Dominican model appears in material seized in the Jeffrey Epstein case files

United States.– Among the documents and graphic materials recently declassified by the United States Department of Justice in the case of sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein, is an adult magazine in which a woman identified as a Dominican model appears. The material corresponds to a commercial publication in which the young woman is presented as "current platinum model" and described as a mix between Puerto Rican and Dominican, noting that she was 18 years old at the time of publication. The advertisement details her physical measurements and offers sexual services, along with a contact number. The magazine not only includes the Dominican-born woman, but also young people of various nationalities, some linked to agencies and others not, whose personal data were explicitly published. These images are part of a set of magazines, advertisements, and documents that were collected by federal investigators as part of the collection seized from properties associated with Epstein, material that is currently under public scrutiny following the declassification of thousands of files. Also, the documents mention other Dominican citizens who allegedly worked for Epstein, accused of sex trafficking and exploitation of young women for years. However, the Justice Department removed thousands of documents related to the case from its website last Tuesday, after it was reported that the identity of potential victims had been compromised after publication. In statements to US media, the institution explained that the withdrawal was due to technical or human errors, and assured that all files whose deletion was requested by the victims or their legal representatives were removed for editing and review. A letter presented before a federal judge indicated that the review process will continue with the aim of ensuring that no additional sensitive information is exposed, while maintaining public access to documents that comply with legal data protection standards.
