About PedoPeddlers

PedoPeddlers is a public-interest accountability platform that presents sourced, chronological timelines documenting how specific U.S. government officials deflected, obstructed, or suppressed transparency regarding the Jeffrey Epstein files.

Why This Exists

Between January 2025 and March 2026, the Trump administration promised full transparency on the Epstein files, then spent 10 months resisting release until a 427–1 congressional vote forced action. The resulting document dumps were plagued by botched redactions that exposed over 100 victims' identities while protecting alleged co-conspirators.

Despite 77% of Americans wanting all Epstein files released (Marist, September 2025), no single resource existed that presented the full chronological pattern of obstruction in a structured, navigable, and source-verified format. PedoPeddlers fills that gap.

Our Standards

  • Every claim is sourced to primary records (DOJ press releases, congressional transcripts, official statements) or verified secondary reporting.
  • We do not assert that any individual committed a crime. We document what officials said, did, and failed to do.
  • Any factual error reported is corrected within 24 hours with a visible correction notice.
  • All data is open source and publicly auditable on GitHub.

The .pedo Data Format

Timeline data is stored in .pedo files — structured JSON documents that follow a published schema. Anyone can contribute new profiles or improve existing ones by submitting pull requests to our GitHub repository. Every contribution undergoes automated validation and editorial review before publication.
