Who is Alicia in the Epstein files?

There is no single Alicia. The name covers several unrelated people in different roles. The most notable is Alicia Valle of the U.S. Attorney's Office in Southern Florida, who appears in press-related emails about the Epstein prosecution. Others are medical-office staff (Alicia Gonzales and Alicia Aracena) who scheduled care for Epstein, and an FBI employee named Alicia Wagner.

What did Alicia Valle do in the Epstein case?

She appears to have handled media inquiries for the USAFLS. Prosecutors forwarded her press requests, including a Newsweek question in July 2011 and a request for an on-camera interview from WPBF TV in 2009. A 2010 request for comment on Epstein was addressed to her, and a 2011 email from Alex Acosta was sent to Benjamin Greenberg with her copied. The documents show her coordinating responses, not making decisions about the case.

Why do Alicia and Lesley Groff appear together so often?

Lesley Groff, who worked as Epstein's assistant, arranged his medical appointments. In 2016 she wrote to Alicia Gonzales about his care with Dr. Jess Ting. In 2017 she wrote to Alicia Aracena at Columbia University Medical Center. The emails cover paperwork, medical release forms, copays and appointment times.

Is the Alicia in these documents the same person throughout?

No. The documents refer to at least five people named Alicia: Valle, Gonzales, Aracena, Wagner and Barnes. They work in different organizations and are mentioned in unrelated contexts, so the name's high document count does not point to one person's involvement.

Watch: Alicia in the Epstein files

1:10

Narrated from the AI-generated summary of the documents. Numbers reflect the archive at generation time.

"Alicia" is a first name shared by several unrelated people in the files, not one person. The most substantive ones are Alicia Valle, who handled press inquiries at the U.S. Attorney's Office in Southern Florida (USAFLS) during the Epstein case, and two medical-office staffers who scheduled appointments for Jeffrey Epstein in 2016 and 2017.

Most of the 354 documents are emails, and 89 have an Alicia in the From/To/Cc header. The largest group is Lesley Groff's scheduling correspondence with an "Alicia Gonzales" in Dr. Jess Ting's office in November and December 2016. A second group is Groff's exchanges with "Alicia Aracena" at Columbia University Medical Center in October 2017, about getting Epstein seen by a Dr. Said. Separately, Alicia Valle (USAFLS) is copied on or addressed in 2009–2011 federal prosecutor emails about media requests, including Newsweek and a WPBF TV interview request. The remaining mentions are one-off appearances: an FBI agent named Alicia A. Wagner, an Alicia Barnes, an assistant's reference in a Gloria Allred office email, and OCR fragments in House Oversight pages.

Key Highlights

•Alicia Valle (USAFLS) appears in 2009–2011 U.S. Attorney's Office emails about press handling. In one, a prosecutor forwards a Newsweek email and says to "respond as the Office sees fit." In a July 2010 email, a persistent reporter's request for comment on Epstein is addressed to her. In 2011, Alex Acosta's "FYI" was sent to Benjamin Greenberg with her copied.
•In November and December 2016, Lesley Groff corresponded with Alicia Gonzales about Epstein's care with Dr. Jess Ting. These emails include a patient authorization/medical release forwarded on Dec. 16, 2016, and group scheduling threads that include Dr. Ting's colleagues.
•In October 2017, Alicia Aracena at Columbia University Medical Center told Groff, "We will be in touch soon — I just emailed Rami Said regarding scheduling Jeffrey for today." Groff later asked another staffer to confirm the location, writing that she had not heard back from Alicia.
•Alicia A. Wagner of the FBI's Denver office was asked in 2019 to help an Epstein victim in Colorado, including with TSA/ID issues for travel. A separate 2021 FBI email thread has an "Alicia" arranging an appointment.
•A February 2011 email chain shows Cecile de Jongh telling an Alicia Barnes that Epstein was willing to fly to St. Croix to meet her.
•Most of the same names appear across these threads (Groff, Ting, Karyna Shuliak). The "Alberto Gonzales" connection in the statistics likely comes from the "Gonzales, Alicia" surname and is probably not the former Attorney General.
•Almost all the mentions are administrative: scheduling, press handling, logistics. The files do not show these Alicias doing anything wrong.
