After a yearlong investigation, police had completed interviews with dozens of girls. Detectives even picked through Epstein’s trash and discovered incriminating messages on scraps of paper documenting phone calls.

“She is wondering if 2:30 is OK . . . She needs to stay in school,” read one document obtained during the course of our investigation.

Another slip of paper suggested that Epstein had had a bouquet of roses sent to one teen at her high school following a school performance.

An Amazon packing slip addressed to Epstein that we obtained reveals he’d ordered some seriously disturbing reading material: Slavecraft: Roadmaps for Erotic Servitude, Training with Miss Abernathy: A Workbook for Erotic Slaves, and SM 101: A Realistic Introduction.

Was his sexual exploitation confined to young girls? A piece of note paper obtained by cops and recovered by our team shows that someone jotted down the urls “TonyaWorld.com” and “Trannsvicious.aol.com.” The former is still live at the time of this writing, featuring “T-Girls from All Over the World,” “Ethnic SheMales,” “Thousands of SheMales,” and “Direct Contacts” for the models on the site.

Armed with such details from their surveillance work, the police finally got the go-ahead to raid the home on El Brillo Way.

What about the people who are helping to cover up child sex crimes? I think they should be afraid.
