The article details Jeffrey Epstein's activities in September 2013, highlighting connections to Norwegian figures like Terje Rød-Larsen, Thorbjørn Jagland, and Crown Princess Mette-Marit, all of whom have expressed regret for their associations with Epstein following the release of documents.
Between September 20 and 22, 2013, Jeffrey Epstein hosted a series of events in his New York apartment, which have gained renewed scrutiny with the release of a vast number of documents related to his activities. Norwegian news outlet VG reconstructed parts of these events based on hundreds of email exchanges found in the disclosed Epstein files, revealing significant connections to prominent Norwegian figures. Included in this group are former politicians Terje Rød-Larsen and Thorbjørn Jagland, as well as Crown Princess Mette-Marit, who have since apologized for their past ties with Epstein.
The responses from these Norwegian personalities reflect a broader recognition of their misjudgments, with Rød-Larsen's attorney stating that he is deeply remorseful, and Jagland admitting to poor judgment in his dealings with Epstein. Crown Princess Mette-Marit has reportedly extended her apologies to the King and Queen of Norway regarding her association with Epstein. Their reluctance to engage further with VG's inquiries regarding this matter highlights the sensitivity and complexity of their connections to Epstein, which have been underscored by the released documents.
The details uncovered in the documents from that September weekend in 2013 not only draw attention to the social and political networks that Epstein facilitated, but also bring to light the implications of such associations on the reputations of those involved. The ongoing fallout from these revelations may have lasting effects on the individuals mentioned, as well as on public perceptions of personal accountability among elites who maneuver within delicate social circles.
