The Department of Justice left multiple unredacted photos of fully nude women or girls exposed as part of Friday\u2019s dump of more than 3.5 million pages of files related to the investigations and prosecutions of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislane Maxwell. Unlike the majority of the images in the released files, both the nudity and the faces of the people were not redacted, making them easy to identify. In some of the photos, the women or girls were either fully nude or partially undressed, posed for cameras, and exposed their genitals.\u00a0The files include more than 2,000 videos and 180,000 images, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said Friday in a press conference, including \u201clarge quantities of commercial pornography and images that were seized from Epstein\u2019s devices,\u201d some of which were taken by Epstein, according to Blanche.404 Media emailed the DOJ on Friday evening for comment after a reader found the exposed photos.\u00a0\u201cOur team is working around the clock to address any victim concerns, additional redactions of personally identifiable information, as well as any files that require further redactions under the Act, to include images of a sexual nature,\u201d a Department of Justice spokesperson told 404 Media in an email. \u201cOnce proper redactions have been made, any responsive documents will repopulate online. As stated on the website, and in public materials.\u00a0404 Media then sent the DOJ specific links to the images on the DOJ\u2019s website. The files stayed online for at least another full day, until Sunday evening, when they disappeared.Another file in the dump is a typed message from investigators, commenting on the content of three CDs found in Epstein\u2019s possession. Each CD is marked as \u201cPOSSIBLE CSAM,\u201d referring to child sexual abuse material.\u00a0\ud83d\udca1Do you have a tip to share? We would love to hear from you.

President Donald Trump signed the act into law on November 19, at which point Attorney General Pam Bondi had 30 days to release all of the files. On December 19, the DOJ released about 10,000 files, and on December 23 it released another 30,000.\u00a0The amount of information released and the unorganized way the government released has made it difficult to cover.Musk to Epstein: \u2018What Day\/Night Will Be the Wildest Party on Your Island?\u2019New emails show Musk has been lying about his relationship with Epstein.404 MediaJason Koebler\u201cIn view of the Congressional deadline, all reasonable efforts have been made to review and redact personal information pertaining to victims, other private individuals, and protect sensitive materials from disclosure,\u201d a notice from the DOJ says at the top of every page of files. \u201cThat said, because of the volume of information involved, this website may nevertheless contain information that inadvertently includes non-public personally identifiable information or other sensitive content, to include matters of a sexual nature.\u201d The Epstein Library also asks if visitors are over the age of 18 before entering the site.\u00a0If a member of the public \u201cidentifies any information that should not have been posted,\u201d the notice says, the DOJ asks them to notify them at EFTA@usdoj.gov \u201cso we can take steps to correct the problem as soon as possible.\u201d\u00a0On Sunday, the Wall Street Journal reported that the DOJ left 43 of 47 full names of Epstein and Maxwell\u2019s victims exposed in Friday\u2019s data.\u00a0\u00a0Podcast: The Epstein Email Dump Is a MessWe talk the terrible format of the latest Epstein dump; how a contractor is hiring randos on LinkedIn to physically track immigrants for $300; and a new code of conduct in the adult industry.404 MediaJoseph Cox\u201cWe are getting constant calls for victims because their names, despite them never coming forward, being completely unknown to the public, have all just been released for public consumption,\u201d victims\u2019 attorney Brad Edwards told ABC News. \u201cIt’s literally thousands of mistakes.\u201dAccording to the New York Times, a group of 18 survivors of Epstein\u2019s abuse said in a joint statement reacting to the release of data exposing their identities: \u201cOnce again, survivors are having their names and identifying information exposed, while the men who abused us remain hidden and protected.
