DOZENS of previously sealed court documents related to sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein have been made public, with one victim testimony revealing that former US President Bill Clinton “likes them young.”

The first 40 documents of around 250 expected to eventually be unsealed were released on Wednesday evening from a years-old lawsuit connected to the late financier.

Names of prominent figures including Mr Clinton, former US president Donald Trump, magician David Copperfield, late musician Michael Jackson and British royal Andrew Windsor are mentioned in the legal proceedings as part of a lawsuit against Epstein’s collaborator Ghislaine Maxwell.

The naming and association do not necessarily mean they have been accused of any wrongdoing.

The defamation lawsuit was brought by victim Virginia Giuffre, one of Ms Maxwell’s accusers, and at the time the names were kept secret under a court-ordered seal.

But last month a judge in New York ruled these could now be revealed.

In total, Mr Clinton’s name appears at least 73 times in the 40 documents.

Victim Johanna Sjoberg said during a sworn testimony that Epstein “said one time that Clinton likes them young, referring to girls.”

When asked if she knew if the former president was a friend of Epstein, she said: “I knew he had dealings with Bill Clinton.

“I did not know they were friends until I read the Vanity Fair article about them going to Africa together.”

But Ms Sjoberg testified that she never met Mr Clinton.

Flight logs have previously revealed that Mr Clinton flew on Epstein’s private jet in 2002 and 2003 to destinations outside the Caribbean.

Ms Giuffre has claimed she once met Mr Clinton on Epstein’s Caribbean island.

His spokesperson told CNN that it has now “been nearly 20 years since president Clinton last had contact with Epstein” and denied that the former president ever had any knowledge of Epstein’s crimes.
