No surprises in Jeffrey Epstein’s social media accounts.
His Spotify playlists included Louis C.K. and songs like ‘Before You Accuse Me’ and ‘Hot for Teacher.’
His Pinterest includes Peter Pan and Humpty Dumpty imagery for children’s bedrooms, next to Roman and Greek “power dude” interior design images.
Business Insider tracked the sex offender’s public accounts down: “His tastes varied from Gospel music to Broadway show tunes to tracks by the disgraced comic Louis C.K. One of his playlists shares the name of the 24-year-old daughter of his ex-girlfriend.”
A 2017 Supreme Court ruling allowed registered sex offenders to use social media. Before Trump, they were prohibited. In New York, where Epstein had one of his 4 or more (?) homes, sex offenders have to report social media accounts for the state sex offender registry.
The contents of Epstein’s public Spotify account, recently identified by Business Insider, gesture in a similar direction. They illustrate a wildly varied taste in music, from Beethoven to Elton John and Pitbull to Celine Dion. They also suggest a preference for hard-rock songs from the 1970s that emphasized male sexual conquest, as well as the odd song about sexual attraction between children and adults — Van Halen’s “Hot for Teacher” and an Oscar Peterson performance of “My Heart Belongs to Daddy.”
Meanwhile, a Pinterest page includes a painting of Peter Pan, the boy who never grows up and leads a young girl and her siblings out of their home.
Business Insider found three of Epstein’s online accounts after reviewing his correspondence with the Florida probation officers who supervised his release in 2009 after serving 13 months in jail on charges that included soliciting a minor for prostitution. The correspondence indicates Epstein had an email address with the username “jeevacation” — a combination of his initials, J.E.E., and “vacation.”
Business Insider found profiles with the same username on Twitter, Pinterest, and Spotify. The profiles on Twitter and Pinterest bear the name Jeffrey Epstein. The Spotify account lacks his full name, but his followers on the music platform include accounts that appear to belong to women in his social network.
