In the first week of the year, true crime enthusiasts, celebrity watchers and conspiracy theorists were abuzz as they anticipated the release of hundreds of pages of court documents revealing previously redacted bold-faced names associated with disgraced financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Social media users speculated that the documents would unmask a ‘list’ of potential Epstein clients.
Epstein, known for socialising with celebrities, politicians, billionaires and royalty, served time in 2005 after he was accused of paying a 14-year-old girl for sex.
