ALBAWABA - The scandal of American financier and minor sex offender Jeffrey Epstein continues to flood online, with the latest shocking email proving that he ordered a painting which shows babies killed.
A newly seen email between a girl named Sara K and a person called Rich Barnett has ignited new controversy on social media, with people saying Epstein was obsessed with children and torture.
The email reads, "Hi Rich, Jeffrey is asking if you can Fedex the painting he had made of the Massacre of the Innocents to the ranch. It's the large 9'x9' canvas that we had rolled out for him to see in the entry way where they are killing babies. He wants to use it on the ranch and is hoping you could Fedex it to arrive by Wednesday? Thanks.. Sarah"

The Massacre of the Innocents painting was done by Flemish Artist Peter Paul Rubens, depicting the story of the biblical "Massacre of the Innocents of Bethlehem", as related in the Gospel of Matthew (2:13–18).
The Massacre of the Innocents of Bethlehem, according to the Bible, is when King Herod ordered the killing of all male infants in Bethlehem under the age of 2 after hearing that a new "King of the Jews" (Jesus) had been born.
Some activists allegedly said that Epstein wanted to hang the painting in the place where they were killing babies, but others say that the email is written in poor English and the phrase "where they're killing babies" refers to the painting and not a place on Epstein's island.
One explained, "where they're killing babies" = the own painting". Meanwhile, another added, "I thought I was going to be grateful when this stuff was exposed but I’m just sickened even more."
In another email sent by Jeffrey Epstein to an unknown person, explaining that a victim said that she felt God's presence when she was in bed, and she knows that Jesus is watching over her and helped save her life.
The person answered, "You should dress up as him [Jesus] when you see her."
