Epstein DID hide cameras

Unearthed emails prove our 2015 story about paedo financier's secret filming was true

- BY CHRISTOPHER BUCKTIN US Editor

JEFFREY Epstein claimed our expose on his use of secret cameras was "all made up" - only for newly released US government files to prove the damning exclusive.

Buried within more than three million files published by the Department of Justice is a January 5, 2015, exchange between the paedophile and a worried survivor of his abuse.

The woman confronted Epstein about our report the previous day, which detailed how he used covert cameras to film VIP friends with girls.

Including a link to our story, she frantically emailed him: "What hidden cameras in the guest room walls?"

Epstein fired back: "All made up. They write what they want."

The woman replied she hoped they were not in the bathroom. Our investigation, which Epstein declined to comment on at the time, told how he recorded sordid orgies thrown for powerful guests using cameras concealed in bedroom walls.

The story sparked alarm within Buckingham Palace due to fears the then-Prince Andrew may have been secretly filmed.

Now the newly disclosed files lay bare emails showing how the ex-Duke of York's paedophile pal directed staff to install hidden recording devices inside his properties - despite his emphatic denials.

On February 5, 2014, Epstein emailed Larry Visoski, pilot of his private jet dubbed the Lolita Express, asking him to purchase "three motion-detected hidden cameras".

Mr Visoski, who also acted as a technician and handyman, replied that he had already obtained the equipment.

"Its amazing how small they are," he wrote, explaining they could record for 64 hours. "I'm installing them into Kleenex boxes now."
