At least six individuals who fell victim to Jeffrey Epstein have come forward to voice their dissatisfaction with the recent release of files by the Trump administration.

The Department of Justice unveiled 600,000 pages consisting of previously unseen images and documents connected to the disgraced financier on Friday.

However, the administration faces criticism for allegedly ignoring a mandate to disclose all pertinent information without excessive redaction, as many documents were heavily blacked out.

The DOJ conceded that the current batch of documents is not complete, acknowledging that additional images and files would be made available at an undisclosed future date.

This revelation has ignited outrage among Epstein’s accusers and victims, who have condemned the ‘lack of transparency’ surrounding the document release.

Marina Lacerda, who alleges she was sexually assaulted by Epstein starting at age 14, expressed her desire for more openness from the Justice Department and voiced her frustration over the incomplete release of files.

‘Just put out the files,’ she said. ‘And stop redacting names that don’t need to be redacted.’

She said she was skeptical of the administration saying it’s aiming to be transparent.

Marijke Chartouni, who claimed Epstein sexually abused her when she was 20, weighed in on Friday, noting: ‘If everything is redacted, where is the transparency?’

Epstein accuser Lisa Phillips said she believed authorities behind the release on Friday were ‘protecting themselves, not the victims’

Marina Lacerda, one of the women who claims she survived sexual assault by Epstein beginning when she was 14 years old, said she wanted to see greater transparency from the Justice Department and expressed frustration that all the files aren’t out yet

‘In the beginning, they were calling us a hoax, right?’ she said.

‘Now they’re like, ”We believe you, we’re gonna release the files,” but yet you still haven’t released the files and it’s not even fully transparent.’

She said ‘so many of the photos’ which were released in huge data dumps were entirely ‘irrelevant’ to the case.

The extraordinary photos offered a behind-the-scenes glimpse of Epstein’s Manhattan lair and his depraved activities.

Lacerda was a key witness in the 2019 investigation which led to Epstein’s arrest and sex trafficking charges.

‘We have been let down,’ she said. ‘We waited for this day to bring these other men who have been protected to justice.’

Jess Michaels, one of Epstein’s earliest known victims, had similar concerns in a discussion with The New York Times. 

‘They are proving everything we have been saying about corruption and delayed justice,’ she said.

Annie Farmer, said she was relieved her sister’s allegations were proven true in the files released on Friday

‘What are they protecting? The coverup continues.’

Michaels accused Epstein of sexually assaulting her when she was a 22-year-old aspiring dancer in 1991.

She has been outspoken in campaigning for the release of all the files the Justice Department had collated over the years on Epstein and his co conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for her part in his sick crimes.

Marijke Chartouni, who claimed Epstein sexually abused her when she was 20, also weighed in on Friday, noting: ‘If everything is redacted, where is the transparency?’

Speaking to CNN, Epstein accuser Lisa Phillips said she believed authorities behind the release on Friday were ‘protecting themselves, not the victims.’

‘I feel like they have so much information to start connecting the dots and for survivors to get justice. But as you’re seeing, we just keep stalling.’

Phillips has maintained she was subjected to years of abuse by Epstein and his associates. 

One of the only victims who found any positives in Friday’s information was Maria Farmer, who was finally vindicated after years of maintaining she made a complaint about Epstein to the FBI years before they investigated him for his sex crimes.

Farmer’s revelations have long been met with silence by the FBI and contempt from critics who claimed she had fabricated the entire complaint.

But in among the trove of information on Friday was a complaint made to the FBI in 1996 by an unnamed woman who claimed Epstein stole photos and negatives she had produced of her 12-year-old and 16-year-old sisters for a personal art project.

The one-page report was taken years before an investigation was launched into allegations that Epstein was sexually abusing underage girls.

Farmer’s name is redacted in the file, but the handwritten report says she believed Epstein sold the photos. 

Farmer said Epstein had previously asked her to take photos of young girls at swimming pools.

‘I’ve waited 30 years,’ she told The New York Times on Friday. ‘I can’t believe it. They can’t call me a liar anymore.’ 

The complaint also says the woman reported being threatened by Epstein not to talk about the photos or ‘he will burn her house down.’

Farmer had fought for years for her complaint to be made public, and said she felt ‘vindicated’ by its release on Friday.

Critics have slammed the data dump, arguing the administration was expected to release every Epstein file with minimal redactions, and has failed to deliver

Her younger sister, Annie Farmer, said: ‘It’s a tremendous relief that she doesn’t have to continue to fight to prove her truth.’

Annie Farmer did, however, note that she was disappointed by the overall lack of transparency she saw within Friday’s release. 

Both Farmer sisters have openly spoken about their experiences with Epstein.

Maria Farmer claimed she was sexually assaulted by the duo, while Annie recalled being invited to Epstein’s ranch in New Mexico when she was 16.

She claimed Epstein climbed into bed with her one morning to ‘cuddle’ while she was there. 

While more than 13,000 files were released on Friday with hundreds of thousands of pages of content, other critics have complained the documents are not easily searchable and instead must be trawled through for information.

Former MAGA ally Marjorie Taylor Greene led Republican efforts demanding every single Epstein file be released to the public as an act of transparency.

She voiced her fury on Friday when it became clear that the Department of Justice had redacted huge swathes of information, including the names of high profile individuals featured in the documents.

‘The whole point was NOT to protect the ‘politically exposed individuals and government officials,’ Greene wrote on X in a scathing takedown of everyone involved.

‘That’s exactly what MAGA has always wanted, that’s what drain the swamp actually means.

‘It means expose them all, the rich powerful elites who are corrupt and commit crimes, NOT redact their names and protect them.’

She accused the administration of breaking the law by not releasing the information in full.
