“The Justice Department exposed the names of dozens of Jeffrey Epstein’s victims, including many who haven’t shared their identities publicly or were minors when they were abused by the notorious sex offender,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“A review of 47 victims’ full names on Sunday found that 43 of them were left unredacted in files that were made public by the government on Friday, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis. Several women’s full names appeared more than 100 times in the files.”

“The Justice Department was required to redact all victims’ names prior to releasing the files.”

Golly Mr. Trump, I swear you told me to black out your name and all those other guys. I guess I just messed up again. I’ll do better next time.

As a parent I would be heard, loudly and raging at what happened to my child.
If they were just giving these scum their children for cash, they should never be allowed another breath.
And the kids that have been taken by the GQP from families, must be returned and found. Devos must be in a court. As well as ICE Barbie.
Maxwell is only one of many evil assholes.

All their names are redacted.


Perhaps now these women have been exposed (again) they should hire attorneys and sue the DOJ, and the current Sex Trafficker overlord trump and his wife.
