A new and deeply disturbing collection of images from the estate of the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has been made public, shedding further light on the grim world he operated. The release includes photos of women's bodies inscribed with quotes from the controversial novel Lolita, as well as pictures featuring prominent figures like Bill Gates and Woody Allen.
Shocking Imagery and Literary References
The latest batch, part of a vast collection of 95,000 unseen images, contains particularly vile content. One set of photos shows an unidentified woman's body parts with quotes from Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita scrawled across them. The novel details a middle-aged man's sexual obsession with a young girl. In one image, the text "Lo-lee-ta: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth" is visible on a woman's chest. Another shows a woman's back with the words "She was Dolores on the dotted line." A copy of the book itself is pictured in the background of some photos.
This connection is not coincidental. Epstein's private Boeing 727 jet, which ferried high-profile guests around the world, was infamously nicknamed the "Lolita Express." Flight logs have previously listed passengers including former US Presidents Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, and Britain's Prince Andrew.
High-Profile Figures in the Frame
The newly released documents also place several famous individuals in Epstein's orbit through photographs. Microsoft founder Bill Gates appears in two photos standing next to women whose faces have been redacted. Gates has previously admitted that associating with the financier for philanthropy was a "huge mistake."
Other notable figures captured in the cache include:
- Film director Woody Allen, who is seen with Epstein's arm around him at a gathering and at a dinner with the financier.
- Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and businessman Thomas Pritzker at a dinner where magician David Blaine performed.
- Renowned linguistics professor Noam Chomsky, pictured alongside Epstein on a private flight.
It is crucial to note that these photos do not implicate these individuals in Epstein's crimes. They merely document associations and social interactions.
Passports, Messages, and a Pattern of Control
Beyond the photos of people, the files contain chilling evidence suggestive of Epstein's trafficking operations. Images show several passports and identity documents belonging to women from countries including Ukraine, Russia, Lithuania, Czech Republic, and South Africa. All identifying details have been blacked out.
Victims testified during Ghislaine Maxwell's trial that she would confiscate passports from girls on Epstein's private island, a method of control common in human trafficking. The presence of these documents in his files adds weight to those claims.
Also included is a screenshot of text messages where an unknown sender references an "18-year-old from Russia" and mentions a price of "1000$ per girl." One message states, "I will send u girls now," followed by, "Maybe someone will be good for J?"
Other mundane yet telling items photographed include medicine for a urinary tract infection and Epstein's own passport, issued four months before his 2019 arrest. The passport bears a notice identifying him as a registered sex offender convicted of a crime against a minor.
This release follows a previous one from last week that showed Epstein with Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and other powerful figures. The continuous unveiling of documents paints an increasingly detailed and sordid picture of the network surrounding Jeffrey Epstein, even years after his death in a New York jail in 2019.
