Description

The belief that the convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein maintained a client list first rose in popularity following his death, and re-gained prominence in 2025. This hypothesized list has formed part of conspiracy theories that Epstein used such a list to blackmail prominent and wealthy individuals as part of his international sex trafficking ring. The terms "Epstein list" and "Epstein files" also refer to the myriad court documents relating to Epstein, some of which have been publicly released. For example, court documents and flight logs have already named various prominent individuals as having travelled with Epstein, or been in contact with him.
