Framed naked photo of Ghislaine Maxwell seen on desk in Epstein mansion in never-before-seen pics at sex abuse trial
POLICE photos showing what appears to be framed nude picture of Ghislaine Maxwell were shown to the jury at her sex trafficking trial.
Prosecutors released more than 60 images from a police raid at Jeffrey Epstein's infamous Palm Beach mansion as part of the case.
Maxwell face six charges of sexual abuse and trafficking over her alleged role in convicted sex offender Epstein's sexual "pyramid scheme".
The jury was shown police videotape and photos of the interior of Epstein's Florida home.
US justice officials have now released a selection of the images to the public as the trial continues.
The video and pictures were taken during a search of the mansion - which has been dubbed the "House of Sin" - during the 2005 investigation into Epstein.
Photos include images of a room in the property with a desk which appears to have a .
It appears to be a now-famous photo of her lying on a beach, and above it there is a framed portrait of her hanging on the wall.
The photo of her lying nude on a beach has been widely reported on after it was previously revealed to have been found at the mansion.

Prosecutors claim the interior of Epstein's mansion is proof of a sexualized atmosphere encouraged by Maxwell to put pressure on the victims.
The evidence was presented over the objection of the defence, with Maxwell's lawyer saying it was an attempt to unfairly depict the house as a "domicile of debauchery".
The pictures were released as another accuser took to the stand, and claimed Ghislaine would name drop celebs like Prince Andrew and Donald Trump.
Neither are accused of wrongdoing in relation to the case.
Elsewhere in the mansion, you can see paintings of nude women hanging on the wall - with a bare bum visible in one, and two naked women lying on a bed in the other.
A photo of a seemingly naked woman is also seen hanging on a door between the two sketches.
And meanwhile, in pictures of one of the bedrooms you can see boxes of tissues sitting on beside tables.
Epstein's shower room is seen including a red sofa, above it which appears to be pictured of naked people.
Other images show the house seemingly being searched by law enforcement.
Close ups show of what appears to be one of Epstein's desks with stationary emblazoned with his name.
Many rooms are seen piled high with books, and almost all of them have small water bottles strategically placed around.

During the final session of the first week of the trial, jurors were shown Epstein’s massage table, which was seized in the raid.
Cop Michael Dawson told the jury: "We were looking for massage tables, we were looking for massage oils, we were looking for sex toys, we were looking for correspondence."
Prosecutors have said the multi-millionaire financier's abuse of teenage victims began as massages before escalating, with the term used as a ruse to get girls to touch him.
What we've heard so far:
- Donald Trump, Prince Andrew and Bill Clinton all flew on Jeffrey Epstein's private jet, the paedo millionaire's former pilot said
- Epstein introduced a 14-year-old sex abuse victim to Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort, the court was tol
- Maxwell handed Epstein's housekeeper a "degrading" 58-page booklet which shows staff were told to "see nothing and say nothing".
- She is alleged to have "served up" young girls to her former lover and also allegedly participated in some of the attacks.
- One of Epstein's victims 'Jane' alleged the socialitewhen she was sexually abused as a 14-year-old
The green massage table was seized from Epstein's Palm Beach mansion, where Maxwell also lived, as part of a 2005 investigation into claims he molested children.
The jury was also told "small" schoolgirl costumes were found at the mansion, as well as sex toys, including a 'Twin Torpedo'.
Prosecutor Alison Moe said the outfits found at the mansion "speaks to a preference for underage girls".
She said: "Schoolgirl costumes, small ones, were found on the same floor of the house by the massage rooms where underage girls were abused."
Earlier, the jury was told Maxwell handed Jeffrey Epstein's housekeeper a "degrading" 58-page booklet which shows staff were told to "see nothing and say nothing".
Juan Patricio Alessi, 71, who worked at the paedo's mansion in Palm Beach, Florida from 1990 to 2002.
He said that the Brit once handed him a hefty booklet with a checklist detailing the tasks he was to carry out to "maintain the house" - something he said he found "degrading".
The book, which was submitted into evidence and was written by a "Countess", the court heard, was released today showing yet more strict rules staff members were told to follow.
Employees were told to "be cautious of voice levels and noise" while working at the property.
They were also told: "Remember that you see nothing, hear nothing, say nothing, except to answer a question directed at you."
Housekeeper Alessi - who lived at Epstein's mansion - told the court that Maxwell would sleep in the paedophile monster's bedroom when she stayed at the Florida home.
The 71-year-old told police in 2005 that he would wash off vibrators and a rubber penis after Epstein's massages with girls.
He said the bed sheets would be changed after each massage, suggesting there was some kind of sexual activity taking place.
Giving evidence on Thursday, Alessi spoke about finding sex toys in his boss' massage room.
She is also alleged to have lied under oath by hiding her participation in Epstein's offences during a separate civil case.
The first week of the trial heard the Ghislaine Maxwell trial.
Lawrence Visoski, who is testifying for the prosecution, was quizzed during cross examination about passengers aboard Epstein's private planes.
Maxwell was the "number two" in the hierarchy of Epstein's employees, while the millionaire himself was the "big number one", he said.
And he confirmed Trump, Andrew and Clinton all flew on the jet - along with other big names such as Hollywood stars Kevin Spacey & Chris Tucker, violinist Itzhak Perlman, and US Senators John Glenn & George Mitchell.
