By now the stories almost seem less shocking, though of course they shouldn’t.

In the wake of Jeffrey Epstein’s suicide in New York City weeks ago, federal authorities “have refocused their investigation on the more than half-dozen employees, girlfriends and associates whom prosecutors say he relied on to feed his insatiable appetite for girls,” according to the New York Times.

The paper of record’s review of lawsuits, unsealed court records and depositions, and new interviews, offers “disturbing allegations about how this small cadre of women helped Mr. Epstein lure girls into his orbit and managed the logistics of his encounters with them,” it reported. “The urgency of the investigation into Mr. Epstein’s associates was underscored on Tuesday when about two dozen women offered searing accounts of how he had sexually abused them before a packed courtroom in Manhattan. The judge overseeing the case had invited the women to speak at a hearing to dismiss the indictment against Mr. Epstein in light of his death.”

As more details of the private life of Jeffrey Epstein become known, a more cogent picture forms of a man devoted to his physical pleasures. “Video obtained by Fox News, taken during a 2005 police raid of Jeffrey Epstein’s Palm Beach mansion, shows the convicted sex offender’s eccentric and explicit taste in art, which was displayed throughout the house,” Fox reported. “The art included paintings, sculptures, photographs, sketches and posters.”

Inside the home, Fox continued, “the video showed a wall covered in artsy nude photos of men and women, a painting of a nude woman lying on her back and a photo of a topless woman – who appeared to be Epstein’s ex-girlfriend and alleged madam, Ghislaine Maxwell – lying on a sandy beach. Another photo showed a naked young woman lying on a beach.”

Recent weeks have seen many of Epstein’s alleged victims come forth to tell their tales and vent their angry. As the Associated Press recently reported, “One by one, 16 women who say they were sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein poured out their anger… lashing out at him as a coward and a manipulator, after a judge gave them the day in court they were denied when he killed himself behind bars.”

Jennifer Araoz, who accused the financier of having raped her when she was 15, is quoted by the Associated Press as commenting, “The fact I will never have a chance to face my predator in court eats away at my soul. Even in death, Epstein is trying to hurt me. I had hoped to at last get an apology, but this evil man had no remorse or caring for what he did to anyone.”
