Several new pictures have been unearthed over the past few days as journalists around the world comb through this latest Epstein files release.
They provide new insights into the universe of the late sex offender and those who were rubbing shoulders with him.
As usual with the US justice department’s releases, no context is provided alongside the pictures. Featuring in the files is not an indication of any wrongdoing.
Among the pictures were several that showed Jeffrey Epstein himself.
There was also a new picture from inside his prison cell.
Peter Mandelson also featured. He is facing a criminal investigation into allegations that he leaked market-sensitive information from Downing Street to Epstein, over documents from the latest release.
He has said: “I was wrong to believe Epstein following his conviction and to continue my association with him afterwards. I apologise unequivocally for doing so to the women and girls who suffered.”
Previously unknown pictures included a series showing Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor with an unidentified woman. The former prince has vigorously denied any accusations against him in relation to Epstein.
Hollywood star Woody Allen was also seen in several pictures.
In an interview with The Sunday Times in September last year – when asked if he regretted socialising with Epstein – Allen responded by noting: “Well, I’m a writer, so I don’t get put off… Those dinners were fascinating, and when it was all uncovered, it becomes interesting to a writer…”
Allen said he’d been to dinner at Epstein’s home but suggested he was unaware of the nature of his crimes.
“He told us he’d been in jail and that he had been – I can’t remember the word – but that he’d been falsely put in jail in some way.”
