A Look Inside Jeffrey Epstein’s Manhattan Lair

August 5, 2025 · 6:08 am ET · Leave a Comment

New York Times: “The townhouse was one of five properties around the world owned by Mr. Epstein. 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 visitors considered Mr. Epstein fun, smart and curious. Another perk: getting to mingle with the young, attractive women who roamed the property and worked as his assistants.”
