Jeffrey Epstein Sent Letter to Larry Nassar from Prison Days Before Suicide, Revealing Sex Offender Network

On August 13, 2019, just days before his death, Jeffrey Epstein sent a letter to Larry Nassar from the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York—a communication discovered returned to sender in the jail’s mail room weeks after Epstein’s suicide. The letter, which was submitted to the FBI for handwriting analysis, revealed an apparent connection between two of the most notorious sex offenders in recent American history. According to documents released in December 2025 as part of the Justice Department’s Epstein files disclosure, the handwritten letter purportedly stated: ‘our president also shares our love of young, nubile girls’—a shocking claim whose authenticity remains unverified as no public findings from the FBI’s handwriting analysis have been released.

The Epstein-Nassar letter emerged from over 30,000 documents related to the Epstein investigation released by the Justice Department, providing a rare glimpse into potential networks among high-profile sex offenders. The State Appellate Defender Office representing Nassar stated it ‘is not aware of any relationship between Mr. Nassar and Jeffrey Epstein’ and had no knowledge of the letter or Epstein’s attempt to contact Nassar. This lack of documented prior relationship raised disturbing questions about whether Epstein was attempting to establish connections with other imprisoned sex offenders or whether undisclosed networks existed among elite offenders who abused positions of trust and power.

The timing of Epstein’s letter to Nassar—during his final days at the Metropolitan Correctional Center before his August 10, 2019 death—suggested potential desperation or an attempt to reach out to someone Epstein perceived as sharing similar circumstances. Nassar was serving a de facto life sentence of 40-175 years in Michigan state prison after being convicted of sexually abusing hundreds of young gymnasts under the guise of medical treatment. Epstein faced federal sex trafficking charges for allegedly abusing dozens of underage girls at his Manhattan mansion and Palm Beach estate, using his wealth and connections to powerful figures to facilitate and conceal his crimes.

The letter’s reference to ‘our president’ allegedly sharing ‘our love of young, nubile girls’ added another disturbing dimension to the Epstein files, though the Justice Department warned that some documents contained ‘untrue and sensationalist claims made against President Trump’ without specifying which files contained such claims. The inability to verify the letter’s authenticity through released handwriting analysis findings meant the communication’s significance remained unclear—whether it represented genuine correspondence revealing networks among elite sex offenders or potentially fabricated material designed to damage political figures.

The Epstein-Nassar connection, even if only an attempted one-way communication, illustrated patterns in how powerful institutions protected sex offenders for decades. Both Epstein and Nassar exploited positions of trust, wealth, and institutional access to abuse vulnerable young people while institutions—including the FBI, USA Gymnastics, Michigan State University, and the U.S. Department of Justice—systematically failed to investigate credible allegations for years or decades. The FBI’s failures in both cases demonstrated how federal law enforcement prioritizes relationships with powerful individuals and institutions over protecting vulnerable victims from serial predators.

The release of the Epstein-Nassar letter as part of the December 2025 document dump revealed how interconnected networks of institutional failure enabled systematic abuse. While the two men operated in different spheres—Epstein in elite financial and political circles, Nassar in elite athletic institutions—both exploited institutional protection, victim-silencing, and law enforcement failures to continue abusing for decades. The letter’s existence, regardless of its authenticity, raised questions about whether other connections existed among elite sex offenders who understood how to manipulate institutional systems to enable and conceal serial abuse of vulnerable young people.
