In December 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice began releasing thousands of pages from the Jeffrey Epstein investigations, mandated by the Epstein Files Transparency Act. What emerged in the initial batches—photos, investigative notes, and evidentiary materials—paints a portrait of depravity far more grotesque and banal than even the most lurid rumors suggested.

Photographs from Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse reveal rooms designed for abuse: massage tables surrounded by lotions, oils, and walls adorned with large artworks depicting nude women. Framed images of adolescent girls—faces redacted—dot his properties in New York and the Virgin Islands, a chilling reminder of his obsession. One particularly haunting Post-it note, in childish handwriting, reads: “Cannot come at 7PM tomorrow b/c of soccer,” underscoring how Epstein normalized the exploitation of school-aged girls.
Voicemail transcripts capture the casual procurement: “I have a female for him.” A completely redacted “Masseuses” list enumerates up to 254 names, hinting at the staggering scale of victims. Handwritten investigator notes from 2019 detail a witness claiming Epstein demanded proof a girl was underage before abusing her.
Bizarre artifacts include a fake passport under an alias, a forged letter to Larry Nassar flagged by the FBI, and a purported suicide note later deemed suspicious. Photos show Epstein with celebrities, but the true horror lies in the evidence rooms: boxes of labeled CDs, hard drives, and envelopes potentially holding videos of assaults—materials the DOJ withheld to protect victims.
Grand jury transcripts describe young women paid for sex acts, while flight logs and subpoenas reveal deeper elite entanglements. Yet heavy redactions and the discovery of over a million more documents delay full disclosure, fueling outrage.
These files expose not just one man’s monstrosity, but a system that enabled it. The banal evil—childlike notes amid calculated predation—proves more repugnant than any conspiracy rumor, demanding unflinching accountability.
