The release of the Epstein files containing unredacted names, birthdays, personal information, and nude images of victims is an absolute disgrace. Let’s be blunt: releasing naked images of victims—some of them minors—is re-distribution of sexual abuse. At best, it is a catastrophic violation of victims’ rights. At worst, it is child sexual abuse material. Someone approved this. Someone signed off. And someone should be held criminally accountable. What makes this even more obscene is the selective redaction. Victims were fully exposed, while powerful men—including Donald Trump—were protected, even in images that have already circulated publicly without redactions for years. So what was the priority here? Because it clearly wasn’t justice.It wasn’t transparency.And it sure as hell wasn’t protecting victims. This looks like a deliberate choice to punish survivors, re-circulate exploitative material, and shield perpetrators. If that wasn’t the intent, then the outcome still says everything about whose interests matter—and whose never have. I want to know:Who approved this release?Why were victims exposed while perpetrators were protected?And what will be done to hold those responsible accountable? Anything less than consequences confirms what too many survivors already believe: that this system exists to protect the powerful and sacrifice the abused. There are 268 days until the 2026 midterms.
