Lawyers for survivors of Jeffrey Epstein say more than 100 women had their names made public when the Department of Justice released more than 3.5 million pages of documents Friday. A federal judge will hear their complaints on Wednesday.
Judge Richard Berman is urging the parties to work in good faith but holding a hearing because he says he recognizes the concern and the urgency of the issues.
The DOJ blamed various factors, including technical and human error, but lawyers and survivors alike say they believe this is an unfolding emergency. They say there have been thousands of instances where victims' identities were publicized. This includes full names, email addresses, home addresses, bank information and unredacted photographs. Nearly a third of the names left unredacted were minors.
In a scathing five-page letter, survivor lawyers say there's no conceivable degree of institutional incompetence to explain the scale, consistency and persistence of the failures that occurred. They call it the single most egregious violation of victim privacy in one day in United States history.
