Revealed: The contents of Epstein's secret storage locker

Video tapes and sex manuals among items paedophile wanted to keep hidden from police

A secret storage locker rented by Jeffrey Epstein contained computers, video tapes, sex-slave manuals and photographs of naked women.

Earlier this week, The Telegraph revealed that Epstein paid private detectives to remove items from his Florida property in an apparent attempt to hide them from investigators ahead of a police raid in 2005.

These were kept at a nearby storage facility in Palm Beach for several years while police investigated the paedophile.

The unit was rented on Epstein’s behalf by the Riley Kiraly detective agency and was one of at least six storage lockers leased by the late financier over a 16-year period.

An inventory of the secret Palm Beach lock-up, obtained by The Telegraph, showed that the stashed items included three computers, 29 address books and a three-page list of masseuses in Florida.

The hidden storage unit also contained nude photographs, believed to be of Epstein’s victims, as well as dozens of pornographic magazines, VHS tapes and DVDs eroticising teenagers.

An 8mm video cassette tape was also locked away in the storage unit, apparently containing footage of someone in the shower and a woman in lingerie, as well as a 2005 calendar, greeting cards, letters and laboratory results.

island! The evil that must infest every inch of soil, the trees, it's literally embedded in the island, itself.

where all those "treasures" are. She's the gatekeeper for everything sorted and disgusting when it comes to Epstein/tRump.
Her DOI (department of injustice) is the protective bubble in which tRump exists.
I don't know how such a "good christian" woman can live with herself, knowing what she knows about tRump.

I'd like to read that review.
" Intriguing and sinister plot but predictably happy ending".

I thought I was pretty wild growing up, but it turns out it was a sheltered life.

Or have already made.

I can’t even start wrapping my brain around the Misbehavior World that the Donald inhabits.

It seems every email, phone call, text, and dinner date is documented. Millions and millions of them. The man didn't fart without someone noting the time and date. Do they have that much data on all of us?

I imagine somewhere in those files is his shoe size and favorite candy bar. (Baby Ruth?)

this is yet another nothingburger around the Epstein saga. You might see if you are still, paying attention, a few Bugs Bunny and Popeye cartoon tapes. As Porky Pig says, “Thst’s all, folks!”

They went into storage and haven't been used since 2005? It's probably an old Windows 3.1 or maybe an original Mackintosh. I'm sure there's a way to import the data into a recent computer, but those old machines aren't going to work any more.

matter. If those haven't degraded too much, there should be a significant amount of recoverable data.

19. The key to reviving old media

Is to make sure it’s well lubricated before reapplying power to it.
That counts for tapes as well as disk drives. You don’t want them soaked, but you need to prevent flaking and gritty old lubricants from causing damage.
Anyone who does anything less is complicit in the spoliation of the data included on the media.
