There have been social media posts and Reddit threads asserting that a DOJ-released file shows Epstein outdoors with a magnifying glass burning or torturing a woman or tied person. Some versions even describe it as depicting a child.

The claim that a DOJ image conclusively shows Jeffrey Epstein burning someone tied up with a magnifying glass is unverified and lacks confirmation from reputable news sources. The available authoritative reporting focuses on victims’ identities being exposed and thousands of files being retracted for redaction issues — not evidence of torture imagery included in the official release.

There is active discussion online in unmoderated forums where users have posted alleged links to specific PDF files and claimed they show disturbing images.
