The US 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 reported that flawed redactions in files released on Friday had 'turned upside down' the lives of nearly 100 survivors. The release included email addresses and nude photos, compromising the anonymity of potential victims. Survivors condemned this as 'outrageous' and stated they should not be subjected to further scrutiny and trauma. The DOJ admitted to technical or human errors leading to these disclosures and confirmed that all flagged files have been taken down for further redaction. Under the terms of a mandate from Congress which required the release of these documents, the DOJ must ensure that any details that could identify victims are redacted. In a plea to a federal judge following the release, victim lawyers described it as the most significant violation of victim privacy in US history, citing an emergency that necessitated immediate legal intervention. Victims commented on the seriousness of their situation, stressing the need for protection and a careful review of what was disclosed. The DOJ is currently investigating further requests for document removal and is working diligently to rectify the situation.
