Prosecutors have released video evidence of a massive raid on Jeffrey Epstein‘s Palm Beach mansion, which took place in 2005.
The video was revealed before the closing arguments in Ghislaine Maxwell’s child sex-trafficking trial.
In the video, Florida cops are seen finding lurid paintings and sex toys at the mansion.
The footage, which is around an hour-long, shows police entering Epsteine’s home with their guns drawn as they searched each room.
During the search, officers find pictures of scantily clad young girls, a picture of Epstein standing at the White House press podium, and a fully-equipped dentist’s chair.
Police also find a portrait of Maxwell holding what appears to be a Yorkshire terrier, and another picture of her lounging topless.

The video, which was first released in 2019, came after Epstein was found dead in a Manhattan detention center.
The footage has now been re-released as prosecutors, and defense attorneys begin closing arguments in the trial of Maxwell.
Among the evidence released were images that Epstein had of some of the women who have now accused Maxwell of luring them to Epstein.
WATCH:
Among the photos in the mansion is a girl who appears to be around the age of six bending over in a tiny dress with her behind exposed.
Authorities blurred it out in the footage because it was considered explicit.

Another picture shows a dark-haired girl who appears to be around 15 years of age in a tiny black bikini on the wall directly above a totally nude girl lying on a beach.
Some of the photos show Epstein’s then-girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell.
The raid took place after Palm Beach Police Department received multiple reports of sexual assault claims after being lured there under the guise of massages.
Earleir in December, Palm Beach officer Sgt. Michael Dawson testified at Ghislaine Maxwell’s trial about the raid.
As the Daily Mail Reported:
Also released on Monday were photos of a young Annie Farmer, who testified on Friday that the disgraced British socialite gave her a nude massage and groped her at Epstein’s New Mexico ranch.
She said she was lured to the house after meeting Epstein through her sister months earlier because she thought he and Maxwell viewed her as a ‘student they may want to help.’
Farmer, the only accuser using her real name in the case, said she felt comfortable going to Epstein’s ranch because she knew Maxwell would be there and understood that she was Epstein’s girlfriend.
She and two other alleged victims, using the pseudonyms Kate and Jane, as well as a fourth using just her first name, Carolyn, all claim they were only teenagers when Maxwell and Epstein lured and sexually exploited them in the 1990s and early 2000s.
