What documents and witness statements did Virginia Giuffre include in her civil filings?

1. The core: Giuffre’s sworn deposition transcript and exhibits

The centerpiece of the civil record was Virginia Giuffre’s January 2015 deposition transcript and its attached exhibits, which were filed in the defamation case and later produced in unsealed tranches; the deposition document itself appears in document repositories as an 89‑page transcript and exhibit set (DocumentCloud and Newsweek file copies) and was cited repeatedly in motions and unsealing requests ^{[1] [2] [4]}. Court dockets and newsroom packetings make clear the deposition was treated as a judicial document central to the dispute over whether Maxwell’s public statements were defamatory ^{[5] [6]}.

2. Other witness statements and deposition excerpts disclosed in discovery

Giuffre’s filings included excerpts of other witnesses’ depositions—both fact witnesses and individuals referenced by the parties—some of which were among the materials media outlets highlighted when parts of the case were unsealed; press accounts and the unsealed bundles specifically reference deposition excerpts that mention Maxwell’s interactions and third‑party names ^{[3] [7]}. The publicly released materials therefore consisted not only of Giuffre’s own sworn testimony but also of testimonial fragments from people whose statements were relied on in briefs and discovery disputes ^{[3] [7]}.

3. Motions, briefs and discovery pleadings: the procedural papers that framed the evidence

Giuffre’s civil filings encompassed a range of procedural documents—motions to compel production, responses and replies about privilege claims, and papers seeking public access to sealed material—which documented both requests for specific documents and the parties’ legal positions about confidentiality; the CourtListener docket and filed briefs record motion practice over disclosure and sealing ^{[5] [6]}. Those pleadings themselves often quoted or attached the contested statements and exhibits, making them part of the court file and the source of many later public disclosures ^{[4] [6]}.

4. Lists of individuals, initial disclosures and the “names list” that drew public attention

Among the items in the filings were disclosure lists and other discovery designations that named individuals alleged to have relevant information or connections to Epstein and Maxwell; defense initial disclosures and other court filings identified a set of potentially discoverable persons and, when portions of the record were unsealed, reporters highlighted lists that linked associates to Epstein ^{[8] [3]}. News organizations and public‑interest groups successfully moved to unseal many of these documents, which is why newspapers reported that the civil filings contained names that had been previously sealed ^{[3] [4]}.

5. Limits of the available reporting and alternative perspectives

Public sources document what was in the court file that has been unsealed—depositions, exhibits, motions and disclosure lists—but do not provide a neatly packaged, exhaustive inventory of every exhibit or every page of testimony still under seal; reporting and archived PDFs show significant material released while other items remained redacted or withheld, and courts later litigated precisely which portions should remain private ^{[4] [9]}. Defense filings and Maxwell’s denials and privilege assertions are part of the record as well, and readers should note that the released documents were unearthed through litigation over sealing and access, which means selection, redaction, and procedural posture shaped what ultimately entered the public domain ^{[9] [5]}.
