A shocking new photo from Jeffrey Epstein’s Manhattan home shows a woman lying across his desk in an awkward position, raising fresh questions about the disgraced financier. The image is part of a small group of just 19 pictures released by Congress, taken from tens of thousands seized from Epstein’s estate.
The photo shows the woman on what appears to be a couch, her face blocked out with a black square to prevent identification.
Social media users quickly speculated that she might have been a victim, with one person writing, “What appears to be an incapacitated young girl passed out on a couch. You have to be pretty confident you won’t be arrested to have such a picture on your desk.”
Other images released show Epstein with powerful figures, including President Trump, former President Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, Woody Allen, and Bill Gates. Some photos depict Trump with women whose faces are blacked out, though it is unclear if these women were victims or simply present in Epstein’s company.

The photos were redacted at the request of Epstein’s legal team, who said the Committee agreed to hide faces and identifying details of potential victims before public disclosure. “Where individuals’ faces are redacted, that has been done by the Committee’s staff,” said Epstein estate attorney Daniel H. Weiner.
The unsettling desk photo is not the only shocking image. Other pictures include people in compromising positions and disturbing sex paraphernalia, like restraints, a so-called “Jawbreaker Gag,” and a device called a “P—- Pump.”
“These disturbing photos raise even more questions about Epstein and his relationships with some of the most powerful men in the world,” said Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.), the top Democrat on the Oversight Committee. “We will not rest until the American people get the truth. The Department of Justice must release all the files, NOW.”
Republicans on the Committee pushed back, accusing Democrats of cherry-picking photos to create a false narrative. A GOP spokeswoman said: “Nothing in the documents we’ve received shows any wrongdoing. It is shameful Rep. Garcia and Democrats continue to put politics above justice for the survivors.”
Epstein, 66, died in his Manhattan jail cell on August 10, 2019, while awaiting trial on charges of sex trafficking girls as young as 14. The DOJ is expected to release all investigative materials by December 19, following a Congressional resolution demanding the documents.
The small number of photos released so far shows only a fraction of the 95,000 taken from Epstein’s estate. Many social media users reacted with disgust, calling the images “sick” and “creepy,” and questioning how such photos were allowed to remain in Epstein’s possession.
Even years later, the revelations continue to shed light on Epstein’s circle of influence and the powerful figures who associated with him.
