Newly released emails suggest Jeffrey Epstein may have had a 'secret son'.
Details from over 3.5 million files released regarding the convicted sex offender are still coming to light, after the US Department of Justice (DoJ) made them available to the public, per the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
The files shed light into the jet-setting lifestyle and A-list access which Epstein had, with celebrities such as Bill Clinton, Richard Branson and Naomi Campbell named in the files.
Meanwhile, an unearthed interview saw Epstein answer a 'sexual predator' question.

Being named in the files does not indicate any wrongdoing or knowledge of Epstein's criminal activity.
Now, an unearthed email has suggested the disgraced financier may have had a secret son after he was released from prison in 2011.
In an email sent to Epstein from Sarah Ferguson, the former Duchess of York, she offered her 'love, friendship and congratulations' after hearing the news.
"Don’t know if you’re still on this bbm [BlackBerry Messenger) but have heard from The Duke that you have had a baby boy," read the email, with 'the Duke' likely being a reference to Ferguson's ex-husband Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
"Even though you never kept in touch, I am still here with love, friendship and congratulations on your baby boy."
The message is then signed off with 'Sarah x'.
Prior to the claims made in the 15-year-old email, it was widely believed that Epstein had not fathered any children, with The Telegraph reporting that his fortune was passed to his last known girlfriend Karyna Shuliak after he took his life in 2019.
In a second email, appearing to be from the same chain, Ferguson could be seen accusing Epstein of disappearing on her after getting access to the former Duke of York.
"You have disappeared. I did not even know you were having a baby. It was sooooo crystal clear to me that you were only friends with me to get to Andrew," the email read.
"And that really hurt me deeeply [sic]. More than you will know."
Elsewhere in the files, further details about the relationship between Mountbatten-Windsor and Epstein were revealed, including the fact that King Charles' brother had remained in contact with the financier after 2010 – a revelation which disputes claims made by the former prince in a Newsnight interview.
Images released included several showing Mountbatten-Windsor, who was stripped of his titles last October, on all fours and kneeling over an unidentified woman, while another email showed Epstein offering a Russian woman to meet with an individual identified as 'A' and ''HRH The Duke of York KG'.
The former Duke has consistently denied allegations of sexual misconduct, with the above references not indicating wrongdoing.
LADbible Group previously contacted Andrew's reps for comment.
