JEFFREY Epstein paid thousands of pounds to have himself and young women made into “real-life” chess figures. The sex offender and a string of women in their 20s reportedly had photos taken of them which were then used to model pieces for a private chessboard. Sources told TMZ that the women came into the shop over several months and posed for snaps in stylish outfits. One of the pieces was modelled after a mystery man who came in with the women, but he was not Epstein. It was said to have cost the paedophile - who hung himself in 2019 while on trial for sex trafficking offences - $5,000 for 36 chess pieces.
