Terrifying: 300 Pages of Documents Exclusively Provided by a Victim of Jeffrey Epstein — How Could Something This Horrifying Ever Happen?

“Once again, survivors are having their names and identifying information exposed while the men who abused us remain hidden and protected,” wrote the group

Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein are speaking out against the Justice Department’s recent release of more documents tied to the disgraced financier, calling the disclosure incomplete, retraumatizing and deeply unfair to victims.

In a joint statement, the group said that even though the release is being framed as transparency, some of the documents reveal survivors’ names and identifying details, even as alleged abusers and enablers remain shielded from public scrutiny.

“Once again, survivors are having their names and identifying information exposed, while the men who abused us remain hidden and protected,” the statement reads. “That is outrageous.”

The survivors claim the continued secrecy surrounding Epstein’s network represents a systemic failure, particularly given the number of women who have come forward over the years.

The statement specifically references the late Virginia Roberts Giuffre, noting that she reported numerous abusers connected to Epstein, while hundreds of additional women have since made similar allegations.

“The scale of this failure is staggering and indefensible,” the statement reads.

The criticism comes as the U.S. Department of Justice acknowledged that it collected far more material than it has released.

During the document collection process, U.S. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said the department intentionally erred on the side of overcollection, identifying approximately 6 million pages as “potentially responsive” under the law.

“The number of responsive pages is significantly smaller than the total number of pages initially collected,” Blanche said. “We’re releasing more than 3 million pages today, and not the 6 million pages that we collected.”

That explanation has drawn sharp criticism from Democrats on the House Oversight Committee, who are demanding the full release of all collected materials.

Rep. Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the panel, called the situation “outrageous and incredibly concerning,” saying the DOJ could be withholding roughly half of the Epstein-related documents while claiming to have complied with the law.

Survivors echoed that concern in their statement, claiming the Justice Department cannot credibly claim the process is complete until all legally required documents are released and every abuser and enabler is fully exposed.

The group is now calling for direct answers from U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is scheduled to appear before the House Judiciary Committee on Feb. 11.

“Survivors deserve answers, and the public deserves the truth,” the statement reads. “This is not over.”

The survivors emphasized that their demands are not political, urging lawmakers from both parties to stand with victims in pressing for the full release of Epstein-related files and accountability for those involved.
