Epstein Files Released by DOJ Include Unredacted Victims' Names, Lawyers Say
The latest release of files related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein by the Department of Justice (DOJ) includes the unredacted names and identifying information of numerous victims, attorneys for hundreds of Epstein's survivors told ABC News on Friday. The release occurred despite assurances from the DOJ that such information would be protected.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche announced at a press briefing Friday that three million pages from the DOJ's files on Epstein were being made public, following the passage of the Epstein Files Transparency Act (EFTA), according to ABC News. The tranche includes 2,000 videos and 180,000 images related to the Epstein case, Blanche said.
ABC News confirmed numerous instances of victims' names appearing unredacted, including several women whose names have never before been publicly associated with the case.
Blanche stated that a total of 6 million documents were in the file, but not all documents would be released due to the presence of child sexual abuse material and victim rights obligations, ABC News reported.
