Epstein Allegedly Called Himself 'Sultan' - Dark Obsession with Ottoman Harems

New details surrounding Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender, are emerging, revealing a dark obsession with imperial symbolism and the creation of a “harem.” According to testimony from one of his accusers, Epstein referred to himself as a “Sultan” and hinted at creating a “harem” where the woman would have the role of a “favorite.” The woman describes a pattern of psychological manipulation, starting as a mentorship and gradually evolving into coercive behavior with sexual undertones. Financial support offered to her was stopped when she refused to meet these demands. Epstein is said to have shown a particular obsession with the Ottoman Empire and Topkapi Palace in Istanbul, asking the woman to study historical plans and accounts of women in imperial harems, presenting this model as a system of safety and privilege. Additional reports even mention references to Babylon, indicating a more general obsession with ancient empires and the power dynamics they embodied.
