Jeffrey Epstein Palm Beach house: Before and after photos of mansion, demolition
The home of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is in the news and on real estate sites.
The six-bedroom, 7 1/2-bathroom lakefront mansion in Palm Beach, Florida, once owned by Epstein, is no more — the multimillion-dollar home was demolished after his death in 2019. The two-story home featured a living room and patio with views of the intracoastal waterway, an elevator, West Indies-style architecture, a cabana and a separate building used by household staff, according to reporting by the Palm Beach Daily News, a USA TODAY Network newspaper.
In 2021, the Palm Beach Daily News and the Palm Beach Post captured photos and video of the demolition of Epstein's home in Florida.
However, photos of the white house with a crystal blue pool and a waterfront view still show up on sites like homes.com and realtor.com. The site has been razed and the address changed. The real estate sites list property details that are public record.
Built in 1952 and sold for $18.5 million in 2021, the Epstein home was a key site where many of the crimes committed by the financier occurred, investigators said. Underage girls from Palm Beach County told investigators they were assaulted at the Palm Beach mansion as well as Epstein's homes in New York, New Mexico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
'House of horrors.' Whatever happened to Jeffrey Epstein's home in Palm Beach, Florida?
When he died by suicide in 2019, Epstein had faced federal charges of conspiracy and sex trafficking. In 2008, Epstein pleaded guilty to two Florida felony counts that included solicitation of a minor. He served nearly 13 months in the Palm Beach County Jail before being released for a year of probation on house arrest until August 2010.
His accomplice and former girlfriend Ghislane Maxwell is serving a 20-year prison sentence on federal sex-trafficking charges.
Below are photos of the Jeffrey Epstein home in Palm Beach, Florida, before and after its demolition and an exclusive Palm Beach Post video that details what happened there.

Fact Check: Real photo shows Epstein accuser Chauntae Davies giving Bill Clinton shoulder massage in 2002
Claim: A 2002 photo accurately depicts 22-year-old Chauntae Davies, an accuser of Jeffrey Epstein, giving former President Bill Clinton a shoulder massage. Rating: As rumors heated up in July 2025 surrounding the relationship between U.S. President Donald Trump and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein (who died by suicide in jail in 2019), a claim about a different presidential connection made the rounds online: a resurfaced photo that purportedly showed former President Bill Clinton receiving a massage from then-22-year-old Chauntae Davies, one of Epstein's accusers. One post of the image on Reddit (archived) received more than 137,000 upvotes, as of this writing. It also spread to X (archived) and Instagram (archived). Bill clinton getting a massage from Epstein victim, Chauntae Davies (2002)byu/Much_Ad3106 inpics The image is real. On Aug. 18, 2020, British tabloid the Daily Mail published two photos depicting Clinton smiling as Davies kneels behind him on a chair, giving him a shoulder massage. According to Davies, Epstein raped and sexually assaulted her repeatedly for four years before her escape in 2005. This photo of Davies with Clinton was taken in 2002. (Image via Daily According to a reverse-image search on (archived), the earliest internet record of the photo above is from the 2020 article in the Daily Mail. According to the Daily Mail article, the person who captured the photo took it while the group refueled at a small airport in Portugal en route to Africa for a humanitarian trip spanning multiple countries in September 2002 during which Clinton was going to be raising awareness for AIDS. Regarding Clinton himself, the Daily Mail article quoted Davies as saying the former president was a "perfect gentleman." Her comments about Clinton in the article are as follows: Davies acted as an air stewardess on the flight and described being shocked when Clinton boarded the plane, saying he was "charming and sweet". Davies, now in her early 40s, said of the massage pictures: "Although the image looks bizarre, President Clinton was a perfect gentleman during the trip and I saw absolutely no foul play involving him." She explained the massage happened when "we had a stop-over for the jet to refuel and while we were in the terminal the ex-President was complaining of stiffness from falling asleep in his chair. "Ghislaine chimed in to be funny and said that I could give him a massage. "Everyone had a little chuckle but Ghislaine in her prim British accent insisted and said I was good. The President then asked me 'would you mind giving it a crack'." "Ghislaine" is British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime romantic and criminal partner of Epstein who was sentenced to 20 years in prison for sex trafficking and other criminal sexual activities involving minors. In the limited Netflix series "Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich," which came out approximately three months before these photos were released, Davies recalled the trip: I went from being just the masseuse to being asked to be a personal assistant on this trip. So I was blinded by the opportunity of it. I hadn't gone anywhere really, and to go to Africa was like a dream come true. I flew from L.A. to New York, the plane was ready on the tarmac when I got there, and I took a seat. Then our guests arrived. It was Bill Clinton, Kevin Spacey and Chris Tucker. I was blown away, like oh my God, it was surreal. The trip was about the AIDS organization that Clinton had started. This trip to Africa is probably the single most amazing moment of my life, and I remember having this false belief that the abuse had stopped because nothing had happened in Africa. Thinking that maybe it just wasn't going to happen anymore. But after the Africa trip, the abuse started all over again, and it never stopped after that. Clinton's name has long been associated with Epstein's, more recently regarding lawsuit documents unsealed in January 2024. Unverified flight logs filed with the FAA indicate that Clinton flew on Epstein's jet at least 26 times, according to a report published by Fox News in 2016. However, in 2019, Clinton's spokesperson, Angel Ureña, claimed on X (archived) that the former president had only taken a total of four flights on Epstein's jet. Both Epstein and Maxwell were guests at the White House during Clinton's tenure on multiple occasions, as we've previously reported.

Clarence Page: President Donald Trump drives wedges into his own movement
Remember when then-candidate Donald Trump said during an Iowa campaign rally in 2016 that he 'could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters?' I quickly put that aside as just another example of the New Yorker's outlandish braggadocio, but like other political observers, I have since been impressed by Trump's seeming wall of invulnerability to scandal. However, as the Jeffrey Epstein scandal boils up around our ears, I have begun to notice some cracks. The difference is apparent as new questions arise about Trump's relationship with Epstein, the late financier and convicted sex offender who died by suicide in 2019 while in jail awaiting trial on charges that he had sex-trafficked teenage girls. Instead of calming the waters, demands from skeptical corners of the public have led to more curiosity, particularly from Trump's most deeply committed 'Make America Great Again' base of supporters. The irony for Trump is the fervor of the conviction that Epstein's crimes are the rotten core of the U.S. political power structure. It's a belief that Trump and his surrogates promoted when they suggested that Epstein's political associates were Democrats. It was one of a rich array of conspiracy theories that Trump has used to whip up his populist movement. The MAGA faithful have clung to Trump throughout the many tribulations of his first term and interregnum: the impeachments, the failed insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, the stolen-documents investigation and the sexual assault lawsuit. But that steadfast support seems to be weakening. For example, recent polling from CBS News and YouGov found nearly 90% of Americans — including 83% of Republicans — think the Department of Justice should release all the information it has regarding the case against Epstein. That's the opposite of what Trump, already busy with trade talks, warfare in the Middle East and other challenges, wants to talk about now. After The Wall Street Journal report described a risque drawing that Trump was said to have sent to Epstein decades ago, Trump sued the paper, its owner and reporters. Add to that the Journal's report that Trump was informed that his name appeared in the Justice Department's investigation of Epstein, and it should be no surprise that Americans on all sides of the political spectrum have questions. You could even say that the Epstein scandal has led to one of the most unified moments in recent political history — unified, that is, against Trump's handling of the mess. The discontent shows up in the ranks of his own party, which has been a big source of strength. For example, a poll from Quinnipiac University found that only 40% of Republicans approve of Trump's handling of the release of the files on Epstein, while more than a third of them (36%) disapprove. Quite frankly, if I were advising Trump's campaign, a highly unlikely possibility, I would make a recommendation to which I am confident he would not listen: Stop talking so much. Sure, he can't seem to help himself. Anyone who has been in a press pool covering Trump will tell you that the man loves the sound of his own voice. But this time, Trump's critics in the media are not only coming from the center and left. Some of Trump's usually loyal supporters have been outraged by the possibility that Team Trump is holding out on them or outright misleading them. For example, many were disappointed after the Justice Department said Epstein did not leave behind a 'client list,' contradicting a narrative that has been a mainstay on the right's conspiracy theorists' circuit. Attorney General Pam Bondi suggested in February that the list was on her desk, although she later explained, unconvincingly to many, that she was referring to the overall case file. Plus, she said DOJ staff were sifting through a 'truckload' of previously withheld evidence. But the Justice Department ultimately decided not to disclose any more material on the case. That has angered right-wing influencers and other commentators who had been encouraged by no less than the president himself. In July, influential Trumpistas such as Tucker Carlson, Laura Loomer and Steve Bannon were huffing and fuming over the lack of transparency, and some observers wondered whether anger over Epstein would divide the MAGA faithful. Well, I wouldn't bet on it. Democrats and others on the left still have a lot of work ahead to get their own acts — and activism — together. But when I see Trump scurrying around to put out fires in his own MAGA movement, I can't help but wonder how long he can reunite a movement that seems increasingly divided by the array of fears and paranoid notions of which he never seems to get enough.

Aussie running for Boston suburb mayor says there's ‘no chance' he'll change his name despite Jeffrey Epstein comparison
He's not name-dropping. An Australian man named Geoffrey Epstein is running for mayor in a Massachusetts town — and he rejects any comparisons to the convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, according to a report. Epstein, who goes by 'Geoff,' said he wasn't afraid of the overt homophonic resemblance his name bears to that of the notorious, dead sex trafficker. Advertisement 3 Geoffrey Epstein attends the Framingham Democrats summer barbecue on July 27, 2025. Geoff Epstein for Mayor/Facebook 'That other one is a dead American and I am a live Aussie,' Epstein, who is seeking office in Framingham, a Boston suburb, told HuffPost Tuesday. 'But, of course, there is all the horrifying criminality and darkness of the other guy,' the aspiring pol said, adding, 'I have lived my life trying to be straight up and improving things.' Advertisement Epstein said there was 'no way' he would change his name to avoid association with the degenerate criminal, who officials said committed suicide in a Manhattan lockup in 2019. 'I like my name and I am proud of my family,' he said, adding his family proudly fought in World War II. The Aussie, who noted he was born on September 11, further stands apart from his doppel-namer by way of holding a Ph.D. in theoretical physics, whereas Jeffrey Epstein dropped out of Cooper Union before attaining a degree. He is not the first politician to fight off associations with the infamous sex trafficker.

It is what it is. Both [Jeffrey Epstein and Harvey Weinstein] are horrific,' the pol added.
