The Epstein photos they never wanted you to see… and the clues the pedophile left in his Manhattan lair
The Jeffrey Epstein files have set off a wave of public outrage around the world and the photo evidence is among the most shocking in the tranche of three million documents released by the Justice Department.
One image in particular shows former prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor looming over a young woman sprawled on the floor – a photograph that has proved more ruinous to its subject than any other in the cache.
The 66-year-old was arrested Thursday over allegedly supplying Epstein with trade secrets, becoming the first member of the royal family to be detained since 1647.
Other photos show Epstein in intimate settings with political titans: Donald Trump and the financier chat with a supermodel, Bill Clinton swims with Epstein’s co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell and Steve Bannon poses for a selfie.
Then there are more disturbing moments. Epstein cackles as he chases young women around his kitchen, and in another a woman appears to writhe in his arms as he gropes her backside.
In his sprawling New York mansion, Epstein left not-so-subtle clues about his perversions. The home, visited by the likes of Bill Gates and Woody Allen, featured nude paintings of children, statues of little girls and a massage room decorated with erotic artwork.
The images were kept sealed by the Justice Department after Epstein was found hanged in a Manhattan jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
Below are the most shocking images from files released by the DOJ and Congress over the last three months. The photos are not evidence of wrongdoing by the individuals.
ANDREW

The release of 180,000 images showed Andrew crouching over a woman on the floor and reclining across the laps of several redacted individuals while Maxwell looked on.
The images intensified public outcry in Britain over his relationship with the pedophile.
The public and political pressure led King Charles to authorize his brother’s eviction from Royal Lodge, his mansion on the grounds of Windsor Castle.
Andrew was arrested on Thursday by British police after Justice Department files suggested he shared confidential information with his pedophile friend, including reports of his official visits and potential investment opportunities. He has not been charged with any crime.

MANHATTAN TOWNHOUSE
Among the most unsettling images released by the DOJ is a life-sized bronze sculpture of a woman or girl dressed in a bridal gown.
Epstein had the statue suspended by a rope from the ceiling of his Manhattan mansion’s central atrium.
The pedophile also kept an oil painting depicting an aroused boy surrounded by naked women and filled his massage room with erotic artwork.
One of the home’s many bathrooms had a photo of two young boys grabbing the front of their underwear and looking down at their private parts.
The photos were taken by the FBI in 2019 after Epstein was arrested at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey on charges of trafficking underage girls for sex.

TRUMP CHATS TO MODEL WITH EPSTEIN
Trump is seen chatting with Belgian supermodel Ingrid Seynhaeve, then 23, at a Victoria’s Secret party at Manhattan’s now-closed Laura Belle club in April 1997, with Epstein at his side.
The image was among 19 photos released by Democratic lawmakers from the disgraced financier’s estate in December, as the DOJ faced mounting pressure to release the full files.
Separate agency images from the same 1997 event had previously shown Trump, then 50, alongside Seynhaeve, but the newly released shot is the first from that night to emerge directly from Epstein’s estate.
It is not clear why Epstein kept the photo, but the same image was published in the 2016 book Filthy Rich, James Patterson’s bestselling exposé of Epstein’s crimes and elite network.

EPSTEIN WITH ‘TODDLER’
Epstein is joined by a child in one of the photos where he is seen shirtless smiling at the camera. He appears to have a white towel wrapped around his waist and is seated on a couch.
The little leg and foot, encased in a black sneaker, were so small that many theorized they belonged to a toddler.
The image could be innocent, but its inclusion alongside so much evidence of sex trafficking sparked outrage.

STEVE BANNON
Epstein and Bannon had a professional relationship during 2018 and 2019, when the political strategist provided media coaching and advice to the pedophile on rehabilitating his public image.
A video released by the DOJ shows the MAGA firebrand interviewing Epstein about his life and work, as well as his time in jail following his conviction for soliciting prostitution from a minor in 2008.
The closeness of their relationship had not been reported before the release of the files, which included emails in which the pair shared their disdain for Trump, who fired Bannon during his first term.
Bannon has said he will release a movie later this year based on unreleased tapes of his Epstein interviews, amid increasing pressure to explain the nature of their relationship.

CHILLING PHOTO ON EPSTEIN’S DESK
A photo prominently displayed on Epstein’s desk sparked speculation that it showed an incapacitated woman when it was released in December.
Epstein is seated at his desk opposite Bannon at his Manhattan townhouse.
A framed picture on the right corner of the desk facing toward Epstein appears to show a person lying down. A black box has been placed over their face to protect their identity.
The image’s contents cannot be definitively determined, but lurid claims exploded on social media with commenters calling it ‘very disturbing’, as well as ‘vile and disgusting.’

LOLITA DRAWINGS
One set of photographs showed an unidentified woman’s body parts inscribed with passages from Vladimir Nabokov’s Lolita, a novel about a middle-aged man’s sexual obsession with a 12-year-old girl, with a copy of the book visible in the background.
The foot has the line: ‘She was Lo, plain Lo, in the morning, standing four feet ten in one sock.’
On the chest: ‘Lo-lee-ta: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth.’
On her spine: ‘She was Dolores on the dotted line.’

CLINTON
Bill Clinton had a well-documented friendship with Epstein throughout the 1990s and early 2000s.
Multiple images depict the former president in casual or social settings with Epstein’s circle, including one showing him in a hot tub with a woman whose face was redacted and another featuring him in a swimming pool with Maxwell.
Another photo shows Clinton with an unidentified woman on a private jet. Clinton has said he only traveled with Epstein for charitable work.
The 79-year-old is due to testify alongside his wife Hillary before the House Oversight Committee next week over their relationship with Epstein, having fought to avoid appearing before the panel on the grounds that the Republican majority is targeting them for political reasons.

EPSTEIN’S HIDDEN CAMERA
Epstein kept a hidden camera that caught him with young women in his Florida home office, recently released DOJ footage shows.
The grainy clips show a clear view of the pedophile’s desk, with some videos even showing Epstein sitting behind it. In several of the videos, people appear to sit on or around his desk.
In one disturbing clip, an unknown woman appears to be kneeling next to Epstein, who is shown with his feet resting on the desk.
It is unclear when the footage was recorded, but in 2005, police raided Epstein’s Palm Beach mansion and discovered a camera inside a clock hidden in his office, and found another in his garage.
Several of Epstein’s victims have said they believed the disgraced financier maintained a vast network of recording devices across his homes, fueling speculation that he was amassing damaging material on the powerful figures in his circle.

EPSTEIN CHASES GIRLS
Epstein is seen laughing as he chases two young women around the kitchen of his Little Saint James mansion as part of a the files.
The convicted sex offender, dressed in a white polo shirt, sweatpants and slippers, pursues the screaming women before jumping up onto a kitchen counter and lunging at one of them.
The women’s faces have been blurred to protect their identities. It is not clear when the footage was filmed or who recorded it.

DENTAL CHAIR AND MASKS
Among the most bizarre images from the latest cache: Epstein’s private dentist chair, in a room decorated solely by 11 male faces mounted on the walls.
Officials have not commented on whether the faces depict specific individuals or whether they served a functional purpose.

LORD PETER MANDELSON
The top levels of the British government were rocked beyond the Andrew scandal by veteran Labour politician Lord Peter Mandelson’s friendship with Epstein.
Mandelson was fired as UK Ambassador to the US late last year and resigned from parliament in February 2026.
He maintained a close friendship with Epstein for years after the financier’s conviction.
Mandelson’s homes were raided by British police over allegations he leaked sensitive government information and market-sensitive documents to Epstein while serving as Business Secretary.

BILL GATES
Gates was a regular visitor to Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse and maintained a relationship with the pedophile for years despite his 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a minor, with the pair photographed together in 2011.
The new files alleged Gates asked Epstein to help him secretly slip his then-wife Melinda an antibiotic to treat a sexually transmitted disease he had contracted from Russian girls.
Gates denied the claims, with a spokesman saying they were ‘absolutely absurd and completely false.’
Melinda, who divorced the Microsoft founder in 2021 citing his friendship with Epstein and his alleged affairs, has since said those named in the files have ‘some explaining to do.’

The files included multiple new images of Epstein and Gates together
WOODY ALLEN
Allen, 90, was a regular at Epstein’s Manhattan home, with the filmmaker and his wife Soon-Yi Previn making frequent visits to the pedophile’s home.
The DOJ files revealed Epstein bankrolled Allen’s family, paying $15,000 to a Upper East Side girls’ school to ensure his 16-year-old adopted daughter Manzie would ‘definitely graduate,’ and pulling strings to get his other daughter Bechet into Bard College.
The school later returned the money after learning of its connection to Epstein.
Files also showed Epstein contacting a photographer on Allen’s behalf in search of a young woman, aged between 20 and 24, to cast in a comedy.
Epstein regularly hosted famous friends at his residences, including Woody Allen, who often attended gatherings at the financier’s Upper East Side townhouse
