Among them are people who previously did not realize their public status or were underage at the time the crimes were committed. Such conclusions come from the archive of documents from the late financier\u2019s case, which journalists for Popular Magazine studied in detail.<\/p>\n<p>Although the DOJ was obliged to conceal all the victims\u2019 names before publishing the materials, the full names of several women appeared in the documents more than a hundred times. The files also include over 20 names of underage victims. A keyword search on the department\u2019s official site allows finding personal data and home addresses of some victims.<\/p>\n<p>After publication of the documents with the exposed data, victims reported facing online bullying. An analysis of editorial mistakes points to odd gaps: in 2008 prosecutors discussed a list of victims where ten names were redacted, and one name in the middle of the list remained unredacted. Another 2016 document contains a long list of women identified as Epstein\u2019s victims, but only one name was redacted, while the rest were public.<\/p>\n<p>In 2014, during an exchange between a victim and a male scout from a modeling agency who recruited her into Epstein\u2019s network, the scout\u2019s email address was redacted, while the victim\u2019s address was left visible. The DOJ said it spent weeks editing the materials and temporarily removed the documents after discovering errors. Deputy U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche assured that the department promptly corrects violations, but they allegedly constitute only \u201c0.001% of the materials\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"acssf62a8\">\u201c0.001% of materials\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>  \u2013 Todd Blanche <\/p>\n<p>Attorneys for the victims say they warned the agency about a list of 350 victims, but the DOJ did not check whether the edits had worked.
