An official with the Manhattan federal court said he expects the unsealing of documents to begin Wednesday. For years, the names of many of Epstein’s accusers and associates had been redacted in court documents, referred to only as a John Doe or Jane Doe. But last month, a federal judge in New York ordered the documents to be released with nearly 200 names unredacted. While there may not be a bombshell in the documents, any new details about Epstein’s activities could provide fodder for further lawsuits. Leon Black, co-founder of private equity company Apollo Global Management, has denied allegations in court documents of raping underage girls at Epstein’s New York home.
