Unredacted images and videos showing nudity released in the Epstein files have been online for days despite US officials being warned about failures in redaction, which lawyers say has caused victims “irreparable” harm.
The files seen by BBC Verify are among thousands of documents lawyers say they have discovered that contain identifying information about dozens of Epstein’s victims.
Victims groups first spoke out about the issue at the weekend when the New York Times reported nearly 40 separate images had been published as part of the Epstein files on Friday.
On Tuesday, a New York judge said the Department of Justice (DoJ) had agreed to quickly fix the issue after victims called for the website to be shut down until names and images could be properly redacted.
The DoJ removed thousands of documents from its website, stating that the files had been uploaded due to “technical or human error”. The department said it was continuing to examine new requests, as well as checking whether there were any other documents that might need further redaction.
Yet they were so strict in redacting the names of everyone involved that actually commited any crimes. So strict, in fact, that they accidentally redacted the word “don’t.” I’m just speculating here, but “don’t” and “Don T” are a little too close for it to be just a coincidence in my opinion.

For an AI blasting through it all that’s some identical shit right there.

I mean, this is working as intended. They don’t want the victims coming forward.
I’m furious on behalf of the survivors. This was preventable, and the fallout will be lifelong for many. If the government wants to be trusted with sensitive evidence, it has to actually earn that trust.
