Epstein’s Connection to Convicted Doctor Revealed

This is disturbing.

Jeffrey Epstein, a well-known sex offender, was a patient of Dr. Darius Paducci, a urologist from Manhattan who has been convicted of sexually abusing children. Recent emails, released as part of the FBI’s investigation into Epstein, indicate that the two met at least once in September 2018. They apparently spent over three hours together in Paducci’s office at Weill Cornell Medical Center.

While it isn’t clear what brought Epstein to see Paducci—who was sentenced to life in prison in 2024 for abusing male patients, including minors—it’s known that this meeting took place on the recommendation of Epstein’s physician. According to emails, Epstein had to plead with Paducci to accommodate him in his busy schedule.

Records show that they met at 8 a.m. on September 26, with an assistant noting that Epstein was in the appointment for quite a while. There’s no shortage of intrigue surrounding Epstein’s activities, as he was scheduled to have dinner that same evening with Woody Allen and his wife, Soon-Yi, after reportedly undergoing a blood test during his visit with Paducci.

Despite the gravity of the situation, Epstein’s staff seemed unclear about whether to seek Medicare reimbursement for the costly medical tests stemming from the appointment with Paducci. In the days following the visit, emails were exchanged that revealed Epstein was anxious about receiving the results of his blood tests. “I have not yet heard from Dr. Paducci,” he expressed in one email, with a subordinate noting that Epstein was eager to get the letter.

Interestingly, the lab results don’t appear to have been included in the extensive document release. This meeting was just one of around 20 doctor visits Epstein had in that year alone.

Experts commented on Epstein’s health, suggesting he might have had hyperparathyroidism, a generally non-threatening hormonal imbalance affecting bone strength.

It’s worth noting that Paducci’s appointment with Epstein occurred years before the first allegations of abuse against him emerged. Though arrested in 2023, the accusations of his misconduct are said to extend back for decades, with more than 300 individuals currently pursuing civil lawsuits against him.
