In the latest uncovered emails buried within the millions of Epstein files, an email sent to the disgraced financier appears to include an image of a girl aged just 10. The troves of files released by the US Department of Justice include photos, videos and emails all taken from Epstein’s private computers.
With huge swathes of many of the documents redacted and covered in black squares, there has been an increasing demand for transparency – something that has gained even more traction after the latest uncovered message. One of the files contains an email sent to Epstein on September 22, 2016.
The sender had been redacted, but the message itself contains just two chilling words: “Age 10”. The email then appears to have an image attached to it, though the photo itself has not been released.
People rooting through files also found a similarly eerie message, which is thought to have been from the same sender. Sent just two minutes later, another email with only the words “Age 11” as well as an attached image.
It came more than a decade after his conviction for soliciting prostitution from a minor, for which he was registered as a sex offender.
For the sex trafficking charges, he was accused of running a “vast network” of underage girls for sex.
After the message was uncovered, it sparked a backlash online with many taking to X to demand that the sender’s name be unredacted.
One poster wrote: “Who sent Jeffrey Epstein an image of what appears to be a ten-year-old child? Why is this redacted?”
While another added: “Yeah, they need to stop redacting those names. It’s protection. They don’t deserve to be protected.”
A third commented: “The people doing the redacting KNOW who these people are! Secrets will all come out eventually.”
The US Justice Department has also come under fire from survivors of Epstein, who say their private information was revealed in the latest release of documents.
