NEW YORK (AP) - Prosecutors say Jeffrey Epstein kept perhaps thousands of sexually suggestive photographs at his Manhattan mansion.

Officials say in court papers Monday that the pictures included some on CDs with handwritten labels including "Misc nudes 1," ''Girl pics nude" and the names of specific young women.

Prosecutors say federal agents found some of the photos "of young-looking women or girls" in a locked safe while searching the seven-story town house after the wealthy financier's arrest Saturday on sex trafficking charges.

The 66-year-old Epstein is accused of creating and maintaining a network that allowed him to sexually exploit and abuse dozens of girls from 2002 to 2005.

Prosecutors say the lawyer for one of the girls pictured told them the girl was underage when the photos were taken.

It's not clear whether all the photos depict girls involved in the alleged sex trafficking operation.

Epstein's lawyer didn't immediately return messages seeking comment.
