The silver-framed photograph labeled "Item #10" seized during searches of Jeffrey Epstein's mansion has once again made headlines alongside documents leaked in early 2026. The photograph's depiction of Epstein's closeness to a young child reveals the dark side of the case once more.
The massive dataset shared by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) under the "Epstein Transparency Act" continues to reveal concrete evidence of Epstein's personal life and criminal tendencies. Among these documents, a silver-framed picture photographed on an evidence bag has been described as "horrific" by the foreign press (The Guardian, Sky News, People).
The shared image shows a silver frame resting on an evidence table. In the photo inside the frame: Jeffrey Epstein is seen holding a small child in his lap or very close to him.
"ACTING LIKE HE'S GOING TO BITE HIS LEG"
The child in the photo is sitting on Epstein's lap or right next to him; some leaked analyses claim that the moment when Epstein appears to be biting or playfully interacting with the child's leg is captured.
ADDED AS FORMAL EVIDENCE
The yellow label at the bottom of the image, marked "Item #10," certifies that this photo is formal forensic evidence taken from Epstein's homes in Manhattan or Palm Beach.
THE COUNTRY IS TALKING ABOUT THIS PHOTO
International media organizations state that this photo was displayed just outside or very close to Epstein's bedroom. The Guardian reported, based on prosecution documents, that such photos containing "sexual implications or showing closeness to children" were displayed as a decorative element in Epstein's homes.
People Magazine emphasized in its reports from December 2025 and January 2026 how these images were a "normalized" part of Epstein's child abuse network.
WHY ARE IDENTITIES REDACTED?
In these and similar photos published by the Department of Justice, the faces of the victims or potential child victims are presented as "redacted." Experts state that the identity of this child has not yet been shared with the public, but investigation units are pursuing these names.
THE LABEL ATTRACTED ATTENTION
This photo is definitive evidence from the official archives of the FBI and the Department of Justice, unlike the "fake" lists circulating on social media. The "Item #10" label confirms that this frame is not just a memory but a "crime scene finding" used against Epstein and his accomplices (like Ghislaine Maxwell) in court.
