A significant amount of Amazon orders made by Jeffrey Epstein over several years have been disclosed as part of files pertaining to the convicted sex offender by the Department of Justice (DOJ).
The revealed Amazon order history includes a selection of books that Epstein purchased between 2014 and 2019, providing a troubling look into the mind of the former financier.
Among his purchases were various novels by Russian author Vladimir Nabokov, such as Lolita, a story about a man who moves into a woman’s home and becomes disturbingly obsessed with a 12-year-old girl, leading to her repeated abuse and tragic end.
Photographs included in the Epstein files show women with quotes from Lolita inscribed on their bodies.
Another book Epstein acquired was the 1791 novel Justine by the Marquis de Sade, known for its graphic depiction of rape and torture.
In addition, the sex offender, who died by suicide in 2019, bought a novel called The Stranger Beside Me, a memoir by Ann Rule about serial killer Ted Bundy.
Beyond books, the files reveal other unsettling items Epstein purchased over five years, including girls’ school uniforms sent to his East 71st Street property in 2018.
The files also show a receipt for a $61.50 Sonic prostate massager and $64.95 Vagifirm vaginal tightening pills.
Relational trauma psychologist Desiree Nazarian commented on the unsettling purchase history to the New York Post, stating: “The presence of these child-coded items alongside these sexual tools is so clinically alarming.”
“Everything on this list is really common in predatory profiles. It’s marked by coercion, entitlement, dominance and control of narrative,” she added.
Records also indicate that Epstein purchased a $34 black-and-white prisoner’s costume in 2018, as well as an FBI costume, a pair of Israel Defense Force combat pants, and sauna hats.
This follows Attorney General Pam Bondi’s announcement that ‘all’ the files related to Epstein have been disclosed under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
In a letter concerning the files obtained by Fox News, Bondi wrote: “In accordance with the requirements of the Act, and as described in various Department submissions to the courts of the Southern District of New York assigned to the Epstein and Maxwell prosecutions and related orders, the Department released all ‘records, documents, communications and investigative materials in the possession of the Department’ that ‘relate to’ any of nine different categories.”
