The US Department of Justice published over three million pages of documents on the Epstein affair last week. On the one hand, they contain further information about which prominent names could be involved in the affair – on the other hand, they provide new insights into the life of the sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
In one of the documents, a teenager claims that Epstein fathered a child with her and that he took it away from her “minutes after birth”. This can be seen from a minor’s diary entry from 2002, like the British one “Times” reported. A copy of the ultrasound can also be seen.

“She was born, I heard her cry,” the minor writes about the birth. She describes herself as a “human incubator”. She briefly saw the child’s “small head and body.”
The young woman also mentions that Epstein’s confidant Ghislaine Maxwell was said to have been present at the birth. Maxwell said the girl was “beautiful.” Then it was “gone”.
Epstein apparently wanted to persuade the teenager to give the child away – with a view to a possible musical career. She writes in her diary:
«The comments on the piano and music are intended to convince me that this is right and will produce perfect offspring, which he [Epstein] referred to as a ‘superior gene pool’.”
According to the Times, the woman filed a lawsuit in 2023 against Leon Black, the former CEO of Apollo Global Management and an employee of Epstein. Black raped her in Epstein’s house until she bled – he denies the allegations.
There are various indications that Epstein fathered several children, even if he officially had no offspring. There are no children mentioned in his will either. But in a newly released video from Epstein’s New York mansion, a paternity test can be seen on a table.
Sarah Ferguson congratulated Epstein on his son
An email from Sarah Ferguson, the ex-wife of the then Prince Andrew, also surfaced. In it she congratulates Epstein on the birth of a son in 2011. “I heard from the Duke that you had a little boy,” she writes. «Even if you’ve never kept in touch, I’m still here for you with love, friendship and congratulations on your little boy. Sarah xx.”
A few minutes later there is another message in which Ferguson sounds disappointed by Epstein:
«You disappeared. I didn’t even know you were having a baby. It’s so clear to me that you were only friends with me to get to Andrew.”

Epstein was interested in eugenics
It has long been known that Epstein was interested in a kind of modern eugenics. This worldview implies that Nobel Prize winners and tech billionaires should increasingly pass on their genetic material in order to create new and “better” people.
According to the New York Times, Epstein told scientists and businessmen in the early 2000s about his plan to use his ranch in New Mexico to artificially inseminate women with his sperm and give birth to his children. (hkl)
