Court Documents Reveal Epstein's Incriminating Sex-Slave Study Habits

Newly unsealed court documents have exposed the reading habits of the deceased alleged pedophile Jeffrey Epstein — featuring multiple books on sex slavery purchased on Amazon, including SlaveCraft: Roadmaps for Erotic Servitude. The reading list carries a dark connotation in the case of Epstein, whom the documents allege kept an unconsenting teen “in a situation of sexual servitude.”

Epstein, the wealthy Manhattan socialite who was found dead in his jail cell over the weekend, was a registered sex offender who had been convicted in a plea deal of prostitution charges in 2008, including for soliciting a minor. But Epstein’s criminal activity with minors is alleged to have been far more serious, and he was arrested in July on federal sex-trafficking and conspiracy charges. The federal indictment alleges that “Epstein created a vast network of underage victims for him to sexually exploit.”

On Friday, shortly before Epstein’s jail-cell death — reported as a suicide, though an investigation is ongoing — court documents from a related civil case were unsealed, making some of the evidence against Epstein public for the first time.

The documents relate to a defamation case against Epstein’s longtime associate and alleged madam Ghislaine Maxwell, brought by Virginia Giuffre, who says she was trafficked by Epstein as a teen. Giuffre sued Maxwell for defamation in 2015, after Maxwell called her claims — including that Maxwell had participated in her trafficking — untrue. The case was settled in 2017. (The documents were unsealed in response to a separate legal action involving the Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz, who released a statement in response to their disclosure.)

I thought books like that were about role playing not actually enslaving someone.
