House committee releases Epstein estate photos showing women with *Lolita* quotes, amid broader document release.

On December 18, 2025, the House Oversight Committee released new photos from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate showing women with handwritten quotes from Vladimir Nabokov’s *Lolita* inscribed on their bodies, including phrases like “She was Dolly at school” and “Lo-lee-ta.” The images, part of a larger trove of about 95,000 files, also feature a copy of the novel in the background, redacted passports from Ukraine, the Czech Republic, and Russia, and images of public figures such as Bill Gates, Sergey Brin, and Noam Chomsky, though context is lacking. The release coincides with the expected public disclosure of the Justice Department’s full Epstein-related documents, amid ongoing scrutiny of Epstein’s network and the disturbing use of literary references to normalize sexual exploitation.
