The full release of more than 170 names mentioned in court documents from a civil lawsuit involving Jeffrey Epstein has been postponed until later this month, RadarOnline.com can report.
The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York confirmed that not all of the documents will be made public until at least January 22 on Wednesday morning.
The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York confirmed that the documents will not be made public until at least January 22.
According to NewsNation, the delay came after a judge granted a 30-day extension for a "Jane Doe" so the court could consider her appeal to remain confidential in the bombshell court documents.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, the highly anticipated documents are part of a settled civil lawsuit filed by Virginia Roberts Giuffre against Epstein confidante Ghislaine Maxwell in 2015.
Giuffre alleged that Epstein and Maxwell “pressured her” to engage in sexual relationships with powerful men – including Prince Andrew – when she was still only a teenager.
U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska initially ordered the documents to be unsealed on January 1 following a ruling last month.
The delay came after a judge granted a 30-day extension for a "Jane Doe" so the court could consider her appeal to remain confidential in the bombshell court documents.
Nearly 200 names were set to be exposed in the bombshell document drop initially scheduled for this week – allegedly including Prince Andrew, former U.S. President Bill Clinton, and several other high-profile individuals.
Janet Johnson, a criminal defense attorney, recently claimed that the people named in the documents are unlikely to face prosecution if they haven't already done so in connection to the Epstein case.
Johnson also noted that the names were initially kept secret to protect individuals who had not been found guilty of any wrongdoing from public backlash.
“These names were actually kept secret because the judge found that because they did not do anything wrong, there wasn’t any reason at that point to release them and embarrass them,” Johnson told NewsNation earlier this week.

Clinton, who is reportedly identified as "Doe 36" in the documents, was allegedly mentioned in at least 50 of the hundreds of previously redacted and sealed filings.
