A trove of documents related to convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has been released by the US justice department. The cache includes thousands of files, featuring photographs of the late financier and his accomplice, British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, alongside some of the most prominent figures of the last century.
The images illustrate the relationships Epstein and Maxwell forged with royalty, politicians, musicians, and actors. Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year jail sentence for child sex trafficking, while Epstein died in prison in 2019 while awaiting trial. He had previously been convicted of child sex offences in a separate case in 2008.
The released documents shed light on the extensive network of powerful individuals connected to Epstein and Maxwell, though no new allegations of wrongdoing against those pictured have been made public at this time.
