Executive summary

Available reporting in the provided collection confirms that some of Jeffrey Epstein’s victims signed nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) with him or his associates, but the specific names of those victims and the exact years each NDA was executed are not comprehensively listed in these sources [1]. News coverage in 2025 focuses on releases of Epstein-related documents and calls to disclose files, rather than providing a catalog of victim NDAs and dates [2] [3] [4].

1. The broad fact: NDAs existed in the Epstein ecosystem

Multiple accounts and legal analyses note that Epstein and people around him used NDAs in civil settlements and that “some of the victims apparently signed NDAs as well,” establishing that confidentiality agreements were part of how claims were resolved [1]. Legal commentary in the provided materials explains that NDAs are commonly used in settlements involving sexual abuse claims and that they sometimes contain carve-outs (e.g., testimony if subpoenaed) or face enforceability challenges [1].

2. What the oversight and recent document dumps cover — and what they don’t

The House Oversight Committee and other actors released thousands of pages of Epstein estate and DOJ-related materials in 2025, spurring debate over transparency and victim privacy [2] [3]. Those releases and accompanying news coverage prioritized emails, contact lists and investigative files, rather than producing a definitive, publicly shared table that matches individual victims to the NDAs they signed and dates of execution [2] [5] [3] [4]. The BBC and other outlets reporting on victims’ calls for files emphasize that disclosures so far “do not mention any client list or anything that improves transparency” for victims in some respects [6].

3. Why news reports emphasize victim privacy and redactions

Lawmakers pushing for release of the Epstein files have explicitly signaled that victim-identifying information may be withheld or redacted to protect survivors, which complicates assembling a public list of who signed NDAs and when [7]. Congressional debate and votes in November 2025 centered on balancing transparency about associates and wrongdoing with statutory and ethical protections for victims named in records [3] [4].

4. Legal commentary on enforceability — context, not a roster

A legal blog included among the sources discusses how NDAs function in sexual-assault settlement contexts and notes that many NDAs include clauses permitting compliance with subpoenas and that some NDAs may be legally unenforceable when they cover criminal conduct [1]. That analysis provides context for why victims, lawyers, prosecutors and Congress are focused on whether NDAs can or should block disclosure, but it does not identify which victims signed which agreements or the execution dates [1].

5. Victim advocates asking for full files, not just summaries

Survivor groups and some victims pressed Congress and the DOJ to release the remaining investigative files to provide clarity on Epstein’s network and the full scope of wrongdoing; several public campaigns in late 2025 called for complete transparency so survivors can see what investigators know [8] [6]. Those advocacy efforts are partly motivated by limits of prior releases, which have not provided an authoritative public accounting of NDAs tied to specific victims [8] [6].

6. What the current reporting does name (and what it doesn’t)

The documents and emails that were publicly discussed in November 2025 include exchanges referencing victims and public figures, and some releases implicated high-profile contacts — which intensified political debate — but the publicly highlighted materials are not presented as a comprehensive ledger of settlement NDAs with execution dates [9] [5] [10]. The provided sources do not supply a complete list that pairs named victims with NDA execution years; therefore, that specific query is not answerable from these items alone [2] [1].

7. Competing perspectives and implicit agendas in the record

Republican and Democratic actors in Congress have used document releases in politically charged ways: Democrats published some emails to press for transparency, while House Republicans and the White House have argued over motives and victim privacy, with the White House contesting some implications in released emails [5] [11] [12]. Victim-advocacy groups emphasize disclosure of records for accountability; some lawmakers emphasize redaction to protect survivors — these stances reflect differing priorities [8] [7] [4].

8. Bottom line and what to watch next

Available sources confirm that NDAs were part of Epstein-era settlements and that some victims signed them, but do not provide a publicly releasable, source-cited roster of which victims signed NDAs and the years those agreements were executed [1] [2]. Watch forthcoming releases from the House Oversight Committee, the DOJ, and survivor legal teams for more granular records; current reporting shows debate and document dumps in November 2025 but not the specific NDA-by-victim, by-year accounting you requested [2] [3] [4].
