Details from Jeffrey Epstein’s storage lockers have come to light, with an inventory describing a number of troubling items linked to the convicted sex offender’s Florida property.
In late January, the Department of Justice released roughly 3,000,000 pages of material connected to Epstein, adding further information to the public record around the case.
The document dump also referenced hundreds of individuals, with names ranging from Whoopi Goldberg and Elon Musk to Zayn Malik and Emma Thompson.
It’s also important to stress that appearing in the files does not automatically indicate anyone committed wrongdoing.
Separately, the Telegraph reported on an inventory list it obtained, which set out what was allegedly discovered inside one of Epstein’s hidden storage units.
According to the report, the inventory spans three pages and includes references to a list of masseuses, letters, VHS tapes, and DVDs described as inappropriate and focused on teens, all linked to the Palm Beach residence.
The Telegraph further claimed the contents included sex toys and nude photographs that may depict some of Epstein’s alleged victims.
The unit is said to be one of six storage locations Epstein maintained around the US, which the outlet reported he rented over a 16-year period.
As outlined in the report, credit card records are said to show he began paying for storage units in 2003, with the belief that he continued using some of them up until 2019, the year he died.
It’s thought the belongings sat in storage for years, though it remains uncertain whether the FBI knew about the items while building a case against Epstein prior to his death.
The FBI has not said whether any of the units were searched. The Telegraph also reported that Epstein paid private investigators to move items out of the Palm Beach home and into a secret locker to prevent law enforcement from discovering them.
The update follows a response from Stephen Hawking’s estate after an image of the late cosmologist surfaced as part of the Epstein files.
In the photograph, Hawking is seen holding a cocktail while posing with two women wearing bikinis.
After the picture was published, Hawking’s family issued a statement identifying the women shown in the image.
They told The Mirror: “Professor Hawking made some of the greatest contributions to physics in the 20th century while at the same time being the longest-known survivor of motor neurone disease, a debilitating condition which left him reliant on a ventilator, voice synthesiser, wheelchair and round-the-clock medical care.
“Any insinuation of inappropriate conduct on his part is wrong and far-fetched in the extreme.”
