More names of high-profile figures are surfacing after the latest release of millions of documents related to the late US sex offender
A fresh cache of files released on Friday related to the investigation into the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein contains documents that refer to numerous high-profile figures.
Here are key details about some of the others mentioned, none of whom has been accused of wrongdoing:
Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates
In a draft email among the documents, Epstein alleged Bill Gates had engaged in extramarital affairs.
Epstein wrote in the email that his relationship with Gates had ranged from “helping Bill to get drugs, in order to deal with consequences of sex with russian girls, to facilitating his illicit trysts, with married women”.
The Gates Foundation, in a statement to The New York Times, denied the allegations of affairs.
Virgin boss Richard Branson
Files show friendly relations between the two billionaires.
