High-profile names such as Prince Andrew, Michael Jackson, and former US president Bill Clinton have been named in court documents of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Jeffrey Epstein was found hanged in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan in August 2019. The New York Post reported in June 2023 that the “inspector general said that leaders and staff members at the jail, the federal Metropolitan Correctional Center, created an environment in which Mr. Epstein, a financier awaiting trial on sex trafficking and conspiracy charges, had every opportunity to kill himself.”

In July 2023, Karyna Shuliak was photographed walking around Central Park in New York. Karyna was reportedly Jeffrey Epstein’s last girlfriend and the last person to speak to him before his death. According to the Daily Mail, “The sighting was a rare one for Shuliak, originally from Minsk, who is believed to have arrived in the US in 2009 and married Epstein associate Jennifer Kalin in what was allegedly a sham marriage to keep her in the country.”

The article goes on to say that “Within a few years, she became romantically involved with the financier himself, and would come to earn the nickname ‘the inspector’ for her obsessive snooping on Epstein during their years-long relationship.”

However The Sun reported in 2020 that “Up to 130 people including dozens of Brits say they could be a love child of Jeffrey Epstein.” It also revealed that “Some 386 informants have contacted Epsteinheirs.com — with 30 per cent saying they might be his offspring.”
