Epstein Female Survivors compile their own list

• • Announcement of Intent: At a September 2025 press conference on Capitol Hill, where survivors demanded the release of all government files related to the Epstein investigation, Lisa Phillips announced, “Us Epstein survivors have been discussing creating our own list. We know the names”. She specified the list would be “done by survivors and for survivors”.
  • Lack of Coordinated Public Effort: Interviews with other survivors, lawyers, and congressional staff a month later revealed no active, coordinated effort to publicly compile or release such a list.
  • Risks and Concerns: Some survivors and their attorneys expressed serious concerns about the idea, noting it would be “dangerous” and could put victims at risk of lawsuits or physical harm. They argue the burden of accountability should be on the government and institutions, not the victims.

• Focus on Government Accountability: The primary goal of the survivors speaking out has been to pressure the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and Congress to release all internal files from the Epstein investigation, which they believe would name associates and enablers. They feel the government has failed to provide full transparency, prompting the idea of their own list.

• Existing Information: Attorneys representing victims have their own internal working lists of individuals in Epstein’s network, but these are for legal purposes and not for public distribution. The House Oversight Committee has also released thousands of pages of documents, although most were already public
