Jeffrey Epstein accuser Lisa Phillips on September 2, 2025

Several women who were victimized by convicted serial pedophile Jeffrey Epstein say they're prepared to take legal matters into their own hands if Congress and President Donald Trump's administration fail to provide appropriate transparency on the remaining unreleased Epstein evidence.

That's according to a Tuesday article from NBC News, which reported that several of Epstein's accusers and family members of another prominent victim are now threatening an escalation in their efforts to compel the government to release all of its remaining documents pertaining to Epstein's two federal investigations. The network recently spoke with six women who said they were assaulted by both Epstein and his chief accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, in their teens and early twenties.

Accusers Wendy Avis, Marijke Chartouni, Jena-Lisa Jones, Lisa Phillips and Liz Stein told NBC that they simply wanted Trump to follow through on his campaign promise to release the full files — which, according to the New York Times, numbers approximately 100,000 pages. Jones said Epstein abused her during a massage session when she was just 14 years old.

"A lot of these powerful people think they’re in the clear, and they’re probably still doing it now," Jones said.

"There were many, many adults around [Epstein’s] properties that may not have participated but very clearly knew what was going on," she continued. "And they’re not saying anything, and why are they still not saying anything and speaking up on our behalf?"

Phillips, who said she was groomed and exploited at Epstein's private island when she was 21, appeared to suggest that if Congress and the Trump administration's Department of Justice failed to act, more names could emerge. While she didn't allude to who may be named should they escalate in their efforts, she hinted that there were "lists" of names the victims had been assembling that may be eventually made public.

"A lot of us survivors know we’ve been compiling lists of our own, and we have so many other survivors," Phillips told NBC. "Please come forward, and we’ll compile our own list and seek justice on our own. I mean, I think that’s what’s going to happen next."
