Years after Jeffrey Epstein's death, the newly released files by the US Department of Justice have brought focus on the woman described as his longtime girlfriend,Karyna Shuliak.

Shuliak, a Belarus-born dentist who graduated from Columbia University's College of Dental Medicine in 2015, was allegedly in a relationship with Epstein from roughly 2010 until his arrest in 2019.

While many images in the Justice Department files are heavily redacted to protect victims, some photos have reportedly turned out to be Shuliak's. In addition to the redacted images, there were pre-existing visuals of Shuliak that have circulated in media reports and online discussions.

One of the most widely published images shows Epstein with his arm around Shuliak at a formal dinner in April 2014. The pair is seated closely together, smiling at the camera.

The photo has appeared in multiple reports on their relationship and is often cited as evidence that she attended social events with him years after his 2008 conviction.

Photographers captured Epstein and Shuliak together in New York during their relationship. In these shots, they appear walking side by side in everyday clothing, offering a glimpse into their life outside formal events.

Many on social media have pointed to an image described as a 'dancing girl in red,' with some users speculating the woman is Shuliak. The video was first circulated with the redacted version, where the girl's face was blurred.

However, an unredacted version of the same video is now available on social media, apparently showing Shuliak dancing with Epstein. The DOJ has not confirmed the woman as Shuliak for now.
