Opinion
Earlier this week, we reported that the names of 177 high-profile associates of the late billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein are set to be made public in the early days of 2024. Now, the Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre is responding by mocking the “nervous” associates who are about to have their identities revealed.
‘Who’s On The Naughty List?’
“Finally we are hearing members of the US government senators about the need for transparency and a call to arms for accountability!!” she wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. “There’s going to be a lot of nervous ppl over Christmas and New Years, 170 to be exact, who’s on the naughty list?”
“This [wouldn’t] be possible without the Honourable Judge Preska,” Giuffre added, referring to Judge Loretta Preska, who ruled that the names must be made public.
Marsha Blackburn Sounds Off
Giuffre wrote this in response to Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) giving her thoughts on a Fox News report about the Epstein associates being named.
“I’m pleased that this court agrees with my calls for transparency and accountability on Epstein and his associates,” Blackburn wrote. “The American people deserve to know who participated in Epstein’s crimes.”
Blackburn has long been fighting to have the Epstein associates be publicly identified.
“It appears that bad actors within our government are going to great lengths to protect the pedophiles who took Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet,” she wrote on X earlier this month. “I will not stop working to reveal their identities. The American people deserve to know every name on that list.”
Backstory: Over 170 High-Profile Associates Of Jeffrey Epstein To Be Named Publicly After Judge’s Ruling
Judge Preska’s Ruling
This came after Daily Mail reported that Preska ruled that hundreds of court documents will be unsealed, exposing the names of 177 Epstein associates. While the release date is listed as January 1, the unsealing will likely actually happen the next day, since the first is a national holiday.
Judge Preska wrote “unsealed in full” next to the names of 177 Does who are known to be Epstein’s friends, recruiters, victims and others. She gave the Does fourteen days to object to their documents being unsealed to the public.
The documents pertain to a defamation case that was filed by Giuffre in New York against Epstein’s madam Ghislaine Maxwell. Giuffre had sued Maxwell for defamation back in 2016, and though the case was settled, the Miami Herald later sued to get the documents made public.

Epstein And Maxwell’s Fates
Epstein allegedly committed suicide in prison in August of 2019 while awaiting trial for various sex crimes. Many have questioned whether he really killed himself, however, as his death was awfully convenient for the countless powerful figures who were rumored to have ties to him. One of these famous figures is the former President Bill Clinton, who allegedly traveled on Epstein’s private jet multiple times and is rumored to have visited his private island.
Maxwell is currently serving a twenty year prison sentence in Florida after she was convicted in 2021 of child trafficking and other crimes connected to Epstein.
Giuffre has long been one of Epstein’s most vocal accusers. In the end, it’s impossible not to agree with her that it will be fascinating to see who is on the “naughty list” when it comes to Epstein.
