The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has removed thousands of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein from its website after victims said their identities had been compromised. Lawyers for Epstein's victims said flawed redactions in the files released on Friday had 'turned upside down' the lives of nearly 100 survivors. Email addresses and nude photos in which the names and faces of potential victims could be identified were included in the release. Survivors issued a statement calling the disclosure 'outrageous' and said they should not be 'named, scrutinized and retraumatized'. The DOJ stated it had taken down all flagged files and that mistakes were due to 'technical or human error'. In a letter submitted to a federal judge on Monday, the DOJ said: 'All documents requested by victims or counsel to be removed by yesterday evening have been removed for further redaction.' The department said it was continuing to examine new requests, as well as checking whether there are any other documents that may need further redaction. A 'substantial number' of documents independently identified have also been removed, it added. Under the terms of the release, mandated by Congress, the federal government was required to redact details that could identify victims. On Friday, two lawyers representing victims asked a federal judge in New York to order the DOJ to take down the website hosting the files, calling the release 'the single most egregious violation of victim privacy in one day in United States history'. Survivors like Annie Farmer conveyed the sorrow and damage the DOJ's release inflicted, overshadowing the critical information that surfaced from the released files. Many expressed their dissatisfaction with the DOJ’s handling, leading them to feel as though their fight for justice continues amid ongoing threats and trauma.
