NY Times features detailed tour of Epstein’s creepy 7-story NYC mansion, including camera placements

A look inside deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s seven-story Manhattan mansion has revealed an eyesore replete with cameras everywhere, secret surveillance rooms, and a rare first edition of “Lolita.”

“The townhouse was one of five properties around the world owned by Mr. Epstein,” according to a profile by the New York Times.

“After his release in 2009 from a Florida jail, where he served 13 months for soliciting prostitution from a teenager, the mansion served as both a personal hideaway and a salon where he could hold court with accomplished intellectuals, scientists, and financiers,” the stunning profile continues.

Upon entering Epstein’s home, guests would first encounter “dozens of framed prosthetic eyeballs” that “lined the entryway.”

They’d also see “[a] sculpture of a woman wearing a bridal gown and clutching a rope” being “suspended in a central atrium.”

In one room was “a map of Israel drawn on a chalkboard.” Next to it was a framed dollar bill reportedly signed by Microsoft founder Bill Gates.

“Up a grand staircase was Mr. Epstein’s wood-paneled office, featuring a massive desk,” according to the Times. “Photos show a taxidermied tiger lounging on a lush rug.”

The office featured a rare edition of “Lolita,” the famous 1955 novel in which a grown man develops an obsession with and eventually rapes a 12-year-old girl.

It also featured pics of Epstein with a number of famous people, including but not limited to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Pope John Paul II, former President Bill Clinton, and current President Donald Trump.

On the third floor was Epstein’s personal suite, including his bedroom that featured a surveillance camera mounted above his bed.

“There were pinhole cameras to record everything on every estate,” former Epstein receptionist Maria Farmer told the U.K. Sun in 2021. “The cameras were ubiquitous. You couldn’t see them unless they were pointed out to you.”

She also spoke of secret tunnels.

“All of Epstein’s residences had these mechanical rooms and tunnel systems,” she said. “I know this because Epstein told me. ‘These rooms were enormous – bigger than houses. I have no idea why anyone needs so many computers in one room.”

According to the Times, there were, however, no “visible cameras” in the townhome’s massage room. Instead, there were “paintings of naked women, a large silver ball and chain, and shelves stocked with lubricant.”

It’s known from court records that Epstein “regularly directed teenage girls — some recruited from middle schools in Queens — to massage him while he was naked.”

“Sometimes he masturbated in front of them, according to court records and interviews with victims,” the Times notes. “Sometimes he raped or assaulted them.”

Epstein’s victims have, over the years, claimed he recorded all of his guests/visitors and used that stash of videos to commit blackmail.

Earlier this year, however, the Trump FBI issued a statement saying there was “no credible evidence” that Epstein had blackmailed famous people using surveillance footage of them.

“There was also no credible evidence found that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals as part of his actions,” the FBI said. “We did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties.”

After Epstein’s death, his Manhattan townhome was sold, and the proceeds were forwarded to a fund for his victims.
