The Justice Department exposed them. Now they\u2019re under attack by haters"},"content":{"rendered":"<div><div><i>Note: This story contains offensive language<\/i><\/div><div>When Marina Lacerda told the world that Jeffrey Epstein had sexually abused her when she was 14, the threats began almost immediately.<\/div><div>In September, she and other accusers appeared at a news conference pressing for the release of the Epstein files. \u201cShe\u2019ll be unalived,\u201d a stranger wrote under a YouTube video of a news report about Lacerda that day. \u201cShe really should\u2019ve stayed quiet. RIP.\u201d<\/div><div>The harassment intensified when Lacerda\u2019s name appeared at least 46 times in unredacted Justice Department documents months later. Online, she was called a liar and a prostitute who deserved what happened to her. Her 12-year-old daughter was taunted at school by classmates asking if she was Epstein\u2019s child.<\/div><div>Today, Lacerda lives with her daughter in a gated community and sleeps with a handgun on her nightstand. \u201cI\u2019m scared that somebody\u2019s going to come in the house,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m just paranoid all the time.\u201d<\/div><div>Lacerda is one of 23 Epstein accusers Reuters identified who\u2019ve faced threats, harassment and intimidation by trolls, haters and other foes \u2013 some after speaking publicly about their abuse, others after their identities were exposed in the Justice Department\u2019s Epstein files, and in some cases both. Drawing on interviews with the women, police and court records, and thousands of online posts, the review is the most comprehensive to date of the scope and severity of attacks on Epstein\u2019s accusers.<\/div><div>The harassment took many forms. Strangers photographed women\u2019s homes. Unfamiliar cars lingered outside and sped off when confronted. Some women received threats of violence, including calls from people claiming to know where they lived. Several say they no longer leave home alone.<\/div><div>The Justice Department said it took steps to protect victim information after releasing millions of pages of Epstein-related investigative files in December and January, and moved quickly to fix redaction errors when notified. Asked about its handling of the files for this report, Justice Department spokesperson Natalie Baldassarre said that \u201cno victim should face harassment, threats, or intimidation after coming forward.\u201d She added that the department is \u201cnot to blame for backlash directed at victims who voluntarily revealed their identities long before files were published.\u201d<\/div><div>Former Attorney General Pam Bondi, who President Donald Trump fired in April, acknowledged \u201credaction errors\u201d in May 29 testimony to Congress about the Justice Department\u2019s handling of the Epstein files. She said she had delegated responsibility for releasing the documents to her then-deputy Todd Blanche.<\/div><div>\u201cWe made mistakes and we owned up to them,\u201d Blanche, now Acting Attorney General, testified before a congressional committee on May 19. \u201cOf course any time we release a victim\u2019s name that shouldn\u2019t be released, we have failed as a Department of Justice.\u201d <\/div><div>For the 23 women Reuters interviewed, the news organization reviewed documentation of their allegations against Epstein \u2013 much of it in court or law enforcement records \u2013 or confirmed they received compensation through court-approved funds or settlements. All said the harassment had deepened the harm they say Epstein inflicted, placing them in the spotlight of an enduring national criminal scandal fueled by Washington politics and their own push for accountability.<\/div><div>Lawmakers from both parties have drawn some of the women into political battles. They have been invited to high-profile events, including the annual State of the Union address, to pressure the Trump administration over its handling of the case, demand the release of more files and pursue greater accountability for Epstein\u2019s associates.<\/div><div><div><iframe frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/queso.prod.reuters.tv\/?autoplay=false&amp;mid=778738&amp;poster=https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/investigates\/special-report\/assets\/usa-epstein-accusers-threats\/usa-epstein-accusers-threats-poster.jpg\" style=\"top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Epstein accusers speak about lives shaped by fear and vigilance.<\/p><\/div><div>The accusers face a fraught calculation: Speaking out can draw attention to abuses that long went unpunished, but also expose them to further harm. At least 10 of the women interviewed by Reuters said they now own weapons \u2013 including guns, Tasers, pepper spray or knives \u2013 or use armed security for protection. <\/div><div>Nearly all the women described living in a constant state of vigilance. Four told Reuters they reported threats to police, but the cases didn\u2019t lead to prosecutions because authorities couldn\u2019t identify suspects or determine that a crime had occurred, according to the women and police records. One case remains under active investigation, police said. Other women said they chose not to contact law enforcement, citing distrust rooted in what they saw as past failures to act on their abuse claims.<\/div><div>In Lacerda\u2019s case, a YouTube spokesperson said the \u201cunalived\u201d threat was removed after Reuters asked the video-sharing platform to comment on it.<\/div><div>The motivations of those menacing the women range from victim-blaming to conspiracy theories. The women have drawn fire across the political spectrum \u2013 sometimes for voting for Trump, more often for criticizing his handling of the Epstein files or for suggesting he\u2019s covering up information. Trump was a friend of Epstein\u2019s for years. He has denied knowing about the financier\u2019s sex crimes.<\/div><div>Some victims are accused of seeking money or attention, branded as prostitutes or grifters. Others, particularly those from Russia or Eastern Europe, have been called foreign spies. Trolls question why some women returned to Epstein after being abused; others say women who were 18 or older when victimized have weak claims.<\/div><div>Even women who were minors at the time have faced criticism. Some harassers suggest they should have understood the risks, or blame their parents for failing to protect them. <\/div><div>At the same time, the women have received widespread praise for speaking out and forcing Epstein\u2019s long-buried abuses into the open. Women\u2019s rights groups, lawmakers from both parties and others have hailed them as brave.<\/div><div>Epstein pleaded guilty in Florida in 2008 to prostitution charges, including soliciting an underage girl, under a deal that resulted in him spending 13 months in jail. Arrested again in July 2019 on federal sex\u2011trafficking charges involving minors in New York and Florida, he died in a Manhattan jail awaiting trial. His death was ruled a suicide. About $425 million has been paid to at least 200 victims through a compensation fund and settlements with his estate and banks accused of facilitating the abuse. His accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted in 2021 and is serving a 20\u2011year sentence.<\/div><div>In at least 6,250 instances, names, addresses, phone numbers, birthdates and photos appeared unredacted in the Justice Department\u2019s release of the Epstein files, exposing the identities of at least 177 women \u2013 in some cases repeatedly for the same women, said Brittany Henderson, whose Florida law firm represents at least 250 Epstein accusers. <\/div><div>Reuters was unable to independently verify that count. But the Justice Department said in a February letter to judges overseeing the cases against Epstein and Maxwell that it had taken down \u201cseveral thousands of documents and media that may have inadvertently included victim-identifying information.\u201d <\/div><div>Blanche said in his May 19 testimony that the department removed documents \u201cthe second\u201d victims or their lawyers reported them and had lawyers working \u201c24\/7\u201d to \u201cmake sure that we fixed every single problem.\u201d <\/div><div>Yet even after errors were flagged, personal information remained visible, sometimes for months, according to a Reuters review of the files and emails sent by the women\u2019s lawyers to the Justice Department.<\/div><div>In dozens of cases, Henderson said, the information remained public even after she had reported the errors. Some were corrected within days, but others went unaddressed for weeks or were reposted without being fully redacted.<\/div><div>The Justice Department declined to comment on Henderson\u2019s specific cases. But the spokesperson said it \u201ctakes victim redaction seriously\u201d and that when personal information is found to be unredacted, \u201cour team swiftly fixes the issue and republishes the appropriately redacted pages.\u201d<\/div><h3>REPEATED ERRORS<\/h3><div>In the summer of 2004, Danielle Bensky was 17, an aspiring ballerina at a New York performing arts school, when she said she was invited to Epstein\u2019s Manhattan mansion to work as a paid masseuse.<\/div><div>There was nothing sexual at first, but that soon changed, she said. When she told him her mother had been diagnosed with a brain tumor, Epstein threatened to use his pull with New York hospitals to interfere with her mother\u2019s care unless she complied with his sexual demands. She said she took the threat seriously and continued visiting him, and that the abuse went on for about a year.<\/div><div>In April 2021, Bensky went public, identifying herself as an Epstein victim. But it wasn\u2019t until the Justice Department began releasing the Epstein files \u2013 including unredacted documents identifying her \u2013 that she began receiving violent threats.<\/div><div>In December, her first name and phone number appeared in one document and her full name in another. In January, one document listed her full name and birthdate; another had her name, birthdate, phone number, and home and workplace addresses. That document was up for about three days before the Justice Department took it down, her lawyer, Sigrid McCawley, estimates. <\/div><div>While picking up her son from school in February, Bensky saw that she\u2019d received a Facebook message from a man in New Mexico: \u201cI would skullfuck you until you died.\u201d The man\u2019s Facebook page included photos of him holding an assault rifle. Her thoughts immediately turned to her son. \u201cI just want to make sure that he\u2019s safe,\u201d she said in an interview. <\/div><div>Bensky, 39, now a dance teacher and choreographer, blocked the sender. Reuters contacted the man, Robin Clark, through his Facebook page to ask about the message. He replied: \u201cI\u2019m sure she endured some fucked up shit I cannot imagine but she is not the only victim and she chose the wrong path.\u201d Then he told the reporter to \u201cfuck off\u201d and blocked her. Other attempts to reach Clark were unsuccessful.<\/div><div>Bensky reported Clark\u2019s message to Facebook in June. The account was removed for violating Facebook\u2019s policies, according to a spokesperson for parent company Meta.<\/div><div>In March, another release of Justice Department files brought Bensky\u2019s name back into public view, this time in a 2008 statement she had given to a Federal Bureau of Investigation agent. In it, she described Epstein masturbating while she massaged him. When she stopped, he grew upset, told her to leave and paid her $300, she told the FBI. <\/div><div>McCawley, her lawyer, said she notified the Justice Department on March 7 and followed up nine days later after the department failed to redact the file. Only then was it redacted, she said.<\/div><div>In April, Reuters reviewed the Justice Department website and found that Bensky\u2019s last name remained visible in two additional places. Reuters informed her, and her lawyer again contacted the department. The information, her lawyer said, was redacted several days later.<\/div><div>\u201cIt puts survivors in a place where you feel gutted,\u201d Bensky said of the Justice Department\u2019s redaction errors. \u201cI\u2019m always much more cautious and looking over my shoulder now.\u201d <\/div><div>Former Playboy magazine model Audra Lynn Fasano said Epstein raped her in 2004. She went public with her accusation last July, four years after reporting Epstein to the FBI. In February, her status as a former Playboy model appeared unredacted in the Epstein files. Her zip code was briefly unredacted, too. <\/div><div>Soon after, she told Reuters, unfamiliar vehicles lingered outside her home. One parked near her driveway but drove off when she began recording it. In May, the department reposted the document with the Playboy detail redacted, but it still appeared in search previews on the department\u2019s website. After Reuters asked about it, the issue was fixed. <\/div><div>Another woman, who has never publicly identified herself as an Epstein accuser and spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity, said she spotted a stranger in March photographing her home after her name and those of family members appeared unredacted in the Epstein files. After Henderson, her lawyer, flagged it to the Justice Department, it took about a month to be fixed, the woman said. <\/div><div>The botched redactions have sparked legal action. In March, an accuser filed a class-action lawsuit in federal court against the Justice Department and Google over the \u201cwrongful disclosure and republication\u201d of personal information in the Epstein files. <\/div><div>The suit, brought by a woman whose identity is withheld in court filings, alleges the Justice Department \u201couted approximately 100 survivors\u201d in violation of the Privacy Act of 1974, which bars releasing personal information without consent. <\/div><div>Google, the complaint alleges, republished the data, \u201cmaking it permanently and globally accessible.\u201d The suit seeks an order requiring Google to remove and stop displaying the personal information, as well as damages, including at least $1,000 per victim from the federal government. The complaint says the disclosures led to harassment and threats to victims\u2019 safety.<\/div><div>The Justice Department and Google have not issued a formal response in court to the lawsuit. Both declined to comment on it for this report.<\/div><h3>\u2018OVERWHELMING\u2019<\/h3><div>In April 2019, Maria Farmer went public with her account of abuse by Epstein and Maxwell. She said she was inspired by Virginia Giuffre, who eight years earlier had abandoned anonymity to accuse Epstein of trafficking her to powerful men. <\/div><div>Giuffre died by suicide last year. Farmer, now 56, said she also considered ending her life because of what she described as relentless harassment, threats and public attacks after speaking out. \u201cI\u2019ve wished I didn\u2019t have to live any longer,\u201d she told Reuters. \u201cWho could survive the absurdity of being the whistleblower of a case, only to then be blamed for the crimes you reported?\u201d<\/div><div>Farmer\u2019s story began with what she has described as a seemingly ordinary encounter with Epstein. This account is drawn from multiple sources: her sworn affidavit filed in April 2019, a civil complaint filed later that year against the executors of Epstein\u2019s estate, an ongoing 2025 lawsuit she filed against the U.S. government, police and FBI complaint records from 1996, and Reuters interviews with Farmer and her lawyer.<\/div><div>In 1995, while studying for a master\u2019s degree in fine arts from the New York Academy of Art, Farmer met Epstein at an art show and sold him a painting at half price after he offered to help her career. The next year, he hired her to acquire art for him. Then 26 and newly graduated, she sourced artwork while also working as a receptionist at his Manhattan mansion, keeping track of visitors.<\/div><div>In the summer of 1996, Epstein arranged for her to travel to Ohio to work on an art project. While there, Farmer alleges, Epstein and Maxwell led her into a bedroom and sexually assaulted her. The abuse extended to her family, Farmer said. In her sworn affidavit, she said her 15\u2011year\u2011old sister, Annie, was also sexually abused by Epstein in New Mexico. <\/div><div>After returning to New York with the help of her father later that summer, she reported Epstein and Maxwell to the New York Police Department and the FBI. She told authorities about her own abuse and what she believed was a wider system involving minors that she witnessed at Epstein\u2019s mansion. She said Epstein threatened to \u201cburn her house down,\u201d according to notes from a September 1996 FBI complaint form.<\/div><div>In her account to investigators, Farmer urged agents to look beyond Epstein, she told Reuters. She recalled seeing prominent figures around Epstein, including Trump and former President Bill Clinton, she said. She did not witness either man engage in unlawful conduct, she said, but wondered what they were doing with Epstein. <\/div><div>Trump has denied knowing about Epstein\u2019s crimes. A Clinton spokesperson pointed to his congressional testimony in February when the ex-president said he \u201csaw nothing that gave me pause\u201d during his time with Epstein and had no knowledge of the financier\u2019s crimes, which came to light long after they stopped associating. <\/div><div>The FBI agent hung up on Farmer mid\u2011call, she said in the lawsuit she filed last year. Investigators did not pursue her allegations or open a substantive inquiry, she said.<\/div><div>She left New York soon afterward, changing her name and moving repeatedly. She lived under aliases in South Carolina and North Carolina after discovering that Maxwell had tracked her movements, according to Farmer&#8217;s lawyer. Epstein and Maxwell threatened to kill her if she spoke to police again, Farmer said. <\/div><div>\u201cWe could shoot you twice in the back of the head,\u201d she recalled Maxwell telling her. A lawyer representing Maxwell declined to comment.<\/div><div>In the months before Epstein\u2019s 2019 arrest, Farmer went public, filing an affidavit detailing her allegations in the hope that prosecutors would act. Unlike other accusers around that time, she chose not to remain anonymous, following Giuffre\u2019s approach. The two women were among the first to use their real names to confront Epstein and his inner circle. Farmer said she believed speaking openly might force some measure of accountability.<\/div><div>Instead, she said, it ruined her life. Strangers attacked her online, calling her a \u201cpathological liar\u201d and a \u201cscam artist\u201d who was \u201cnever a victim of Epstein\u201d and should be prosecuted and sent to prison. She has cycled through a dozen phone numbers and email addresses after her accounts were repeatedly hacked. <\/div><div>\u201cIt has been so cruel and overwhelming,\u201d she said of the response.<\/div><div>One episode still stands out, she said. In January 2022, while undergoing radiation treatment for Hodgkin\u2019s lymphoma, she received a call from a woman who said she lived in California and owned a large cache of guns.<\/div><div>\u201c\u2018I know where you live,\u2019\u201d Farmer recalled the woman saying. Farmer reported the call to police in Hot Springs Village, Arkansas, where she was living at the time, according to a police report reviewed by Reuters. An officer attempted to contact the caller but was unsuccessful, and the case was later closed after no further harassment was reported. A Hot Springs Village Police Department spokesperson declined to comment further.<\/div><div>Strangers posted her personal information and home address online. In February, after someone shared a photo of her house on the social media platform X, Farmer no longer felt safe. \u201cI had to leave,\u201d she said. \u201cYou feel violated.\u201d She moved soon after and put her home up for sale. Her elderly mother, who lived nearby, now drives an hour to visit.<\/div><div>\u201cI\u2019ve just watched it completely devastate her,\u201d said her sister, Annie, 46. \u201cIt\u2019s really changed the way that she interacts with the world.\u201d <\/div><div>Farmer leaves her new home only once a week, she said, and never alone. When she goes outside, she wears a hat and sunglasses and scans her surroundings. <\/div><div>In May 2025, Farmer filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government alleging negligence in failing to protect her and other victims from Epstein and Maxwell. She accuses the FBI of doing \u201cabsolutely nothing\u201d after she first reported Epstein\u2019s alleged crimes. The government has not yet responded to the lawsuit\u2019s allegations in court but filed papers arguing the case should be transferred to Florida. The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The Justice Department said it \u201ccannot speak to FBI actions from 30 years ago.\u201d<\/div><h3>ALWAYS ON ALERT <\/h3><div>For Farmer and some others who have accused Epstein of sexual abuse, the harassment has not eased with time. They have reshaped their lives to cope with it.<\/div><div>Jena-Lisa Jones was 14 when she said a friend of a friend took her to Epstein&#8217;s Palm Beach home in 2004. She said she had been told she would be paid to give him a massage, but instead he sexually abused her.<\/div><div>After she spoke about that experience at the U.S. Capitol last September, she was inundated with texts and direct messages. Strangers called her a liar. One urged her to kill herself. \u201cIt broke me,\u201d she said in an interview. <\/div><div>Then came the phone calls: dozens in a night from unknown numbers, some silent, others mocking her abuse. \u201cYou better fucking answer when I call you back,\u201d said one caller who identified himself as \u201cDaddy Epstein\u201d in a voicemail. Reuters reviewed the recording but could not identify the caller. <\/div><div>Jones said she didn\u2019t report the calls to police, citing a lack of faith in law enforcement after its handling of the Epstein case.<\/div><div>Jones, now 37 and a mother of four, has installed security cameras at her Florida home. When she goes out, she carries a knife and a Taser, and scans parking lots for cars that linger or circle back. \u201cI\u2019m just always on high alert,\u201d said Jones. <\/div><div>Lacerda, the woman who now sleeps with a handgun by her bedside, said she, too, is vigilant. Identified as \u201cMinor Victim-1\u201d in Epstein\u2019s 2019 federal sex-trafficking indictment, she was 14 when she said she was abused after meeting the financier in 2002. <\/div><div>To make it harder for strangers to find her, she changed her name on property records. <\/div><div>\u201cI absolutely love that I broke my silence,\u201d she said. \u201cBut the aftermath \u2014 it\u2019s just paranoia.\u201d<\/div><div><address><div><div><noscript>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" alt=\"Mike Spector\" class=\"wp-image-1368\" src=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/fc54458c45e37407fced4b026fdcda80.avif\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/noscript><\/div><div>Mike Spector<\/div><\/div><div><ul><li><span><div><svg><title>Email<\/title><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/li><li><span><div><svg><title>X<\/title><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/li><li><span><div><svg><title>Linkedin<\/title><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/address><address><div><div><noscript>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" alt=\"Linda So\" class=\"wp-image-1369\" src=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/5e821058049d347b04c5d861121332ca.avif\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/noscript><\/div><div>Linda So<\/div><\/div><div><ul><li><span><div><svg><title>Email<\/title><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/address><\/div><\/div><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=1366\">French jet on NATO mission shoots down drone in Latvian airspace, army says<\/a><\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=1364\">Businesses fear for economy if Swiss vote to cap population at 10 million<\/a><\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=1357\">UK PM Starmer set to ban \u2018harmful\u2019 social media for under-16s<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nearly two dozen Epstein accusers told Reuters that speaking out sparked threats and relentless harassment, in some cases after Justice Department files exposed their identities.
