A trove of documents related to the child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has been released by the US Justice Department. The cache, comprising thousands of files, contains photographs of the late financier and his accomplice, British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, alongside some of the most significant figures from the last century.
The images help 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 was previously convicted of child sex offences in a separate case in 2008.
The newly released photographs have drawn attention to the extensive network of influential individuals connected to Epstein and Maxwell. The documents provide further insight into the social circles they cultivated over decades.
