The latest release of Jeffrey Epstein files on Monday revealed photos that appear to show girls or young women on his private island in 2006 – as well as his longtime madam and accomplice who denied being present during that period.
The judge overseeing the case later ordered the file containing the images to be stricken from the public docket and re-filed without them. The images showed young women or girls at Epstein’s island, Maxwell lounging about, Epstein, his friend and fellow suspected sex trafficker Jean-Luc Brunel and at least one of Epstein’s accusers.
“The Clerk of the Court is directed to strike docket entry 1332-7 in the above-captioned case because it contains inadvertently disclosed images that should have been redacted,” Judge Loretta Presak wrote in a Monday evening order. “Counsel shall re-file the stricken document as soon as is practicable.”
The documents were previously sealed or redacted as part of a 2015 lawsuit between Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre and Ghislaine Maxwell, the disgraced financier’s longtime girlfriend and madam who is now a convicted sex trafficker.
Maxwell has said she believes he was killed.
