Chilling Epstein Photo With a Toddler's Leg Sparks Outrage as Thousands of New Images Surface in the Epstein Files
Thousands of new images were released in the Epstein files data dump on Friday but one photo in particular struck a terrifying chord amid fears the billionaire pedophile was lounging half-naked with a toddler. Disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein is all smiles in the picture - many of which show him at his luxurious estate. He poses without a shirt and with what appears to be a white towel wrapped around his waist on a couch. Epstein is joined by another person, who is largely out of frame. But eagle-eyed critics pouring over the nearly 600,000 pages of documents released by Donald Trump's Department of Justice on Friday afternoon noted the person's tiny leg and foot were visible in the left hand corner of the image. The scrawny little leg and foot, encased in a black sneaker, were so small that many theorized they belonged to a toddler. Although the image could be innocent - the inclusion with so much evidence of sex trafficking sparked outrage. 'There's a f***ing toddler in the newly released photos from the Epstein Files. Disgusting animal,' one critic said. Another wrote: 'One image shows Epstein shirtless, with a child's leg visible in the frame.'

From 1996 FBI Complaint to 1990s Allegations: Maria Farmer Speaks Out
What emerged was a timeline around Epstein’s alleged abuses and a controversial 1996 FBI complaint that revealed Epstein was accused of stealing photos and negatives an artist had taken of her 12-year-old and 16-year-old sisters for a personal project. The one-page report was taken years before an investigation was launched into allegations that Epstein was sexually abusing underage girls. The artist's name is redacted in the file, but the handwritten report says she believed Epstein sold the photos. She has since identified herself as Maria Farmer, a woman who long claimed she had filed a report but had been met with silence by the FBI and allegations she fabricated her complaint. Farmer said Epstein had previously asked her to take photos of young girls at swimming pools. 'I've waited 30 years,' she told The New York Times on Friday. 'I can't believe it. They can't call me a liar anymore.' Epstein was pictured with several people who had their faces protected in the images, out of concern they may have been his victims
