Democratic lawmakers in the United States have released never-before-seen photos and videos from Jeffrey Epstein's private island. The materials show the inside of his property in the Caribbean, called Little St. James. This island is believed to have been a central location for his crimes of sex trafficking. The lawmakers hope these images will help the public understand the investigation better and push for more transparency.
The pictures and videos, taken by police in 2020, offer a disturbing look at the island estate. They show very expensive rooms that also feel unsettling. There are bedrooms, bathrooms with many sinks, and an office. In the office, a chalkboard has words like "power" and "deception" written on it. One strange photo shows a room with a dental chair, which has no clear medical purpose. Another image displays masks hanging on a wall. A telephone with speed-dial buttons labeled with names like "Larry" suggests Epstein's network of contacts.
Congressman Robert Garcia, who led the release, said these images are a crucial step toward justice. "We are releasing these photos and videos to ensure public transparency," he stated. He also confirmed that the committee has financial records from big banks connected to Epstein and plans to share them soon.
This release is part of a larger push for information. Just one day before, a new law was signed that forces the government to disclose its records on Epstein. The Justice Department must release these documents by December 19. This could reveal the names of many people involved, often called the "Epstein list." The new island photos help keep public attention on this upcoming information.
Epstein died in jail in 2019 while waiting for his trial. His partner, Ghislaine Maxwell, is now in prison. The visual evidence from the island does not reveal new crimes, but it makes the location feel more real—changing it from a rumor into a documented scene. It shows that investigators are still working to tell the full story of Epstein's crimes and who helped him.
