Who is Lisa Noelle Voldeng and what other materials has she published related to Epstein‑era allegations?
Executive summary
Lisa Noelle Voldeng is a Canadian Substack writer who publishes the newsletter Outlaws of Chivalry and drew wide attention after posting unverified audio recordings of a man identified as Sasha (or Sascha) Riley alleging abuse tied to Jeffrey Epstein’s network; her Substack lists her as based on Vancouver Island and frames her work in broad, literary terms [1] [2]. The recordings — released in a November 23, 2025 Substack post titled “Don’t Worry, Boys are Hard to Find” according to reporting — and Voldeng’s account that she conducted phone interviews in July 2025 have become a locus of debate because the allegations are serious but remain unverified by independent authorities [3] [4] [5].
1. Who is Lisa Noelle Voldeng: a brief profile and platform
Voldeng is publicly identified as the Substack author behind Outlaws of Chivalry, a newsletter described on her site as spanning “every sweep of civilization, and beyond,” and media reporting places her on Vancouver Island, Canada [1] [2]. Multiple outlets note that she has a visible Substack presence and that the audio files and accompanying post were published from her account, which propelled her into the spotlight when the recordings went viral [6] [2].
2. The Sasha/Sascha Riley recordings: what Voldeng released and how she described obtaining them
Reporting says Voldeng published six unredacted audio files of interviews with a man identified as Sascha (or Sasha) Riley and that she claims to have conducted telephone interviews between July 19 and July 24, 2025; she also wrote that she “selectively contacted allies, church, police, and government officials” after speaking with him and that Riley was moved out of the U.S. when the FBI allegedly contacted him [3] [4] [7]. Media coverage uniformly stresses that the tapes and the allegations they contain — which name several high‑profile figures — have not been independently verified [1] [6] [8].
3. Other Epstein‑era materials Voldeng has published or promoted
The record in the supplied reporting centers on the November 2025 Substack post and the accompanying unedited audio files of Riley; outlets cite that the recordings and the Substack posting are the materials that drew attention, and no additional distinct investigative dossiers or prior Epstein-related exposés by Voldeng are identified in these sources [3] [2] [6]. Sources repeatedly describe her role as the host/publisher of the Riley interviews rather than a long-established Epstein investigator with a documented archive of corroborating evidence [2] [5].
4. Reception, scrutiny and alternative readings in the press
News organizations and analysts have urged caution: mainstream coverage emphasizes the lack of independent verification and warns against treating the tape content as established fact [1] [4] [2]. Critical commentary, including an opinion piece that scrutinizes both Riley’s story and Voldeng’s presentation, argues the material may be incorrect or inadequately corroborated and suggests Voldeng may be aware of how thin the evidentiary trail is — an alternative viewpoint that frames the publication as potentially premature or sensational [3].
5. Possible motives, implicit agendas and the public interest argument
Voldeng has defended publication as being “in the public interest” and framed the release as a warning and a call for accountability while saying she reached out to authorities and allies after the interviews, which she presents as a protective and civic-minded rationale for going public [8] [7]. Observers and outlets, however, flag the reputational stakes for named figures and note how viral distribution on social platforms can amplify unverified claims; that tension—between public‑interest disclosure and the risk of spreading uncorroborated allegations—is central to debates about Voldeng’s decision to publish [8] [2].
6. Bottom line: what can be said, and what remains unknown
It is verifiable from the reporting that Lisa Noelle Voldeng is the Substack author who posted the Riley audio files and that she says she conducted interviews in July 2025 and contacted authorities afterward; it is likewise clear that major outlets regard the tapes and allegations as unverified and have not found corroboration in the unsealed Epstein files to date [3] [5] [1]. The supplied sources do not document an expanded Epstein-era investigative portfolio by Voldeng beyond the Riley interviews and Substack post, and they leave unresolved key evidentiary questions about the recordings’ authenticity and supporting records, which independent investigators or law enforcement would need to confirm [2] [4].
