Epstein had huge cache of child sex pics; victims sue to find out who's in them
Survivors appalled nobody will tell them if they’re in Epstein’s CSAM collection.
Two survivors of child sex abuse have filed a proposed class action lawsuit against the Justice Department for allegedly failing to inform them about their inclusion in Jeffrey Epstein's vast collection of child pornography images. According to the survivors, Epstein initiated his collection of child sex imagery in the 1990s, with many instances recovered by the DOJ following his apprehension.
In 2025, the FBI began examining "tens of thousands of videos" containing illegal child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and acknowledged that "a large volume of images" seized depicted probable minors. Certain victims might have interacted with Epstein, as he maintained a "modelbook" of nude photographs of youthful girls ensnared in his network.
Nonetheless, the FBI identified hundreds of CSAM images within the seized cache, comprising roughly 15-20 images of recognized CSAM dating back to the 1990s. Regrettably, the DOJ has largely neglected these victims, whose identities remain uncertain and who have no means of determining if Epstein held, transported, or traded their images.
