Unseen footage from inside Jeffery Epstein’s mansion has been released and people are horrified by the photos hanging on the walls, particularly one of Ghislaine Maxwell…
TW: This article contains details that some people may find upsetting.
It came as Maxwell’s trial for charges of trafficking young girls for Epstein drew to a close.

Scroll on for all the details…
Now Jeffrey Epstein, who made a name for himself with elite investment bank Bear Stearns, before founding his own investment firm, was first convicted for a range of crimes in 2005.
Then, in 2008, he was convicted of running an underage p*********** ring connected to a number of high-powered individuals. Epstein served just thirteen months for this conviction.
From there, it got worse…
On July 6th 2019, Epstein was arrested again for trafficking minors in the states of Florida and New York and was held awaiting trial in a New York prison.
This was a huge breakthrough for many of his victims.
Epstein had managed to get away with vile and criminal acts for the majority of his life, most likely a result of his money and social clout. For his victims, there was finally hope of justice being done.
And many believed his conviction could uncover other high profile and wealthy sex offenders.
Epstein had numerous friends in high places, many of which were known to travel to his elusive island, where the majority of his crimes took place.
One of them controversially being Prince Andrew from the British Royal Family.
Of course, all of Epstein’s high-profile friends have denied any involvement in this scandal, but people aren’t too convinced.
However, before Epstein could dish the dirt on his friends…
He was found dead in his Manhattan prison cell, apparently as a result of hanging.
It was ruled as suicide, though some people aren’t convinced by that.
I mean, is there anyone out there who genuinely believes Epstein did commit suicide?

But because of the nature of his crimes, plus the connections Epstein had to the political and social elite, some have other suspicions about what really happened.
Anyway, in the months following his death, the investigation fell silent.

Progress seemed to be sparse, but then, the release of Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich on Netflix catapulted the whole thing back into the spotlight.
Victims spoke out about what they had endured.
They each gave detailed similar, yet horrifying tales of being assaulted while giving Epstein and his friends “massages.”
It also outlined the involvement of Epstein’s ex-girlfriend and close friend…
Ghislaine Maxwell.
Now, in the months following Epstein’s death, Maxwell remained firmly hidden and out of the public eye…
And, at that time, she wasn’t reprimanded or publicly questioned for her involvement in the scandal.
But, it was reported in July 2020 that Maxwell had finally been arrested by the FBI in New Hampshire.
She was taken to a hearing where she was described as a flight risk, so was therefore ordered to remain in custody while being transferred to New York for a detention hearing.
Maxwell was charged with the crimes of enticement of minors and trafficking of underage girls.
She also faced many other charges.
Including repeatedly lying about her involvement in the trafficking ring during a 2016 deposition.
If found guilty, Maxwell could be facing thirty-five years behind bars though, of course, the disgraced socialite has always remained valiant in her innocence by pleading not guilty.
Despite pleading not guilty to the charges, Maxwell’s involvement in Epstein’s everyday life is hard to deny…

Particularly now that footage from inside of Epstein’s mansion has been released.
As you’d expect, Maxwell’s time in prison hasn’t been an easy one.
The former socialite’s lawyer, Bobbi Sternheim, argued that Maxwell is facing tougher jail conditions than inmates convicted of murder or terrorism.
Sternheim said Maxwell is effectively being kept in solitary confinement and is “excessively and invasively” monitored twenty-four hours a day.

Along with video surveillance in her cell, cameras also follow her movements when she is allowed to leave it.
Last year, her lawyer spoke out about her jail condition in the hopes that it could gain her some sympathy.
Though it didn’t work as effectively as he’d hoped.
During a court hearing just 2 week prior, Sternheim renewed Maxwell’s request for bail ahead of her trial on November 29th.
In the court documents, she described Maxwell’s jail as “inappropriate,” Yahoo reported.
“The surveillance rivals scenes of Dr. Hannibal Lecter’s incarceration despite the absence of the cage and plastic face guard,” she wrote.

The Guardian added that Sternheim also said that “Maxwell’s conditions of detention for the past 16 months continue to be reprehensible and utterly inappropriate for [a] woman on the cusp of turning 60 with no criminal record or history of violence,” when speaking of her time at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
“It is unwarranted, unrelenting, and utterly inappropriate,” Sternheim wrote.

“[She] has been subject to physical and emotional abuse by the correction officers, poor and unsanitary living conditions, insufficient nutrition, difficulties reviewing the millions of legal discovery documents in the case against her, and sleep deprivation.”
Maxwell also spoke out herself.

Maxwell reportedly told the Daily Mail: “I used to take a shower every day but I’ve stopped because of the creepy guards who stand close and stare at me the whole time. I used to go to the loo with an open sewer drain and a friendly rat would regularly visit.”
“I told the guards, but nothing was done until the rat popped out and charged a guard who screamed in terror.”
Ghislaine Maxwell has been denied bail for the 6th time. Her trial begins in two weeks.

“Finally, the sewer drain was covered.”
Maxwell repeatedly appealed for bail…

The opening arguments of Ghislaine Maxwell’s trial then started.

And she appeared to be pretty relaxed about the situation.
Although she wore a mask throughout the proceedings, Maxwell could be seen laughing and chatting to her defence lawyers…

Which included Leah Saffian, Christian Everdale, and Bobbi Sternheim, who she talked to during the hearing.
At one point Ghislaine even waved to her sister Isabel Maxwell, who was sitting behind her, up in the public gallery.
Her actions have caused many to feel as though she’s remorseless for the crimes she’s been charged with.
From trial drawings, many people also noticed not just Maxwell’s actions but her appearance.

It was noted that Maxwell entered the court with freshly dyed hair while wearing a jumper, black trousers, and heels – an outfit that is a far cry from her orange prison attire.
And as the trial was underway, many horrifying revelations emerged.
From pictures of the inside of Epstein’s house to a booklet of rules that staff were made to follow.
But the biggest shock of all?
It has to do with footage from inside of Epstein’s mansion…
Ahead of the closing arguments in Maxwell’s trial, a video from inside of Epstein’s Palm Beach estate was shown as evidence, Sky News reports.

It shows various aspects of the house including a pink staircase, a living room with large bookcase, and a bathroom.

It also shows a kitchen decorated with black and white tiles on the floor.
But, the shocking part of the video is…
The pictures hanging on the walls.
The video appears to show paintings of what appear to be naked women, including a female bust, the outlet reports.

And, there are also photographs of Maxwell around the house, including a portrait of her and a terrier dog.
Velasquez is said to have opened fire at a man accused of s*xually abusing his relative.
Velasquez is facing charges of attempted murder following the shooting which took place in California.
And people have a lot to say about it…
Police confirmed in a series of tweets that there was a shooting in San Jose on Monday.
Units are currently at the scene of a shooting near the intersection of Monterey Hwy and Bailey Ave.

He was allegedly charged, last week, with a felony count of a lewd and lascivious act with a child under the age of fourteen.
However, despite being arrested and charged, the man is said to have been granted release following a hearing.
He was released despite the district attorney’s office providing a strong opposition.
Sources claim to the outlet that upon hearing of the man’s release, Velasquez decided to take matters into his own hands.

And as a result, he attempted to shoot the man.
