Some of Jeffrey Epstein’s victims reacted to the Justice Department’s release of thousands of files from the case investigation. But they questioned the lack of additional data and information they consider key.
“There’s a lot of information, but not as much as we would have liked to see,” said Dani Bensky, an Epstein survivor, in an interview.
They Lament the Suffering of Other Victims
The woman added that, despite this, the disclosure confirms the truthfulness of the victims’ allegations.
“There’s a part of me that feels somewhat validated right now. Because I think many of us have been saying: ‘No, this is real, we’re not a hoax,’” Bensky said.
Another survivor, María Farmer, who praised the inclusion of her child pornography complaint to the FBI in the released files, said she felt “redeemed” by the acknowledgment of her case.
“This is incredible. Thank you for believing me. I feel redeemed. This is one of the best days of my life,” she stated through her attorneys.
Farmer lamented that other victims, such as Virginia Giuffre, suffered because the FBI “didn’t do its job.”
More Files to Be Released
The woman also said she cried as much from joy over her own situation as from sadness for the other victims the federal investigation failed.
Many Democratic senators have criticized the files released by the Trump Administration, vowing legal action against Attorney General Pam Bondi for allegedly failing to comply with the law requiring the declassification of the files.
Meanwhile, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche warned that it won’t be possible to release all the documents required by law at once due to their volume, and he announced that the Justice Department plans to release “several hundred thousand more” files in the coming weeks.
The Justice Department released 52 court documents that were included in the judicial package, covering lawsuits in Florida and New York, from cases spanning 2008 to 2022. Photographs were also included.
