Ghislaine Maxwell claims 25 Jeffrey Epstein accomplices reached ‘secret settlements’ after abuse allegations: court papers
A group of 25 alleged accomplices of dead pedophile Jeffrey Epstein made “secret settlements” with accusers — while four alleged co-conspirators were never charged, Epstein’s convicted madam Ghislaine Maxwell revealed in court papers.
“New Evidence reveals that there were 25 men with which the plaintiff lawyers reached secret settlements – that could equally be considered as co-conspirators,” Maxwell wrote in December in the papers, filed without her lawyers, seeking to overturn her conviction.
The filing also claims that four of the notorious financier’s employees were mentioned in a non-prosecution agreement and in the sex-trafficking indictment Epstein faced before he killed himself in jail — but they were never charged

“None of these men have been prosecuted and none has been revealed to [Maxwell]; she would have called them as witnesses had she known,” Maxwell wrote.
The 63-year-old disgraced British socialite claimed this newly discovered evidence — coupled with the fact she allegedly had a biased jury — meant she didn’t get a fair trial.
“If the jury had heard of the new evidence of the collusion between the plaintiff’s lawyers and the government to conceal evidence and the prosecutorial misconduct, they would not have convicted,” she wrote.
The fact that there could still be unmasked accomplices of the prolific sex criminal raises questions about if and when those names will be revealed, given the legislature’s passing of the Epstein Files Transparency Act in November.
It is unclear whether the 25 men who reached “secret settlements” with plaintiff lawyers also reached deals with the feds, shielding them from prosecution.
However, to date, only Maxwell and Epstein have been charged in connection with Epstein’s depraved sex-trafficking network.
Others tied to Epstein have been sued for alleged sexual misconduct, including Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor — formerly known as Prince Andrew, Duke of York — who was accused by Virginia Giuffre of having sex with her when she was a minor. Andrew has denied those allegations.
The Department of Justice has said it has roped in some 400 of its lawyers, who are “working around the clock” to review records totaling as many as 5.2 million pages.
The feds must redact certain information, like victim names.
“It truly is an all-hands-on-deck approach and we’re asking as many lawyers as possible to commit their time to review the documents that remain,” Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch said in December. “Required redactions to protect victims take time but they will not stop these materials from being released.”
