One image is of a child raped and murdered in Indonesia in October 2015, and the other is of Obama with his niece at the White House in December 2015. 5 min read

This Facebook post purporting to show images of a child allegedly sexually assaulted by former United States President Barack Obama is FALSE.

The post claims the images were released in documents naming those associated with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The post reads: Photos of former US President Obama, one of those named in Epsteins paedophilia and prostitution documents released the other day, raping a little girl have been leaked. The dossier also contains photographs of the same child being taken out of a cardboard box after she had been kidnapped and sold as a sex slave, and then, most likely, tortured and killed.

One image is of a childs body stuffed in a box, tied up with duct tape. The other image is of Obama snuggling a young girl.

On 3 January 2024, court documents naming wealthy financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epsteins associates began being unsealed. Obama is not among those named in the newly released court documents. Epstein died by suicide in 2019 following his arrest on federal child sex trafficking charges.

A reverse search on Google Lens established that the first image is of a child who was defiled and murdered in Jakarta, Indonesia, in October 2015.

The image was featured in a 3 October 2015-dated article by The Jarkata Observer with a headline in Indonesian translating to; The discovery of a girls body in a cardboard box shocked Kamal residents.

According to the Jakarta Globe, the police in Jakarta identified the child as 9-year-old Putri Nur Fauziyah.

The lifeless body of Putri Nur Fauziyah, who was raped before she was murdered, was found inside an empty cardboard box in the Kalideres area last week and police have since collected DNA samples from relatives and neighbors, the report reads.

The incident was also reported by other media outlets.

A Google reverse image search established that the second image is of Obama and his niece.

The image, taken on 4 December 2015, was uploaded on Flickr on 8 January 2016 with the caption, The President snuggles with his niece Savita Ng after his sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, and her family dropped by the Oval Office.

The image is attributed to Pete Souza, former chief official White House photographer and director of the White House photo office for the Obama administration.

Souza published the photo on his personal blog on 30 December 2015 with the same caption.

The photograph is also available on Wikimedia Commons within the same context.
