Sigrid McCawley, managing partner at Boies Schiller Flexner and longtime lawyer representing Epstein survivors, released the following statement: “It is without question that a significant piece of Epstein and Maxwell’s vast sex trafficking operation was to provide young women and girls to other wealthy and powerful individuals. This practice gave Epstein and Maxwell control and power over individuals who were implicated in the sex trafficking. Those who find themselves entangled in the mire of newly released information, no doubt, will play the deny and distance card, but that doesn’t change the fact that this is exactly how the sex trafficking operation worked.” Jennifer Freeman, lawyer for Maria Farmer, said: “The DOJ’s handling of the Epstein files has been a mess from the start, filled with missed deadlines and ham-fisted redactions, while exposing the identities of survivors. This fight isn’t over – we won’t allow the federal government to simply dump a couple million documents and wash their hands of one of the largest law enforcement failures in U.S. history. At this point, we have more questions than answers. Where is the rest of Maria Farmer’s FBI file? Where are the records of complaints that so many other women made to FBI and how the FBI investigated those complaints? And why is the DOJ hiding the names of perpetrators while exposing survivors?” Spencer Kuvin of Goldlaw, who has also represented many of Epstein’s victims, said the following: “We know for certain from direct testimony of victims that Epstein provided girls to other famous and notable people. Usually these were favors with the hope that he would get something in return from these people. The recent documents only confirm what the victims have been saying all along. The absence of a formal ‘client list’ is not the same thing as proof that no third parties participated.” Share
