Nineteen unsealed documents from a lawsuit connected to Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted pedophile who died in jail before he could face trial on federal sex-trafficking charges, were publicly released on Thursday. This is the second batch stemming from a December 18 court order from the judge overseeing the lawsuit, a response to media’s legal efforts to publicly release the documents. The documents on Thursday night total more than 300 pages. Thursday’s release follows hundreds of pages of documents unsealed on Wednesday, with more expected in the coming weeks. The documents in total, including material yet to be unsealed, are expected to include nearly 200 names, including some of Epstein’s accusers, prominent businesspeople, politicians and potentially more. CNN is now reviewing the documents. Being named in the unsealed documents does not necessarily mean someone was accused of or committed wrongdoing, though.

The incident presents a massive hurdle for the Times as the newspaper looks to leverage the new suite of offerings to woo back old subscribers and win over new ones.
