Epstein Survivors Demand Full Transparency on Released Files

Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein have united in a powerful video urging the release of all files related to his case, amid frustrations over the limited access to information.

In a recent 40-second advertisement by the group World Without Exploitation, survivors of Jeffrey Epstein have called for the full release of files related to the convicted sex offender. The U.S. Department of Justice has been criticized for not meeting the legal deadline to publish all documents, leaving many redacted. The ad, released on Super Bowl Sunday, featured survivors asking for the truth, highlighting that millions of files remain unreleased.

Survivors of late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein have appeared in an advert calling for the release of more files related to him. In the 40-second video from the World Without Exploitation group, released in the US on Super Bowl Sunday, survivors held up photographs of their younger selves and said 'we all deserve the truth'.

The US Department of Justice (DOJ) was required by law to make all files public in December last year. However, only some have been released - many with redactions.

The DOJ said files not published were either unrelated, duplicates, or had been withheld under deliberative process or attorney-client privilege, or because they depicted violence. Deliberative process privilege allows US government agencies to withhold documents which reflect decision-making processes, while attorney-client privilege is intended to protect the confidentiality of communications between lawyers and clients.

Deputy US Attorney General Todd Blanche said last month that the most recent release of material, on 30 January, 'marks the end of a very comprehensive document identification and review process'. He also refuted claims of a hidden tranche of information that was being covered up or kept from prosecution.

Sunday's advert featuring the survivors began with the statement: 'On November 19, 2025, the Epstein Files Transparency Act was signed into law.' It continued with a bold statement: '3 MILLION FILES Still Have Not Been Released.'

The survivors, with black redaction marks over their mouths, addressed the camera directly, each stating 'we're standing together'. The ad concluded with a call for viewers to 'stand with us' and 'Tell Attorney General Pam Bondi IT'S TIME FOR THE TRUTH'.

The group revealed they could not afford to air a commercial during the Super Bowl, despite its massive viewership, as a 30-second advertisement could cost more than $8 million.

The DOJ's release of documents has highlighted Epstein's associations with many prominent individuals, but the justice department has faced scrutiny after failing to meet the 19 December deadline to release all files mandated by the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Epstein was found dead in his prison cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, with officials ruling his death an apparent suicide. Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's associate, is scheduled to testify before a congressional committee investigating the handling of Epstein files, having agreed under oath to testify, though she may invoke her right to remain silent without legal immunity.
