but there is no paperwork to show that.

Here are extracts from a news report:

Convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein owned islands and glamorous properties around the world.

Disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein used expensive properties in New York, South Florida, the Virgin Islands and Paris to coerce minor girls into sex, according to multiple court filings.

Key Epstein properties in sex abuse allegations

Epstein pleaded guilty in Florida in 2008 to state charges of soliciting minors for prostitution and soliciting a prostitute. He served 13 months in the Palm Beach County Stockade and was regularly allowed to leave as part of a generous work release program. The plea agreement made him a sex offender, because the charge involved a minor.

Epstein, who faced up to 45 years in prison, died by suicide in the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Lower Manhattan in 2019 while awaiting trial. His associate Ghislaine Maxwell was found guilty on five of six federal charges related to sex trafficking and conspiracy in December 2021. She was sentenced to 20 years in prison in June 2022.

Epstein’s properties included locations in Manhattan, Palm Beach and Paris, in addition to his own privately held islands among the Virgin Islands in the Caribbean. The Virgin Islands are a U.S. territory.

Charges filed in three locations

9 East 71st Street, New York: Epstein owned a seven-story, 21,000-square-foot townhouse on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, in which he entertained celebrities, politicians and others. He was charged with sexually exploiting and abusing minor girls at the townhouse and in Florida.

358 El Brillo Way, Palm Beach, Florida: After a two-year investigation by Palm Beach police and the FBI, Epstein pleaded guilty to two state charges of prostitution in June 2008 and served 13 months in prison. The guilty plea was part of a nonprosecution agreement that gave Epstein and coconspirators immunity from federal prosecution.

Little St. James Island and Great James Island (Virgin Islands): The Virgin Islands’ attorney general filed a civil action against the Epstein estate in January 2020 for a “practice of human trafficking, sexual abuse and forced labor of young women and female children” on the island. The suit was settled for $105 million in November 2022.

Allegations made, no criminal charges filed

22 Avenue Foch, Paris: Epstein owned a 2,600-square-foot luxury apartment at the building in the 16th arrondissement. French police searched the apartment in September 2019 after allegations that Epstein and others had trafficked underage girls for sex, according to the Guardian. Criminal charges were never filed.

301 East 66th St., New York: Epstein had girlfriends, associates and others stay in a 200-unit residential building owned by his brother Mark Epstein at East 66th St. Business activities were conducted there, but underage models also had apartments, according to Business Insider. Teresa Helm, one of Epstein’s accusers, said in a lawsuit that the 66th Street property was “where Epstein housed many of the models and young women he was abusing.” Criminal charges were never filed against Epstein.

5025 East Dublin Granville Rd. and 7558 King George Dr., New Albany, Ohio: Epstein owned two properties in New Albany, Ohio, and had a business relationship with billionaire Les Wexner, according to the Columbus Dispatch. Artist Maria Farmer said in an affidavit in April 2019 that Epstein and Maxwell molested her in the summer of 1996. No charges against Epstein were filed.

Zorro Ranch, Sante Fe County, New Mexico: Epstein’s 7,500-acre Zorro Ranch has been noted in several accusations of abuse. State authorities opened two investigations into the allegations, but criminal charges were never filed.

London: Metropolitan police dropped its investigation in October 2021 into accusations by Virginia Giuffre, who alleged abuse by Epstein, Maxwell and Prince Andrew in 2001. Police were investigating the accusation, in which Giuffre said she was sexually abused by Andrew at Maxwell’s house at 44 Kinnerton St., Belgravia, London. No charges were filed against Epstein or Maxwell.

Ellie Leonard, (‘The Panicked’ Substack) researching this aspect through scouring released Epstein emails and other material found:

301 East 66th would be used to house an unknown number of underage girls and their billionaire aggressors for many years, and the property is still owned by Mark Epstein to this day.

She is mainly pursuing the Les Wexner link in today’s findings. But this extract she found reveals the money grabbing, soulless actions of Jeffrey Epstein:

At one point Wexner put Epstein on as a trustee to the Wexner Family Foundation, replacing his own mother, Bella, who had been ill. When she surprised everyone and got better, she wanted her place back. Epstein sued the woman, and she died a few years later

I live on what was once the Iapetus Ocean which took millions of years to travel from the Southern Hemisphere to here in the Northern Hemisphere.
