafficked by Epstein and had sex with Prince Andrew aged 17, was triumphant in her bid to get a dossier containing the names of the disgraced financier’s associates and victims unsealed.
The 40-year-old took to X to celebrate the ruling today, writing: ‘Dozens of Jeffrey Epstein associates, victims likely to publicly ID’d in court docs in coming weeks.’ She added her thanks to the judge who made the ruling, calling her ‘a truth seeker & justice maker.’
With the release date set for January 1, a holiday in the US, the names are set to be disclosed at the start of 2024, with Giuffre adding excitedly: ‘There’s going to be a lot of nervous ppl over Christmas and New Years.’

The Duke of York, who reached an out of court settlement with Giuffre in 2022, paying out £12million, could be among those facing fresh scrutiny if named in the documents.
Unless the ruling is appealed, new light will be shed on Epstein’s sex trafficking operation and his network of influence from January 1.
Judge Loretta Preska wrote ‘unsealed in full’ next to the names of 177 ‘Does’ who are Epstein’s friends, recruiters and victims.
The material is related to a defamation case brought by Prince Andrew’s accuser Virginia Roberts in New York against Epstein’s madam Ghislaine Maxwell.
Giuffre sued Maxwell for defamation in 2016 and while the case was settled, The Miami Herald – which published a bombshell expose of Epstein that led to his arrest in 2019 – sued to get the documents made public.
Some of the Does are identified in the ruling through links to interviews they have given to the media, which the judge cited as a reason why they should not stay private.
They include the housekeepers on Epstein’s private island in the Caribbean where some of the worst abuse that he perpetrated was carried out.
In her ruling Judge Preska gave 14 days for any Does who objected to their documents being made public to object, after which they would be unsealed.
Among the documents could be details regarding another of Prince Andrew’s accusers, Johanna Sjoberg, who claims he fondled her breasts at Epstein’s New York mansion.
There will also be material about Haley Robson, who was named as a recruiter in police files of Epstein’s original investigation in 2006 in Palm Beach – though she has more recently claimed she was a victim too.
The filing suggests some documents will relate to Jean-Luc Brunel, a French model scout who was close to Epstein and allegedly abused many young women. Brunel hanged himself in a Paris prison cell in 2022 while awaiting trial on a slew of sex charges.

A judge has ruled to unseal documents that would name 177 Does who are Epstein’s friends, recruiters and victims within the coming weeks
The documents in the case have been released on a rolling basis since 2019 when the first batch were made public days before Epstein also hanged himself in prison while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
Among the revelations in previous batches of documents were emails between Andrew and Epstein in 2015 when Roberts made allegations about him.
The batch of 177 Does is the final group and includes many who were notified by the court but did not object to documents with their name on them being made public.
The material is likely to include depositions, emails, legal documents and other material not previously made public.
