Twenty-five men reached “secret deals” with prosecutors, while another four were never charged, a late sex offender’s partner claims.
Twenty-nine of Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged accomplices and co-conspirators have avoided prosecution, most of them “secret settlements”, the disgraced partner of the financier and sex offender Ghislaine Maxwell claimed in court documents.
Several media outlets reported on Maxwell’s December 2025 filing on Thursday. On Friday, the US Department of Justice announced the release of a new batch of the so-called Epstein files.
Epstein was found dead in 2019 in his cell at the Manhattan Correctional Facility while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges. His death was ruled a suicide. Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for her role in the notorious sex-trafficking ring.
In court documents cited by the media, Maxwell asked the court to overturn her conviction, citing what she described as “new evidence of collusion between plaintiffs’ attorneys and the government to suppress evidence and prosecutorial misconduct.”
Epstein’s ex-partner claimed it “New evidence reveals there were 25 men with whom lawyers made collusions.
Epstein’s other four co-conspirators never faced charges, according to the filing.
It is unclear from Maxwell’s motion whether he alleges that the individuals in question also entered into similar agreements with federal authorities.
Asked by a reporter about Maxwell’s allegations on Friday, Assistant Attorney General Blanche had this to say “to the extent that such arrangements exist, I am not aware of them.”
Releases from the so-called Epstein files indicated that he was in contact with many prominent politicians and businessmen, including former US President Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, US President Donald Trump and former US Treasury Secretary Larry Summers.
During the campaign, Trump promised to release the “Epstein files,” but as president he has played down the issue, dismissing calls to release the documents as politically motivated. “hoaxes.”
Late last year, amid sustained public pressure, Trump ordered the Justice Department to release the first batch of heavily redacted documents related to Epstein.
