Weinstein said he will seek review by the California Supreme Court, while prosecutors declined to comment pending review.

New Epstein Files Hint at Third-Party Involvement in Sex Trafficking

Newly released Epstein documents suggest other powerful men may have been involved in his sex abuse operations, including allegations that Epstein provided victims to associates such as Harvey Weinstein, Leon Black, and Jean-Luc Brunel. The disclosures show FBI and prosecutors acknowledging possible third-party participation while also noting that some claims are inconsistent and that no charges have been brought against these individuals; victims’ lawyers say the files point to a broader trafficking network and ongoing questions about how thoroughly authorities investigated these connections.
