“Inadvertently disclosed” pictures from publicly available data related to the case of suspected sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein must be removed, under a federal judge’s order.
Recently, pictures of girls and young women taken on Epstein’s infamous Caribbean island were published by the New York Post.

“The Clerk of the Court is directed to strike docket entry 1332-7 in the above-captioned case because it contains inadvertently disclosed images that should have been redacted. Counsel shall re-file the stricken document as soon as is practicable,” In the ruling, U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska stated.
The Post reports that images shot by Sarah Ransome in 2006 on Epstein’s Little St. James Island were given to the court.
The now 37-year-old Ransome is seen covered in a white towel in the photos that have been circulated on social media.
Photos of Epstein’s partner Jean-Luc Brunel, a French modeling scout who was discovered dead in a Parisian jail cell after being accused of raping minor girls, and his collaborator in sex crimes, Ghislaine Maxwell, are also included, according to the Post.
Maxwell was found guilty of sexually abusing little girls and was given a 20-year jail sentence.
Ransome stated in testimony in Maxwell’s criminal prosecution in 2022, according to the Post, that her stay on Epstein’s island was “[l]ike Hotel California, you could check into the Epstein-Maxwell dungeon of sexual hell, but you could never leave.”
“I frequently experience flashbacks and wake up in a cold sweat from nightmares reliving the awful experience,” Ransome said.
She gave the court her pictures in 2015 as part of Virginia Roberts Giuffre’s case against Maxwell.

The images “unequivocally” confirmed Maxwell’s presence on Little St. James Island throughout the relevant period, according to Giuffre’s counsel.
Preska issued an order last month to divulge a vast amount of case-related paperwork.
“You know, all the girls kind of reported to Ghislaine,” The court records state that Ransome gave a testimony. “Ghislaine was like the mama bear, if you know what I mean. She called the shots; we had to listen to Ghislaine.”
“They were really naughty,” she said. “You know, they took girls from very underprivileged families. They gave them accommodation, they gave them food, gave them money for transportation, you know, private planes, etc, etc.”
“So if I didn’t have sex with Jeffrey, I would be homeless and starving in New York, so — and my dream of getting a full- time education at one of the top fashion institutes in the world would be diminished.”
“And Ghislaine was Jeffrey’s right-hand woman, so, you know, whatever Jeffrey wanted went through Ghislaine and then filtered through,” Ransome said.
Epstein passed suddenly in 2019 while being held by federal officials. He was charged with participating in the trafficking of sex and planning to traffic minors for sex.
