In a gut-wrenching revelation from the Justice Department’s latest Epstein file dump, federal investigators documented harrowing allegations: one survivor, just 14, described being paid for sexual acts at Epstein’s Palm Beach mansion, while another recounted how the financier demanded to see a girl’s ID—to confirm she was underage—before rejecting “Spanish or dark” teens.T

The U.S. Department of Justice’s ongoing release of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents in December 2025 has uncovered chilling evidence from federal investigators, painting a grim picture of systematic sexual abuse and rape of underage teenage girls.

Among the newly unsealed files, police reports and FBI interviews detail allegations that Epstein sexually exploited dozens of minors, some as young as 14, at his properties in Palm Beach, New York, and elsewhere. One 96-page Palm Beach police report from the 2005-2006 investigation describes multiple victims recounting being recruited for “massages” that escalated to sexual assault and rape. Victims reported being paid cash to perform sexual acts and to recruit other girls, forming a pyramid scheme of exploitation.

Grand jury testimony from 2007, included in recent batches, features a witness admitting to bringing high school girls—most aged 16-18, with one as young as 14—to Epstein’s home. She testified that Epstein rejected older women and preferred underage teens. Supporting evidence cited in the files includes phone records, message logs, bank deposits for payments to victims, and witness statements corroborating intimidation tactics.

A 2019 witness statement reveals Epstein allegedly requesting a girl’s ID to confirm she was underage and specifying preferences against certain ethnicities. FBI documents also highlight raids uncovering nude photos, sex toys, and massage tables as evidence.

While much remains heavily redacted to protect victims—over 1,200 identified—the releases confirm Epstein’s operation involved grooming and coercion with help from associates like Ghislaine Maxwell, convicted in 2021 for trafficking minors.

Victims’ advocates praise the disclosures for validating survivors’ accounts but criticize delays and redactions, arguing full transparency is needed for accountability. As over a million additional documents await review, pressure mounts for complete release.

These files underscore the horrific scale of Epstein’s crimes, fueling calls for justice in a case that continues to shock the nation.
