Overview
- The latest Justice Department tranche of roughly three million files includes clips seized from Jeffrey Epstein’s computer that depict semi-clothed, model-style auditions with faces and other identifiers blacked out and some audio muted.
- The new footage visually supports longstanding reports that Epstein lured targets by posing as a Victoria’s Secret talent scout, echoing model Alicia Arden’s 1997 account to police.
- Videos reflect international reach, featuring submissions from multiple countries, including a Russian-language clip, a selfie before a mountain range, and a pose in front of the Tretyakov Gallery’s Morning in a Pine Forest.
- Some clips appear to show women in the red‑panelled study of Epstein’s Paris residence, a location previously examined in sex‑abuse investigations.
- References in the materials and prior court filings highlight French modeling agent Jean‑Luc Brunel’s alleged role in supplying women to Epstein before his 2022 death in custody.
