Epstein survivors sue DOJ, Google over information release, report says
A group of Jeffrey Epstein survivors is suing the U.S. Department of Justice and Google, alleging the DOJ prioritized rapid disclosure over privacy when releasing files, exposing the personal information of about 100 survivors. The lawsuit claims Google continues to display this information in search results and AI content. The plaintiffs seek damages and an order for Google to remove the data. The DOJ has previously defended its handling, citing the challenge of balancing speed with victim protection given the massive volume of documents. Epstein died in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
