The Epstein files mention Macon, GA over 20 times, but why? Here’s what we found
The Department of Justice released the full library of files associated with the Jeffrey Epstein case recently and over three million documents are now for the public to view. Under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, these files provide transparency into the investigation of Epstein’s alleged high-profile sex-trafficking ring. Epstein was an American financier and convicted sex offender who died behind bars in 2019.
While the files are full of flight logs, bank statements and emails, the files also mention ‘Macon, GA’ over 20 times.
Why do the Epstein files mention Macon, GA?
The Epstein files mentions Macon, GA around 25 times by a search of “Macon, GA” in the keyword search of the full library. The connections to Macon and local companies do not reflect involvement with Epstein’s alleged actions, however. Here are the results:
- Macon, GA was mentioned in an email from Jun. 4, 2019 from Larry Visoski, who was Epstein’s long-time pilot. It reads: “YOU might see a flight Plan for N120JE Jege, LLC from Macon Ga to Macon Ga today,. FYI, it is only a TEST flight, NO JE on board.” The recipient of the email has been redacted.
- A few other emails mention “test flight” in Macon from Visoski, specifically noting “Stevens Aviation,” at the Middle Georgia Regional Airport in Macon.
- In an email from March 2019 to “Je vacation” from Visoski noting “Stevens Aviaiton in Macon Ga.”
- In an email on Apr. 10, 2019, Macon is mentioned again for a flight. The email is from Visoksi again (with a reply on the 11th). The email begins “Jeffrey, If the schedule stands:” and proceeds to say, “I’ll drop Passenger off and fly the GIV to Macon GA to start Mx at Stevens Aviation.”
- ADT Security Services in Macon is mentioned in a few of the files.
- In an Aug. 2020 email regarding an FBI briefing, Macon is mentioned because of an operation that rescued 39 missing children from Atlanta and Macon: “Investigators fanned out across two cities, Atlanta and Macon, to locate the children. Nine people were arrested on charges that include sex trafficking and kidnapping,” it said.
- The files include a biography of Marc Sijan, a hyperrealistic sculpture artist. Sijan is known for his “incredibly lifelike, sensuous and graceful” figures. Macon, GA is in this file because Sijan’s work was featured in a 2001 exhibition at the Museum of Arts & Sciences in Macon.
- Another file mentions C&P Restaurant Company, based in Macon which is a franchisee of chains like Captain D’s and Cheddar’s.
Please note: The Telegraph reached out to the Museum of Arts & Sciences, but the director declined to comment. Calls to ADT, C&P and Middle Georgia Regional Airport were unsuccessful.
