"This is not rocket science," Kuvin told CBS News main Washington analogous Major Garrett connected "The Takeout" Monday. 

Kuvin says helium had antecedently represented the precise archetypal unfortunate to travel guardant with allegations against Epstein, and that she was among those whose names were not redacted successful the latest record release. 

"All they [the U.S. government] were doing was trying to marque definite that these precise almighty radical were redacted from the files, and they did not attraction astir the victims astatine all," Kuvin said, and called for the website wherever the files are being shared to beryllium taken down until the names are decently redacted – though helium admitted it whitethorn beryllium excessively precocious present that the names person been released and galore of the files person been downloaded by others.

"Some of these young girls bash not privation to beryllium identified. Never person wished to beryllium identified."

A Justice Department spokesperson said the DOJ "takes unfortunate extortion precise earnestly and has redacted thousands of unfortunate names successful the millions of published pages to support the innocent," with hundreds of reviewers scouring the documents and, successful immoderate cases, removing already published documents to hole redaction problems. In a missive Monday, the section besides said that arsenic soon arsenic a unfortunate raises concerns astir a document, the record is removed from its tract truthful the section tin determine whether further redactions are needed.

While the Justice Department has insisted the hold successful releasing the remainder of the Epstein files, arsenic required by law, has been owed successful portion to the dilatory process of redacting accusation connected Jeffrey Epstein's victims, attorneys for immoderate of the victims accidental the latest merchandise of 3 cardinal pages contained the unredacted images and identities of aggregate survivors.

"I mean, it's truthful egregious … I americium speechless astatine however unspeakable the redactions really are," subsister Dani Bensky told CBS News.

"There's nary existent rhyme oregon crushed to what the redactions are," Bensky added

Attorneys for survivors say the Justice Department failed to redact the identities of astatine slightest 31 radical who were victimized arsenic children. Some person since reported being harassed and flooded with "disgusting backstage messages," according to a tribunal filing.

One of the Epstein files that was released Friday was a 45-page memo from 2007 successful which a Miami-based national authoritative asks for support from supervisors to bring a 60-count indictment against Epstein. 

That lawsuit was yet ne'er tried, and Epstein wasn't charged successful national tribunal until implicit a decennary later.

The memo says the Palm Beach Police Department identified 27 girls and women betwixt the ages of 14 and 23 who went to Epstein's location for "massage services," and describes assorted degrees of intersexual interaction betwixt Epstein and the girls. The memo says the victims were typically paid $200 for visits, and were "encouraged to find different girls to bring with them," besides for pay.

The papers says the section constabulary department's probe recovered that Epstein's "assistant/girlfriend" sometimes joined successful "the intersexual activity." 

The memo lays retired respective imaginable charges that Epstein could person faced astatine the time, including conspiracy, enactment trafficking of children and traveling with intent to prosecute successful illicit intersexual conduct. It besides includes a conception connected "charges that were considered and rejected," including wealth laundering.

The authoritative who penned the memo acknowledges "possible credibility challenges" with immoderate of the victims whose allegations are outlined, noting that 1 had been a "focus of Epstein's attorneys due to the fact that she was the youngest miss and the 1 who brought Epstein's activities to light." 

The memo — addressed to then-U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida Alex Acosta and different supervisors — suggests presenting a sealed indictment to a expansive assemblage connected May 15, 2007, and arresting Epstein days later, saying the FBI had accusation connected Epstein's whereabouts connected May 16 and 19.

"Epstein is considered an highly precocious formation hazard and, from accusation we person received, a continued information to the assemblage based upon his continued enticement of underage girls," the memo reads. 

But the Justice Department did not o.k. the charges astatine the time, alternatively cutting a woody that allowed Epstein to debar national prosecution successful speech for pleading blameworthy to prostitution successful Florida authorities court. Epstein was sentenced to 18 months successful jail and had to registry arsenic a enactment offender, and was released aft 13 months. He was not charged federally until 2019, erstwhile prosecutors charged him with enactment trafficking of minors.

That non-prosecution woody has drawn wide criticism. The Justice Department's Office of Professional Responsibility, which noted the beingness of the 2007 prosecution memo, found successful 2020 that Acosta exercised "poor judgment."

ABC News was first to report connected the 2007 memo.
