Overview
- An inventory reviewed by reporters lists sex‑slave manuals, nude photographs, computers, 29 address books, a masseuse list, and DVDs and VHS tapes eroticising teenagers in a Palm Beach storage unit tied to Jeffrey Epstein.
- Private investigators were hired to remove items from Epstein’s Florida property ahead of a 2005 police raid, and the materials were kept in nearby storage for years.
- Search warrants cited in the reporting indicate U.S. authorities did not raid several of the lockers, leaving potential evidence unexamined.
- Records show some lockers were paid for until 2019, and the FBI later obtained copies of two hard drives, though it is unclear whether materials from the storage units were ever recovered.
- Emails referenced in the newly surfaced files show staff discussed moving and wiping computers, and separate French inquiries now examine suspected abuse and trafficking linked to Epstein’s Paris residence.
