Prince Andrew's links with paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein are set to come under further scrutiny with the release of hundreds of files from a defamation case in the New Year.
US Judge Loretta Preska has ruled that documents relating to more than 170 people who were either associates, friends or victims of the multi-millionaire sex offender should be made public. They are currently referred to only as J.Doe.
They include 40 documents of evidence from Johanna Sjoberg, who has claimed Prince Andrew touched her breast while sitting on a couch inside the US billionaire's Manhattan apartment in 2001.

Writing on X, Ms Giuffre said: '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 not) be possible without the Honourable Judge Preska.'
The individuals who are set to be named in the documents will have 14 days to appeal against the judge's decision - meaning they could be released in early January.
Ms Giuffre settled her civil claim against Maxwell, but representatives of the media have since argued documents that were sealed as part of the case should be made public.
