A rogue “Jeffrey Epstein Walk of Shame” has emerged near the White House, highlighting politicians and businessmen linked to the late child sex offender.
The stickers are designed to resemble the stars on the famous Hollywood Walk of Fame and were photographed by Getty on Sunday, with Epstein’s face replacing the television, movie, music or theater symbols on regular plaques.
It’s unclear who is responsible, but they were placed around Farragut Square in Washington, a five-minute walk from the White House.

Each sticker has a QR code on it that can be scanned to open documents on the Justice Department’s website or information linking that person to Epstein, MS Now reported.
Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell also appears in the headline “Child Sex Trafficker.” Maxwell, 64, was sentenced to 20 years in prison in June 2022 for sex trafficking. The Trump administration approved her move to a lower-security prison camp in Texas.

A star belonging to 54-year-old billionaire Elon Musk appeared to be torn off on Sunday, but a QR code left behind opened a Justice Department website and a 2012 email from Epstein to Musk. Epstein asked “how many people are you going to helicopter to the island,” to which Musk replied “probably just Tallulah and me. What day/night will be the wildest party on your island?”

Billionaire Howard Lutnick, Donald Trump’s pick for commerce secretary, also appears in the “Walk of Shame.”
Lutnick, 64, previously claimed that he met Epstein only once, in 2005, and then severed all contact. However, the latest Epstein file dump contains emails between the two years after Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to soliciting a minor.
The Republican also admitted that he had lunch with Epstein in 2012 and brought his wife, four children and their nanny with him. Last week, a photo surfaced that appeared to show Lutnick on an island with Epstein.
The DOJ said the photo was “part of a batch of files marked for nudity” and had not been removed.
Billionaire Les Wexner
Billionaire retail tycoon Les Wexner, 88, is also on the “walk of shame.”
The Victoria’s Secret founder appears thousands of times in Epstein’s dossier, but he denies any knowledge of Epstein’s crimes and claims he was “duped” by the disgraced financier, who gave Epstein a power of attorney over his finances in 1991.
“My trust in Jeffrey Epstein was naive, foolish and gullible,” Wexner told the House Oversight Committee last month. They subpoenaed him as part of an investigation into the government’s handling of the Epstein case. “I never saw the side of Epstein’s life that he is now infamous for.”

The “walk of shame” also included former Prince Andrew, ex-Treasury Secretary Larry Summers and billionaire Steve Jobs.
Former President Bill Clinton also appears in the gallery. The 79-year-old appeared before the House Oversight Committee on Friday. “I did nothing wrong,” he insisted, adding that he had “no knowledge” of Epstein’s crimes during their contacts decades ago.
“My brief acquaintance with Epstein ended long before his crimes came to light,” Clinton said. “Had I known anything about what Epstein was doing, he would not have been on his plane,” she noted.
