Epstein case: Jane Doe 107 faces Monday deadline in anonymity battle

(NewsNation) — Monday marks a critical deadline in the high-profile Jeffrey Epstein case. The person identified as Jane Doe 107 must prove that if her name is released, it would cause her irrevocable harm.

It’s still not confirmed if Doe 107 is an accuser or an associate.


But by the end of the day Monday, her attorney must provide documentation explaining why their client’s safety could be at risk if her name is released.

They must also provide details about the hate mail she’s already received.

Just ahead of the release of the Epstein documents, Doe 107’s attorney Richard Levitt wrote a letter to the judge detailing his clients’ fears, reading in part, ”As Doe 107 has previously stated, she lives outside the United States in a culturally conservative country and lives in fear of her name being released.”

He further implied that she may face social stigma, harassment or even threats to her safety if her connection to the Epstein case is made known.

This comes after thousands of pages of documents, and more than 150 associates and accusers connected to the late convicted pedophile and financier have been released and named over the last couple of weeks.

Some names in the documents include former President Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, former President Donald Trump and Epstein’s attorney Alan Dershowitz.

“2008 is when he was convicted. Anybody who associated with him before that time kind of deserves the benefit of the doubt in my view,” Matt Murphy, a personal injury and criminal defense attorney, said. “Anybody afterward, once we have dates — I want to see who is seeing him, who was hanging out with him, who was socializing with him after everyone knew he was a pedophile.”

It is not clear if Doe 107’s affidavit has been filed yet and whether it will be made public.
