List of Jeffrey Epstein's associates named in lawsuit must be unsealed, judge rules. Here are details on the document release.

A U.S. federal judge ruled on Monday that a list of Jeffrey Epstein's alleged victims and associates —some of whom have been accused of being involved in the disgraced financier's exploitation and abuse of underage girls— must be unsealed and made public.

More than 150 names may be made public as part of a settled civil lawsuit against British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell —who was found guilty of conspiring with Epstein to sexually abuse underage girls for at least a decade— brought by Virginia Giuffre, who accused Maxwell of recruiting her to be a sex-slave.

Giuffre has called Maxwell "the mastermind" behind Eptein's sex trafficking ring.
