An anonymous victim of Jeffrey Epstein who has accused President Trump of sexually assaulting her is reportedly living in fear of retaliation.
<i>The Guardian</i> reports that the woman identified in the federal government’s Epstein files as “Jane Doe 4” is “living off the grid” and fears retaliation from the Trump administration, according to one of her relatives.
“Trauma is brutal.
Chronic trauma destroys.
She’s coping as best she can,” the relative told the publication, saying the woman had been abused since early childhood.
“She’s coping as best she can.”
Jane Doe 4 spoke to the FBI in 2019, telling agents she was abused by Epstein in the 1980s and sexually assaulted by Trump when she was between 13 and 15 years old on Hilton Head Island in South Carolina.
In March, South Carolina’s <i>Post and Courier</i> confirmed certain details of the woman’s life outlined in the Epstein files.
None of these details were related to her allegations against Trump.
There’s no evidence the FBI followed up after the woman made the allegations.
One of her attorneys, who accompanied her in two of her FBI interviews, said he never received follow-up calls from the agents nor got copies of their reports, which normally are given to defense counsel.
In her final FBI interview, the woman cut off contact with the bureau, telling agents that she believed she was being followed.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told <i>The Post and Courier</i> the woman’s allegations were “baseless accusations from decades ago’’ that “are backed by zero evidence or facts,” describing her as “a sadly disturbed woman who has an extensive criminal history.”
The woman’s account is one of the few from the Epstein files that accuse Trump directly, and the Justice Department has been criticized for its handling of her case files.
Last week, a federal judge ordered the Justice Department to comply with the Epstein Files Transparency Act and either release any unreleased Epstein files—including interview notes on Jane Doe 4—or explain why it can’t do so.
There are about 2.5 million unreleased government files on Epstein, which were either classified as “duplicative” or remain legally protected by the DOJ for unknown reasons.
“It should not be Jane Doe 4’s responsibility to keep coming forward,” Sky Roberts, the brother of Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre, told <i>The Guardian</i>.
“She’s already given her testimony to the FBI.
It should be Justice’s responsibility to take that evidence and press forward.”
