Several victims of Jeffrey Epstein expressed shock, outrage, and disappointment after the release of thousands of files related to the late paedophile financier on Friday. The files were heavily redacted, with many pages completely blacked out, leading victims to feel that the release was incomplete and lacking in transparency. The Department of Justice (DoJ) suggested that 1,200 victims and their families had effectively been shielded from view in the released documents. Victims and their lawyers criticized the release, calling it a 'cover-up' and demanding that all files be made public.
