Trump was in charge of measuring genitals
Executive summary
Multiple news outlets reported that newly surfaced items from the Jeffrey Epstein-related records include an anonymous complaint alleging that Donald Trump “measured the children’s vulva and vaginas by entering a finger and rated the children on tightness,” but those allegations come from unverified complainants in the released files rather than from a court verdict or corroborated investigation [1] [2]. The Department of Justice and the White House have indicated that some claims in the release were sensational and untrue, and the material has been described in reporting as removed or categorised by officials as not credible [3] [4].
1. Reports and specific allegation: what was published
A cluster of British and U.S. tabloid and mainstream titles summarised a complaint in the Epstein-related documents in which an anonymous writer described alleged “calendar girls” parties and wrote that Trump physically measured minors’ genitals by inserting a finger and rating “tightness,” language that has been repeated across multiple outlets including The Express, Mirror, IBTimes, WION, TMZ and others [1] [5] [2] [6] [7].
2. Where the claim lives in the record: an unverified complaint, not a court finding
The story as reported stems from unsealed or publicly released items tied to the Epstein case—complaints, emails and tips forwarded to the FBI’s National Threat Operations Centre—rather than from judicial findings that have been tested in court; publishers consistently characterise the material as allegations in the files and not proven facts [2] [8].
3. Official responses and the question of credibility
Reporting notes the White House pushed back, calling such specific claims unfounded, and various DOJ comments tied to earlier releases warned that some documents contained “untrue and sensationalist” claims submitted to the FBI, language cited in the coverage as context for questioning credibility [3] [9]. Some pieces also report that portions of the release mentioning these allegations were later removed or vanished from DOJ-hosted pages, and screenshots and cached copies circulated widely [4] [10].
4. Alternative viewpoints and likely agendas in circulation
News outlets and commentators offered competing frames: some present the complaints as disturbing leads warranting investigation, while others emphasise their unverified character and the political stakes of repeating explosive allegations about a sitting president; media that are editorially hostile to Trump amplify the seriousness, while pro-Trump sources label them false or weaponised [1] [3]. The timing and partial rescinding of some posted documents have been used by both sides—critics to argue cover-up, defenders to argue sloppiness or political attack [4] [10].
5. What the reporting does not — and cannot — show from these sources
The assembled coverage does not demonstrate corroboration beyond the single anonymous complaint excerpts published by outlets, nor does it cite a criminal charge, conviction or verified victim testimony substantiated through independent investigative reporting; the sources themselves reiterate that the claims were part of a larger tranche of tips and allegations of varying credibility [2] [8]. Absent new, independently verified evidence or prosecutorial action cited in these reports, asserting that Trump “was in charge of measuring genitals” would overstate what the available documents establish [1] [7].
6. Bottom line: direct answer
The direct answer is that reporting shows an unverified complaint in Epstein-related documents alleging that Trump measured children’s genitals, but there is no corroborated, adjudicated or publicly validated proof presented in these sources that Trump “was in charge of measuring genitals”; officials and outlets explicitly flag the claims as unverified or sensational, and some references were removed from the DOJ release [2] [3] [4]. These sources show allegation, denial and dispute, not judicially established fact.
