Virginia Giuffre has expressed her excitement at the possibility potential conspirators of convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein could be named.
Virginia Giuffre, who settled a $12 million lawsuit over allegations Jeffrey Epstein sex-trafficked her to Prince Andrew, took to social media to taunt people who may be about to be exposed.
She called the idea that those with ties to Epstein could be revealed an 'early Christmas present'.

The names of 170 ex-employees and victims of Epstein are expected to be unsealed in court documents over the coming weeks.
On Monday (December 18), Manhattan federal Judge Loretta Preska ordered the release of the long-sealed documents in Giuffree’s lawsuit against Ghislaine Maxwell, back in 2015.
Maxwell, is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence after she was convicted in December 2021 of helping Epstein recruit, and abuse underage girls.
In her X post, Giuffre praised senator Marsha Blackburn who welcomed the decision to reveal the 170 names.
Giuffre wrote: “Finally we are hearing members of the US government senators about the need for transparency and a call to arms for accountability!!
“There’s going to be a lot of nervous ppl over Christmas and New Years, 170 to be exact, who’s on the naughty list? This would t be possible without the Honourable Judge Preska."
Judge Preska has now set a date for 1 January 2024 for dozens more pages to be released to the public.
This will give men and women, who have previously been referred to as Jane and John Does, two weeks to file an appeal to keep their names private.
Some of the victims will remain unnamed due to the serious nature of the crimes committed against them, according to CNN, and some are due to them being minors at the time of the offences.
In 2019, Epstein had been arrested and placed in prison charged with offences including federal charges of sex trafficking minors.
He was found dead in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City, having died by suicide by hanging, according to the city’s medical examiner.
Since his death, multiple conspiracy theories have circulated the internet, given that he was known to have ties to powerful and political people all over the world.
The US Justice Department watchdog ruled that Epstein’s death was the result of 'negligence and misconduct' by officers at a New York federal prison.
