A Florida detective says in testimony that 30 women had spoken to him about "performing massage and work" there. Some were paid to bring their friends.

The court filings have been made public under order by a judge.

They are part of a lawsuit against Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's imprisoned former girlfriend.

She was jailed in 2022 for trafficking girls for Epstein and much of the material in this batch and the 900 pages unsealed on Wednesday had already come to light during her trial.
