Images and video of Jeffrey Epstein’s private Caribbean island have been released by politicians in the US.
Democrats on the House Oversight Committee said on X that they were “a harrowing look behind Epstein’s closed doors”.
“We are releasing these photos and videos to ensure public transparency in our investigation and to help piece together the full picture of Epstein’s horrific crimes,” said representative Robert Garcia.
“We won’t stop fighting until we deliver justice for the survivors.”
The images show empty courtyards, bedrooms and other rooms from his villa.
Mr Garcia said: “It’s time for President Trump to release all the files, now.”
President Trump recently approved their release after US Congress voted overwhelmingly in favour.

The US Department of Justice now has until mid-December to release thousands of files linked to civil and criminal cases involving Epstein.
It could shed more light on the paedophile financier, who socialised with figures including Donald Trump, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Peter Mandelson.
Their connections have already been revealed in more than 20,000 other files disclosed last month.
But much more is set to follow as the Epstein Files Transparency Act demands the release of all files relating to Epstein, including investigations, prosecutions and custodial matters, as well as records connected to Ghislaine Maxwell.
Epstein’s longtime associate is serving a 20-year prison term for sex trafficking.
