Late last night, the fifth and last group of court documents related to billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein was published, writes the BBC. Among the 1,400 pages of records are statements from Epstein and his ex-girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell.
The latest revelations show that Epstein on more than a hundred occasions refused to answer questions from prosecutors, lawyers, including questions about the alleged blackmail of famous people.
The documents were released as part of a lawsuit filed by human trafficking victim Virginia Giuffre.
The lawsuit was filed in 2015 and closed in 2017. Maxwell was then sentenced to 20 years in prison for helping Epstein molest young girls.
Court records contain transcripts of Epstein’s statements from 2016 in which he repeatedly invoked his constitutional right to remain silent under the Fifth Amendment of the US Constitution.
During questioning, Virginia Giuffre’s lawyer asked Epstein if she had been told to file a “detailed report” about her alleged encounters with famous names like Britain’s Prince Andrew.
Her lawyer believed that Epstein intended to use this as “blackmail material”.
Epstein refused to answer any questions, repeating more than 500 times just the words “fifth amendment.
He even refused to answer the question if he knew his partner Ghislaine Maxwell.
