Jeffrey Epstein Purchased Women's Underwear While In Jail?

The Miami Herald continues its investigative reporting on now-deceased accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

Today's odd reveal is that during his leisure lock-up time in jail a decade ago, he purchased two pairs of small women's panties from the jail's store?

Umm...

It was just one of thousands of dollars of purchases made by the disgraced financier while in jail after pleading guilty in 2008 to soliciting a minor for sex, according to a purchase log. (His top purchase was single-serve cups of coffee, of which he bought more than 800 in 13 months.)

But the panties raise questions about why a childless male inmate, accused of sexually abusing girls as young as 14, would be allowed to buy female undergarments so small that they wouldn’t fit an average-sized adult woman.

The panties were certainly too small for Epstein, who also purchased his briefs in men’s medium and sweatshirts ranging from XL to 3XL, and size-12 shoes. So what, or who, were they for, and why wouldn’t the purchase raise eyebrows under the circumstances?
