A list of famous sports players named in the Epstein files has been revealed.
As per a collation of emails by the interactive site Jmail, many of the Epstein's communications have been made easy to access.
The list includes a number of royals, prime ministers, musicians, journalists, and other cultural icons.
A number of very high-profile people are named.
Alongside some of the biggest cultural names around, a number of sporting celebrities are also included within the files.
Now we must make it clear, that being named in these documents does not indicate any wrongdoing.
It also doesn't indicate that those named had a friendship with Epstein.
The names appear relating to different contexts ranging from business discussions and general social contact.
Amongst the sports stars included in the list are football legends Lionel Messi and David Beckham.
Now representatives of the same MLS outfit Inter Miami, Messi and Beckham are mentioned within the files as part of a discussion about the most admired and influential people in the world, of which both men are considered to rank highly.
Also mentioned in the "most admired" conversation is Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar.
Elsewhere in the files, American sports superstars Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan are both mentioned.
Woods is mentioned in in a mailing list email from Bloomberg while Jordan was mentioned in reference to Obama giving the basketball star a Presidential Medal of Freedom
Finally, former NFL player OJ Simpson is also mentioned within the files.
Of course the majority of mentions of famous people in Epstein's emails are simply just naming influential or trending people at the time.
Several individuals have already addressed their alleged links and denied any misconduct. Prince Andrew has repeatedly rejected the allegations made against him, and model Naomi Campbell has said she had no knowledge of Epstein’s criminal activities, explaining that she was introduced to him through mutual acquaintances.
Jeffrey Epstein, a billionaire with connections across politics, academia, and the celebrity world, was first arrested in Palm Beach, Florida, in 2005 after being accused of paying a 14-year-old girl for sex.
Dozens of other underage girls later came forward with similar accounts of abuse, but in 2008 prosecutors allowed Epstein to plead guilty to a single charge involving one victim. He served 13 months in a county jail on a work-release programme.
Here's the full list of Brits who have been named, as reported by the Mirror:
