Disturbing Epstein files photos show women marked with messages on their bodies
The release comes just one day before the official deadline set by the Epstein Files Transparency Act, a bill passed nearly unanimously by Congress and signed into law by President Donald Trump in November. The act compels the Attorney General to disclose all unclassified materials connected to the Epstein investigation in a searchable, downloadable format by Dec. 19.
Epstein and Maxwell
Epstein, arrested in July 2019 on federal charges of sex trafficking and conspiracy, was accused of exploiting dozens of underage girls through a vast network of accomplices, money, and high-profile connections.
He died by suicide a month later while in federal custody at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York. Despite his death, legal proceedings against his estate and associates have continued.
His long-time associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, now 63, was convicted in 2021 on multiple counts related to sex trafficking and is currently serving a 20-year sentence in federal prison.
Prosecutors described her as central to Epstein’s criminal enterprise, often responsible for recruiting and grooming victims.
