Newly released photographs from convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s Paris apartment have revealed disturbing details about the interior of the luxury residence, including dimly lit rooms, sexually explicit decor and items investigators believe may be linked to alleged criminal activity. The images, published by French newspaper Le Parisien, show framed photographs of nude women displayed across the walls, drawers containing sex toys and a massage table inside the property, which authorities suspect may have been used during illegal activities.
The 18-room apartment, located on Avenue Foch and purchased by Epstein in 2001, featured unusual and unsettling interior design elements. Rooms were decorated in intense shades of red, pink and orange, with heavy curtains and dramatic lighting creating an atmosphere investigators described as theatrical and secretive. The residence also contained eccentric animal-themed decor, including a rotunda furnished with a bearskin rug, antelope horns and preserved animal figures such as a stuffed elephant calf and a vulture, adding to the disturbing character of the property.
The emergence of these images follows the opening of two new investigations in France connected to Epstein after the release of additional documents by the US Justice Department. According to Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau, authorities will rely on publicly available evidence along with complaints submitted by child protection organisations. One probe will examine allegations of human trafficking, while the second will focus on financial crimes including money laundering, corruption and tax fraud.
French investigators are also examining alleged offences linked to Jean-Luc Brunel, a modelling agent and longtime associate of Epstein, who is accused of committing rapes at the Paris apartment. Brunel was awaiting trial on charges related to the sexual exploitation of minors when he was found dead in his prison cell, with authorities ruling the death a suicide.
Epstein himself died in 2019 while in custody at a Manhattan jail, where he had been awaiting trial on multiple charges involving sexual abuse and trafficking of minors. The renewed scrutiny of his Paris residence has intensified ongoing international investigations into the wider network of alleged crimes connected to him and his associates.
