New court files that have been released claim that Jeffrey Epstein told one of his accusers that former US President Bill Clinton "likes them young."

The shocking court filings, which are the result of a defamation action brought in 2015 against Epstein's business partner Ghislaine Maxwell, list 170 associates, including Clinton. Virginia Giuffre filed a lawsuit against Maxwell, claiming that she was the brains behind her claimed sexual assault at the hands of Epstein.

In 2017, the two managed to reach a settlement, although neither the details nor the conversations had in court were disclosed. One month after being ordered to be made public by Southern District of New York Judge Loretta Preskw, a plethora of case-related documents were made public on Wednesday.

Prince Andrew and former president Bill Clinton are among the more than 170 names that will be listed. A person's mention in the records does not imply that they are being charged with a crime.

The transcript of whistleblower Johanna Sjoberg's deposition, which contained multiple accusations of sexual misbehavior against Epstein, was contained within the 943 pages of papers. The documents state that Sjoberg said in court that Epstein informed her, in reference to girls, that Clinton "likes them young."

Additionally, Ghislaine refuted in the records that Clinton ever went to Epstein's island. She said: "The allegation that Clinton had a meal on Jeffrey's island is 100% false," before adding "I'm sure he had a meal on Jeffrey's plane." The documents contain Ghislaine's frantic email correspondence from 2015, the year Giuffre launched his case, in which she made references to both Prince Andrew and Clinton.

She said: "I can't even see what life after press hell even looks like. Statements that don't address all just lead to more questions. What is my relationship to Clinton? Andrew? On and on." After accusing Epstein and Maxwell of grooming and trafficking Giuffre for Prince Andrew, Giuffre gained notoriety.

She says that when she was 17 she had sex with Andrew. According to a transcript of Maxwell's deposition, Andrew only ever made one trip to Epstein's island.

She clarified that only female staff members were present during the prince's visit. Despite pictures of the three of them together, Maxwell also stated under oath that she "did not recall" traveling to London with Giuffre and Andrew. Giuffre filed a lawsuit against Prince Andrew in 2021, alleging emotional anguish and violence. The lawsuit was resolved in February of 2022. Despite the compensation, Andrew has consistently denied any wrongdoing and stated in 2019 that he had never met Giuffre.
