Disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein allegedly displayed a disturbing sculpture and a photograph of a mysterious blond woman inside his mansion in Manhattan, claiming she was the mother of his child, according to documents released by the U.S. Department of Justice.
The claim came from an aspiring model who told investigators she had been sexually abused by Epstein since she was 16 years old in 2005. She shared the allegations during an interview with the Federal Bureau of Investigation in January 2020, about five months after Epstein died in jail.
According to the documents, one room in Epstein’s Upper East Side townhouse contained a photograph of a blond woman standing on a beach.
The victim told investigators that Epstein pointed to the image and said the woman in the photo was the mother of his child.
In another room of the mansion, the woman said Epstein kept a sculpture of a nude female torso that he described as a mold of the same woman. The sculpture reportedly had no head, arms or legs.
Epstein allegedly described the woman as “perfect,” according to the documents, and said her husband would be “very lucky.”
Epstein’s brother has repeatedly denied claims that the convicted sex offender ever fathered a child. However, other documents released by the Justice Department appear to suggest otherwise.
In one email dated September 21, 2011, Sarah Ferguson — the former wife of Prince Andrew, also known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor appeared to congratulate Epstein on the birth of a baby boy.
“Don’t know if you’re still on this BBM but have heard from The Duke that you have had a baby boy,” Ferguson wrote in the message.
The message was reportedly sent years after Epstein had already been convicted of having sex with an underage girl.
Epstein’s last known girlfriend was Karyna Shuliak. Reports indicate he planned to leave her significant assets in his will, including his private island, his Upper East Side townhouse and about $50 million.
Epstein signed his will on August 8, 2019 just two days before he was found dead in his jail cell in Manhattan while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges.
