Epstein Hid Computers and Manuals for Sex Slaves from FBI

The British newspaper "The Telegraph" has revealed new, shocking details about the methodical concealment of evidence by convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. According to the investigation, the financier hired private detectives who, on his orders, removed incriminating material from his Palm Beach, Florida residence before police arrived. This practice was particularly evident in 2005 during the first major raid conducted by the FBI. The materials were then stored in at least six rented storage units, with payments for their storage documented by withdrawals from Epstein's accounts until his death in 2019. The contents of one storage unit, described in an inventory obtained by journalists, are particularly horrifying. It contained three computers, 29 notebooks with notes, a list of Florida masseuses, photos of naked women believed to be victims, pornographic magazines, and cassettes and DVDs containing sexualized content involving minors. Especially sinister is an item described as "manuals for sex slaves," suggesting an extremely organized and oppressive nature to Epstein's actions. As former Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter stated in an interview, the property in 2005 was already "cleaned out," and the main computer with surveillance recordings had vanished, leaving only torn cables behind. The case of Jeffrey Epstein, a wealthy financier connected to political and business elites, reignited in 2019 following his arrest and subsequent death in his cell, officially ruled a suicide. His network involved dozens, possibly hundreds, of underage victims for whom he arranged "massages" that turned into sexual abuse. One of the key threads of the investigation has always been allegations that his influence and wealth protected him from justice for decades. The new documents confirm these suspicions directly. Email correspondence shows that Epstein's lawyers were fully aware of the evidence concealment scheme. In August 2009, detective Bill Riley wrote in an email to Epstein and his defense team: "Am Wochenende wurde ich darüber informiert, dass die Anwälte der Klägerseite die Computer und Unterlagen anfordern, die ich vor der Durchsuchung aus Jeffs Haus entfernt habe. Ich habe alles eingelagert und bitte um Anweisung, wie weiter vorzugehen ist." (Translation: "Over the weekend I was informed that the plaintiffs' lawyers are demanding the computers and documents I removed from Jeff's house before the raid. I have stored everything and request instructions on how to proceed.") This fragment clearly indicates coordination between the client, his defenders, and the perpetrators of illegal actions. Michael Reiter, in an interview with NBC, emphasized that in his entire career he had never seen a defense have such early access to details of an ongoing investigation, calling it "the worst tragedy of the justice system." The new reports cast an even more grim light on the scale of corruption and abuse that enabled Epstein to operate with impunity for years.
