Skepchick, the feminist skeptic blog founded by Rebecca Watson, appears in the files only through a single email thread. In it, a writer signing off "-R" says they will write about the topic on Skepchick and offers to include any further statement from the recipient. The thread is duplicated across 15 documents.
All 15 mentions are copies of the same email passage. The writer says Epstein was "kind and generous with his friends but still a criminal paying for sex with underage girls in his private life." They add: "I'm going to write about the topic on Skepchick, and I'll include any additional statement you'd like if you want to provide more context or if you've changed your mind." The thread appears in the House Oversight set (HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_030895 through 031079) and in three EFTA documents (EFTA00628940, 628945, 628950). The files show no emails sent to or from Skepchick itself, and no legal, financial, travel or government records mention it. The repeated hits come from one thread being filed many times, not from many separate events.
Key Highlights
- •Every mention comes from one email passage that is reproduced in 15 documents. The files show one exchange, not 15.
- •The writer, signing as "-R", says they intend to publish on Skepchick and invites a further statement from the recipient. The files tie this to Rebecca Watson, who founded the site, but the passage itself shows only the initial.
- •The passage describes Epstein as "kind and generous with his friends but still a criminal paying for sex with underage girls in his private life." That is the writer's characterization, not a finding of the files.
- •Skepchick is a media outlet in this context. The files show it as the place where a journalist or blogger planned to publish, not as a participant in Epstein's circle.
- •The archive has no direct correspondence with Skepchick and no non-email records that mention it.
