Who is Lisa Noelle Volding and what other material has she published related to trafficking testimonies?
Executive summary
1. Who Lisa Noelle Voldeng appears to be
Lisa Noelle Voldeng is presented in public reporting as a Substack writer who runs a newsletter called Outlaws of Chivalry and whose Substack account published audio and testimony attributed to a man named Sascha (or Sasha/Sascha) Riley; Hindustan Times reports that her Substack lists an About page placing her on Vancouver Island and describes her as a popular Substack creator [1], and the testimony files were posted from her Substack account [1] [2].
2. The Riley material she published — format and scope
The material widely associated with Voldeng consists of a series of audio recordings and transcripts that she says are phone interviews she conducted with Sascha Riley in July 2025, which she then posted unredacted on her Substack; multiple outlets note that the recordings were presented as first‑hand testimony alleging child trafficking, torture, rape and murder tied to the broader Epstein network and related figures [3] [4] [2].
3. Claims made in the published testimonies
The posted Riley material contains graphic allegations and names public figures as part of a purported trafficking and abuse network; descriptions circulating on social platforms and summarized by news sites emphasize that the recordings make serious criminal allegations including murder and trafficking tied to high‑profile networks [5] [3] [4]. Lisa Noelle Voldeng’s own Substack post explicitly framed Part 1 of her series as “un‑redacted audio recordings of firsthand accounts of child trafficking, torture, rape and murder,” according to the Substack note attributed to her [2].
4. How the material has been treated by other outlets and social media
Social posts and forum threads amplified the files and directed readers to Voldeng’s Substack, with users assembling timelines and derivative documents based directly on the unredacted audio she posted; for example, Threads users and forum posts link to the Substack audio and to timelines compiled from the testimony [6] [5] [7]. News summaries and aggregator outlets described the audio as “going viral” while noting the lack of independent corroboration and the extraordinary nature of the allegations [3] [4].
5. Verification status and caveats reported by others
Multiple news outlets that covered the spread of the recordings explicitly state the testimonies remain unverified and that they have not independently confirmed the authenticity of the tapes or the claims made within them; Hindustan Times, for example, notes it has not independently verified the tapes posted from Voldeng’s Substack [1], and other reporting similarly flags the absence of court or law‑enforcement confirmation as of publication [4].
6. Competing narratives and potential agendas around publication
There are at least two competing impulses visible in the coverage: one is an effort by Voldeng and amplifiers to publicize alleged survivor testimony in full as a matter of bearing witness and urgency (as reflected in Voldeng’s own framing of the recordings) [2], and the other is journalistic and institutional caution that stresses verification and the risk of circulating uncorroborated, highly damaging claims; social‑media actors compiling timelines or pushing political frames could benefit from rapid dissemination even while mainstream outlets emphasize verification gaps [6] [7] [1].
7. Limits of available reporting and what remains unknown
The public record assembled in these sources documents that Lisa Noelle Voldeng published audio and transcripts attributed to Sascha Riley on Substack and that those files have been widely shared, but the available reporting does not provide independent forensic verification of the recordings, nor confirm Riley’s identity or the factual accuracy of the allegations beyond the posted material itself; reporting therefore can describe the publication and its circulation but cannot verify the underlying criminal claims [2] [1] [4].
