In the shadows of Jeffrey Epstein’s infamous 2007 non-prosecution deal—a agreement that shielded him from federal charges—lurked at least ten unnamed “potential co-conspirators,” staffers and close associates whose identities were quietly protected. FBI and DOJ files from 2019 to 2025 reveal investigators dug deep into these individuals, probing their roles in recruiting, transporting, and enabling the abuse of dozens of underage girls.
Yet even after Epstein’s death and Ghislaine Maxwell’s conviction, many names stay heavily redacted, buried in sealed documents or never publicly charged. Survivors scream for transparency, but powerful forces seem determined to keep these enablers hidden forever.
Who are the missing ten—and how much longer will their secrets stay locked away?
The 2007 non-prosecution agreement (NPA) in Florida granted Jeffrey Epstein a lenient resolution to avoid federal sex-trafficking charges, allowing him to plead guilty to state-level offenses with minimal prison time. Critically, the deal extended immunity not only to Epstein but also to four explicitly named individuals—Sarah Kellen, Nadia Marcinkova (now Marcinko), Adriana Ross, and Lesley Groff—along with any “potential co-conspirators.” This broad clause shielded a wider circle of staffers, assistants, and associates from federal prosecution related to the investigated activities.
While the four named women have been widely identified through court documents, victim testimonies, and media reports as key logistical enablers—scheduling “massages,” arranging travel, and facilitating the movement of underage girls—the NPA’s language protected additional unnamed figures. FBI and Department of Justice files released or referenced between 2019 and 2025 indicate investigators examined at least ten potential co-conspirators beyond the core four. Recent document batches from late 2025, including DOJ disclosures, show redactions covering at least seven of these ten names in investigative summaries, keeping their identities obscured even as partial details emerge.
Known or strongly implicated figures in Epstein’s operation who may fall under this umbrella include individuals like pilots who flew the “Lolita Express,” household staff who witnessed or assisted in the abuse, and recruiters tied to his modeling connections. Jean-Luc Brunel, the French modeling scout who died by suicide in 2022 while awaiting trial in France, was linked through separate probes but not directly under the 2007 NPA’s U.S. immunity. Other associates, such as certain employees from Epstein’s Palm Beach or New York residences, appeared in flight logs, payment records, and victim statements, yet remain shielded or uncharged.
The persistence of heavy redactions in 2024–2025 releases—despite Epstein’s 2019 death and Ghislaine Maxwell’s 2021 sex-trafficking conviction—fuels frustration among survivors. Advocacy groups and legal filings argue that full transparency is essential for accountability, as these enablers allegedly helped recruit, groom, transport, and silence dozens of underage victims over years. Some documents reference ongoing FBI interest in these individuals post-2019, but no new federal indictments have followed for most.
The NPA’s sweeping protections, criticized as influenced by Epstein’s connections to powerful figures, created a legal firewall that has endured. Prosecutors in later cases focused on Maxwell and Epstein himself, leaving peripheral players largely untouched. Victims continue to push for unredacted files through civil suits and FOIA requests, highlighting how secrecy perpetuates trauma and erodes trust in the justice system.
Decades after the abuse began, many of these potential co-conspirators live privately, some under changed names or in obscurity, while survivors bear lasting scars. The “missing ten” represent not just names in files but the systemic failures that allowed Epstein’s network to thrive with minimal consequences for those who kept it running. Until complete disclosure occurs—through court orders, legislative pressure, or renewed investigations—the full extent of complicity and the identities of those protected will remain partially buried, a lingering injustice in one of the most scrutinized scandals of modern times.
