‘This is the mother of my child.’
That is what Jeffrey Epstein confessed to one of his victims alluding to a picture of a blonde woman displayed inside his New York mansion, according to bombshell files released by the Department of Justice.
In the newly disclosed account, the woman, who claims she was sexually assaulted by Epstein for years since she was 16, told investigators the convicted pedophile had pointed to a photo of a blonde on a beach and claimed she had given birth to his baby.
Epstein described the woman as ‘perfect’ and even displayed a sculpted mold of her torso inside his Manhattan townhouse.
The stunning claim, part of the tranche of documents recently released by the Justice Department, is likely to reignite longtime speculation about whether Epstein secretly fathered a child – particularly given longstanding reports that the sex offender wanted to seed a new human race with his DNA.
The claims have been repeatedly denied by Epstein’s brother Mark, who insists the late financier never had a child.
But the Daily Mail has also uncovered several accounts of Epstein asking women to carry his child, including one FBI interview with a different victim who claimed he wanted her to have his baby.
The files also laid bare a striking photograph showing Epstein hugging a woman in his New York home while she cradles a baby in her arms.

The faces of both the mini-skirted woman, whose blonde hair is slightly visible, and the child are concealed. But Epstein is seen smiling as he looks over at her with one hand on her waist.
Epstein was pictured holding a baby in other images released in the thousands of documents, though the children’s faces are concealed and they have never been identified.
The speculation about Epstein secretly having a child intensified last month when emails from his former close friend Sarah Ferguson came to light.
The former Duchess of York wrote to Epstein in September 2011 congratulating him on becoming a dad.
She wrote: ‘Don’t know if you are still on this bbm [BlackBerry Messenger] but heard from The Duke that you have had a baby boy.
‘Even though you never kept in touch, I still am here with love, friendship and congratualtions [sic] on your baby boy. Sarah xx.’
The victim who disclosed Epstein’s admission of fatherhood spoke to the FBI in January 2020, five months after he was found dead in his cell in New York while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
She had quite a harrowing story to tell.

The woman wrote that Epstein brought up the idea of her having his baby while they were in Palm Beach (PB) – a suggestion that allegedly angered his longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell
An immigrant from a country that is redacted, she said she moved to Kansas and her parents worked at McDonalds to support the family.
She was discovered by a modeling scout and began living in New York when she was 16.
In 2005 she met Epstein on five occasions, introduced through contacts in the modeling world.
In the victim’s disturbing account she says she was still a virgin when she met the pedophile, who bragged after abusing her that she was the ‘best d*** sucker’.
The woman told the FBI: ‘In another suite of his residence, there was a picture of a blonde woman on the beach.
‘Epstein told (redacted) that this was the mother of his child.
‘There was a torso sculpture, like a mold – Epstein said this mold was of this woman.
‘Epstein told that this woman was perfect. Epstein told that her husband will be very lucky’.
The account of Epstein asking a third woman to have his baby appears in handwritten notes from what appears to be a British victim.
She wrote about one time she was at Epstein’s house in Palm Beach, Florida, he ‘brought up (the) subject of having a child and GM (Maxwell) upset and pissed’.

This woman claimed that Maxwell, who once dated Epstein before becoming his house manager, ‘punished me because of it’.
She wrote that it was ‘humiliating for her [Maxwell]that JE want have child w/me and not her. I look more his type’.
Epstein’s interest in having a child has been reported in chilling detail before including a report in the New York Times from 2019 which said that Epstein wanted to use his New Mexico ranch as a base to impregnate women with his semen.
He was said to have been obsessed by transhumanism, the science of improving the human population with AI or genetic engineering.
The plan was that the women would be inseminated at Zorro: some victims have claimed they woke up at the ranch surrounded by lab equipment.
The other two women who claimed that Epstein wanted to father children with them were Virginia Giuffre, who claimed she was loaned to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor for sex, and Johanna Sjoberg, who detailed the request in a deposition from a defamation case filed by Giuffre against Maxwell in 2015.
Writing in her posthumous memoir, which was released last year, Giuffre, who killed herself in April 2025 aged 41, said that ‘everything about Epstein and Maxwell’s brazen request felt wrong’.
She wrote: ‘There was no way I wanted to bring a child into the world for them to raise. What if the baby were female?
The pedophile entertained guests and victims at his lavish Upper East Side townhouse, where the photograph was reportedly displayed
‘Was the plan for Epstein and Maxwell to have me bring that little girl up until she reached puberty, then hand her over for them to abuse?’.
Giuffre, who was 18 at the time, agreed to the request but fled when Epstein sent her to Thailand to train as a masseuse.
Sjoberg detailed the request in a deposition from a defamation case filed by Giuffre against Maxwell in 2015.
In the full transcript of Giuffre’s defamation case, Sjoberg, asked if anyone ever asked her to have his baby, replied: ‘Jeffrey asked me’.
Sjoberg said that Epstein asked multiple times and told her: ‘Basically just said, I want you to be the mother of my baby’.
Asked about her response, Sjoberg said: ‘I don’t believe that I said flat-out no. I didn’t agree to it. I would just say, Oh, yeah, really? Okay’.
