When thousands of new documents from the Jeffrey Epstein investigation<\/a> were released on Friday evening, journalists and citizen investigators across the nation were greeted by one of the most reassuring phrases in the English language: \u201cCSAM NOT SCANNED.\u201d CSAM, an abbreviation for child sex abuse material, is the current law enforcement term<\/a> for what might previously be known as child pornography. Seeing the term dozens of times across the 3 gigabytes of new Epstein material is a sign that the FBI has more specific documentation of the late abusers\u2019 crimes, but the bureau will not be disseminating it.<\/p>\n The remaining array of photographs<\/a> and heavily redacted documents provide more insight into Epstein\u2019s relationships with celebrities, along with detritus from the FBI\u2019s years-long investigation. The 2019 searches of his townhome on Manhattan\u2019s Upper East Side and compound on Little Saint James Island<\/a> in the Caribbean yielded hundreds of pictures, and those have been made public with very few redactions. In these images, the framed photos presumably showing victims<\/a> are obscured.<\/p>\n The releases also contain hundreds of photos from Epstein\u2019s own personal collection, including photos from a Rolling Stones concert and one that shows Epstein posing with Micheal Jackson. There are photos that show him cuddling with Ghislaine Maxwell<\/strong> as they visit haute locations like St. Tropez and Brunei, and others that show him shooting guns on his Zorro Ranch property in New Mexico. The CSAM disclaimer appears most frequently in these sections, along with a few photos of disembodied female buttocks, presumably belonging to known adults.<\/p>\n And while the FBI withheld the worst of its Epstein material, there are still plenty of unpleasant sights to be seen for anyone with the stomach to dig through. Here, Vanity Fair<\/em> looks at them so you don\u2019t have to:<\/p>\n Epstein had an abiding interest in race science, so perhaps it should come as no surprise that a desk at his home on Little Saint James Island prominently displays the sort of white phrenology bust you would find in the possession of a 19th century eugenicist.<\/p>\n When the DOJ gave Fox News an early selection of files<\/a>, the department led with photos of the former Democratic president\u2014including one where Clinton is shirtless, reclining in a hot tub. Political motivations aside, it\u2019s not hard to tell why the Trump administration might have wanted to foreground this image. There are hundreds of pictures in Friday\u2019s drop, but it really is one of the strangest.<\/p>\nA phrenology head<\/h2>\n
