Convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein rented multiple storage units across the United States for more than a decade, allegedly using them to store computers, photographs, and other materials as investigators intensified scrutiny of his activities, according to a new report [1].
Financial records and emails reviewed by The Telegraph show that Epstein rented at least six storage lockers nationwide, with some leases beginning in 2003.
The payments reportedly continued through 2019, the year Epstein died by suicide while in custody.

The storage units were used to house items removed from Epstein’s various properties, including computers and CDs from his private Caribbean island, Little Saint James, according to the report.
Search warrants included in the approximately 3 million Epstein-related documents released by the Justice Department revealed that U.S. authorities may not have searched the storage units.
The publication reported that the lockers could potentially contain evidence that has not previously been reviewed in connection with the sex trafficking case.
Emails reviewed by The Telegraph indicate that Epstein directed private investigators to move materials from his homes into storage facilities before law enforcement could execute search warrants.
Credit card statements cited in the report show regular payments to several storage companies, including one located near Epstein’s Palm Beach mansion.
Additional records indicate that Epstein’s private investigators were instructed to rent a Manhattan storage unit on his behalf. The outlet reported that they were paid tens of thousands of dollars to secure and manage the space.
In August 2009, one month after Epstein was released from jail following a child sex crime conviction, a private investigator contacted him by email regarding computer materials.

According to the publication, Epstein survivor Virginia Giuffre had requested missing computer evidence connected to a civil lawsuit she filed that year.
Giuffre alleged in her lawsuit that Epstein sexually abused her while she was a minor and trafficked her internationally. She died by suicide in April.
“Over the weekend, I learned that plaintiff’s counsel is looking to get from me the computers and paperwork I took from Jeff’s house prior to the Search Warrant,” Bill Riley of the Riley Kiraly private detective agency emailed Epstein and his lawyer, according to the outlet.
“I have them locked in storage and would like to know what to do with them. They are no longer needed in the criminal case, I assume. Is it possible to give you these items for your review and safekeeping, or give it to Darren Indyke [Epstein’s lawyer] or back to Jeff, etc.?”
The email also stated that the computer drives held in storage had been copied, or “cloned,” although the report said it is unknown what happened to those copies.
Other emails in the document release indicated that Epstein instructed private investigators to remove computers from his Florida residence after he was allegedly warned of a police raid in the mid-2000s.
Staff members also discussed transporting computers and CDs from Little Saint James to storage units and wiping them.
Some of the materials stored in the lockers may predate the earliest documents included in the Justice Department’s released Epstein files, according to the report.
While Epstein was serving his sentence at Palm Beach County Jail in May 2009, he emailed Riley, “You were going to send me a copy of [redacted’s] picture,” the outlet reported.
“I thought I had a copy of it on my computer, but it is in storage with everything else. I will get it out next time I go to the storage unit,” Riley replied.
The report also states that Epstein rented another storage unit located five minutes from his New York mansion.
In June 2012, his accountant, Richard Kahn, wrote that the unit primarily held furniture but also contained “a lot of excess equipment,” including “computers, supplies, etc.,” according to the outlet.
The FBI did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment regarding whether the storage facilities were ever searched.
