A cinematic clip showing a man uncovering a cage containing a woman who claims to be pregnant and cries for help is being falsely shared as a horrific scene from the ‘Epstein Files’ released by the US Justice Department.
BOOM found that the visuals are a work of fiction from a horror film by independent filmmakers Parker Haj and Chester Beckington. The footage was originally uploaded to the YouTube channel 'Life of Luxury' on April 5, 2025.
The viral claim comes amid renewed public interest and outrage following the release of documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The high-profile nature of the case, involving global political and business elites, has frequently served as a catalyst for conspiracy theories on social media. Recently, the Ministry of External Affairs rejected the mention of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s name in related documents, calling them “trashy ruminations by a convicted criminal”.
The Claim
A verified X user shared the video with the caption, “Pregnant minors treated like animals and the world still debates ‘proof,’” along with a hashtag linking it to the Epstein Files.
