A group of survivors linked to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has filed a class action lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Justice and Google, alleging the release and spread of sensitive personal information, reported by CNN.
According to the complaint, documents released by the DOJ in late 2025 and early 2026 exposed identifying details of around 100 victims due to redaction failures. The lawsuit claims this disclosure led to harassment, threats, and renewed trauma for survivors.

The report said that while the DOJ acknowledged errors and removed flagged files, plaintiffs argue that platforms like Google continued to index and circulate the material online. The complaint accuses Google of failing to remove or limit access despite requests.
The DOJ maintains it acted responsibly under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, stating that only a small fraction of documents contained errors and that corrections are ongoing.
