Meghan Morris of Business Insider tracked down Jeffrey Epstein's social-media accounts. “On Spotify, his tastes ranged from Louis C.K. to songs like 'Before You Accuse Me' and 'Hot for Teacher.'”
Business Insider found the sex offender's public accounts Pinterest, Twitter, and Spotify.
“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. His Pinterest focused on home-design ideas.”
Registered sex offenders are allowed to use social media per a 2017 Supreme Court ruling.
In New York, where Epstein had one of his homes, offenders must report their social-media accounts for its 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.
