The House Oversight Committee Democrats have released more images tied to Jeffrey Epstein, including disturbing pictures showing women with messages written on their bodies.
On December 18, the committee released 68 more photos obtained from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate.
This comes just before President Donald Trump’s administration is required to release more files related to the disgraced financier, with the deadline being today (19 December).
Amongst some of the images released, messages are seen written on women’s body parts.

In one of the images released, the message on a woman’s chest reads: “Lo-Lee-ta: The tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth.
Another read: “She was Lola in slacks.”
While a third message, written on a woman’s foot, reads: “She was Lo, plain Lo, in the morning, standing four feet ten in one sock.”
In this picture, behind the woman on a bed is Vladimir Nabokov’s 1955 novel, Lolita. This controversial book follows a man who is sexually obsessed with a 12-year-old girl.
The ages of the women, who had their faces censored in the images, are not clear.
As well as these photos released, it also sees Microsoft founder, Bill Gates posing for a photograph with an unknown woman who has had her face redacted.
A spokesperson for Gates has continually denied that Epstein ever worked for him, and the Microsoft founder has previously expressed his regret at ever knowing Epstein.
"It was a huge mistake to spend time with him, to give him the credibility of being there," he told CNN in 2021.
More images of film director Woody Allen being photographed alongside Epstein were also released.
As well as this, photos released also show a series of text messages from an unknown sender speaking about an 18-year-old woman from Russia.
It is not clear who was involved in these messages, nor the context of the conversation. It is also important to note that being featured in these images does not imply wrongdoing or criminal activity.
California Rep. Robert Garcia, who is the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, issued a statement earlier this month about the importance of releasing these images and more information regarding Epstein and his criminal enterprise.
He said: “It is time to end this White House cover-up and bring justice to the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and his powerful friends. These disturbing photos raise even more questions about Epstein and his relationships with some of the most powerful men in the world.
“We will not rest until the American people get the truth. The Department of Justice must release all the files, NOW.”
