Jeffrey Epstein is at the center of another jaw-dropping allegation — this time involving a “secret” child.
According to newly released Justice Department materials, one of Epstein’s alleged victims told investigators that the late financier once pointed to a photograph of a blonde woman on a beach inside his Manhattan townhouse and made a chilling claim: “This is the mother of my child.”
The woman, who said Epstein abused her for years starting when she was 16, told the FBI in February 2020 that Epstein described the woman in the photo as “perfect” and allegedly added that “her husband will be very lucky.”
She also claimed Epstein was so fixated on the woman that he had a mold made of her torso — turned into a sculpture and displayed inside his New York City mansion.
Epstein’s brother, Mark, has long denied Epstein ever had a child. But the new document dump is fueling fresh speculation, especially after images included in the release appeared to show Epstein holding a baby inside his townhouse.
In one photo, Epstein is seen cradling an infant dressed in a pink jumper, with the child’s face blocked out by a heavy redaction. In another, he stands with his arm around a blonde woman wearing a black turtleneck and red miniskirt while she holds a baby — with both faces again redacted.
It’s unclear whether the baby in the photos is the same child, or who the woman is.
Adding another twist: Sarah Ferguson, the former Duchess of York, allegedly referenced a baby in a congratulatory email to Epstein in September 2011.
“Don’t know if you are still on this bbm [BlackBerry Messenger] but heard from The Duke that you have had a baby boy,” she reportedly wrote, before offering “love, friendship and congratulations.”
Meanwhile, multiple survivors have previously alleged Epstein and his longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell pushed the idea of victims having children for them.
Virginia Giuffre and Johanna Sjoberg have both claimed Epstein and Maxwell approached them about having a baby for the pair to raise. In Giuffre’s memoir Nobody’s Girl, published in October 2025, she wrote that they “pleaded” with her to “have our baby,” allegedly dangling promises of a mansion, around-the-clock nannies, and an allowance she described as $200,000 a month.
Giuffre wrote she feared the request wasn’t about family at all — but about control, and the possibility the child could later be exploited.
Epstein was found dead in an NYC jail cell in August 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges — a death that continues to spark controversy. But for survivors, these claims all point back to the same grim reality: Epstein’s alleged obsession with power didn’t stop at the victims he harmed — and, if these accounts are true, may have extended to the idea of bringing a child into his world.
