Newly surfaced documents linked to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein have drawn attention online after emails appeared to reference Singapore-linked individuals.
The materials are part of a broader release of documents related to Epstein’s associates and correspondence, which have been circulating internationally in recent weeks.
Among the documents released by the United States (US) Department of Justice is a 2010 email sent to Epstein, which stated that he “did not want to call” because “we were not alone: girl from Singapore”.

Another email from June 2016, addressed to Epstein, described a woman in flattering terms and mentioned that she held an O-1 visa and planned to travel to New York.
An O-1 Visa is a temporary work visa reserved for a select few individuals who are nationally or internationally regarded as experts in the following fields:
- Arts
- Athletics
- Business
- Education
- Motion picture and television
- Sciences
The message did not explicitly state her nationality, but the sender allegedly has a picture of her in Singapore.
