A mysterious ‘Sonam Dema’ and ‘Tsering Dolma’ appear repeatedly in the recent Epstein files. These names appear numerous times in the email exchanges between them and their employers. The US Department of Justice released the last largest collection of the files on 30th January 2026, saying it included some 3 million pages, 2,000 videos, and about 180,000 images. In the repository, the name ‘Sonam Dema’ appears in over 1,200 files. All the files are available for the public on the official DOJ website which was also accessed by this reporter. Based on employment records and email exchanges, Sonam Dema was identified to be housekeeping staff for Jeffrey Epstein. This is evident in the many emails Sonam Dema sends. It includes ordinary responses such as, “Apartment 8A is cleaned and ready for next guest” and “Hi Apt 10B is cleaned and ready for next guest.” One email shows that Sonam Dema was recommended and referred to a Karyna Shuliak (employer), for the position of housekeeper by the second Bhutanese name which is a Tshering Dolma. Tsering Dolma, according to the files, was a Placement Specialist for an Employment agency which employs various staff such as nannies and housekeeping. The resume of Sonam Dema is also in the released files. The mysterious figure proclaims that she graduated from the Royal University of Bhutan, with a Bachelors in Business Administration (BBA). The resume shows that Sonam Dema was an individual looking for a job as a housekeeper. Her skill sets and strengths are tied with household chores such as cleaning, cooking, and babysitting. For context, Jeffrey Epstein was an American financier and a convicted sex offender who moved in power circles and famed individuals involving politicians, billionaires, celebrities and others. Epstein trafficked underage girls to his island which netizens call “Epstein’s Island,” and other places. According to international sources, Epstein was accused of operating a huge sex trafficking network of young women and underage girls as young as 14. There are also conspiracies that he worked with other influential people to initiate these crimes. One of the most notable individuals involved are Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s associate, convicted in 2021 for sex trafficking and helping him procure minors. Others such as Donald Trump, Bill Gates, and Elon Musk also appear in the files, though most of them have not been charged with any crimes and many have denied involvement with Epstein’s nefarious activities. According to Courthouse News Service, an international news agency, one of Epstein’s full-time staffers called Juan Alessi also served as a housekeeper in his Palm Beach mansion. Alessi testified that Epstein scheduled three massage appointments in one day. Maxwell, who was Epstein’s co-conspirator, set stern protocols to Alessi and the employees working in the mansion. “Remember that you see nothing, hear nothing, say nothing, except to answer any question directed toward you,” Alessi testified. When asked about whether he saw any young girls in the mansion, the senior housekeeper answered that he remembered seeing only two young girls, presumably under the age of 14 or 15. Additionally, he also noted seeing obnoxious sex toys when tasked to clean the massage room. Epstein was also known to send his employees on paid vacations. An email shows that Sonam Dema was also granted a vacation fully paid by Epstein. The email says, “Hi, can you please ask Mr Epstein if I can go on vacation from November 12-18? I’d like to go to California. Thank you.” “Jeffrey said YES and he will pay!!” came the reply. While Epstein was widely known for his atrocious crimes as a sex offender, there are no criminal records or any valid proof in the files that accuse Sonam Dema and Tsering Dolma of any crimes, nor having any association with Epstein’s activities. This reporter also accessed a website called Jmail (jmail.world) which consists of all of Epstein’s redacted emails, images, and files made to mimic a Gmail format.
