Law firm representing alleged Epstein victims sends scathing letter over DOJ document release

When the House Oversight Committee released a trove of files and emails from the Epstein estate earlier this month, alleged victims of the convicted sex offender responded with "widespread panic" after learning the documents included dozens of unredacted victim names, prominent attorneys for Epstein victims told a federal judge this week.

"I thought the government had promised to redact our names and identifying material. I don't understand how this is happening again," one alleged victim told attorneys Bradley Edwards and Brittany Henderson, with the Edwards Henderson law firm, according to a court filing Wednesday.

"This type of negligence by the government to a survivor is just unable to comprehend. It is just impossible," another alleged victim said, according to the filing. "I don't understand how this is possible." "I have been unable to mentally and emotionally function or sleep," yet another alleged victim wrote, per the court filing.

With the Justice Department now facing a Dec. 19 deadline to release hundreds of thousands of Epstein files, as required by the Epstein Files Transparency Act, the Edwards Henderson attorneys are calling on a federal judge to order the DOJ to improve their review policy to prevent another release of potentially sensitive information about alleged victims.
