""Why [are] D*n*ld Tr*mp, Pam Bondi, and the Department of Justice protecting this person," asked TikToker Harry Sisson a few days ago, referring to the blacked-out address on an especially incriminating email citing a "fun night" with Epstein's "littlest girl." Since the start of the file rollout in late December, the DOJ has claimed that redactions are in place to help protect the privacy of Epstein's many victims."
"In a 2007 lawsuit, Cordero alleged that when was only 16 years old, she was assaulted and abused by Epstein. In 1999, according to Cordero, Epstein invited the young girl to his apartment after promising to help her secure a coveted modeling gig with Victoria's Secret. When she arrived, however, she was forced into s*x acts with Epstein. This abuse continued for two years, and Cordero came no closer to realizing her modeling dream."
DOJ redactions in the new Epstein files are presented as protecting victim privacy but leave gaps that shield powerful implicated individuals. Many graphic photos of unclothed victims remain unredacted while email addresses and client contacts are obscured, suggesting strategic choices that protect predators more than survivors. Observers pointed to a blacked-out address on an email describing a 'fun night' with Epstein's 'littlest girl' as an example. The practice of exposing survivors while protecting abusers dates back decades, exemplified by Ava Cordero's 2007 lawsuit alleging assault beginning at age 16 and repeated coercion into s*x acts that derailed her modeling prospects.
