New photos have emerged from convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s Paris flat, showing grisly decorations, sex toys, and pictures of naked women framed and hung on walls. The pictures, published by French newspaper Le Parisien, are from the late paedophile’s 18-room Avenue Foch den, where Paris prosecutors believe several sex crimes were committed.
The luxury mansion, which was purchased by Epstein in 2001, has bizarre decorations with curtains, lights and wallpaper in shades of red, pink and orange. It also has disturbing animal decor, with a rotunda (roofed building with circular ground plan) with a bearskin rug, antelope horns and a stuffed elephant calf and vulture.
The revelation came after France last week opened two cases linked to the late billionaire financier following the release of a trove of files linked to the sex offender by the US Justice Department. Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau told France Info radio that the probe will rely on publicly available material alongside complaints filed by child protection groups.
One investigation will focus on human trafficking, and the other on crimes, including money laundering, corruption and tax fraud.
Epstein’s Paris lair is where his longtime friend and modelling agent, Jean-Luc Brunel, allegedly committed rapes. He was awaiting trial for raping a child and being probed for trafficking minors, when he was found dead in his prison cell. French authoriities said he died by suicide using bedsheets.
Epstein also similarly died by suicide in a Manhattan jail in 2019 while awaiting trial for his several sex crimes, and trafficking of minors for prostitution.
