In the latest revelations from the recently released Epstein Files, it has been reported that Jeffrey Epstein, a notorious paedophile, allegedly instructed a staff member to set up covert video cameras at his residence in Palm Beach. Survivors have claimed that they were unknowingly recorded by Epstein, potentially for blackmail purposes.
A newly surfaced email exchange from 2014 reveals Epstein requesting an associate to purchase and install hidden cameras, disguised within tissue boxes, at his home. This request was confirmed in an email exchange where Epstein asked for motion-detected cameras. It was later confirmed that the cameras were being installed inside Kleenex boxes.
Additionally, Channel 4 has authenticated low-quality footage recovered from the Epstein Files, showing Epstein in his study with other individuals, including a woman resembling Ghislaine Maxwell. Reports suggest that Epstein may have installed surveillance devices in his various residences, supported by photographic evidence and victim testimonies.
Despite Epstein’s denial of using covert cameras for any nefarious purposes, evidence from past investigations, including the recovery of clock cameras during a raid at his Palm Beach home, points to the presence of hidden recording devices in his properties. The New York Times previously published photographs showing surveillance cameras in Epstein’s New York townhouse, contradicting earlier claims by federal prosecutors.
