Shocking new photos of Hunter Biden's drug-ravaged teeth and a raunchy scene with a woman have emerged days after the President's son released a "tell-all" memoir on his years as an addict.
Hunter, 51, described his years on crack and alcohol and numerous sexual encounters with women in his autobiographyBeautiful Things, published this week.
The photos show his ruined teeth while sitting in a dentist's chair, and Biden grinning with new dental veneers as he pulls on the hair of a scantily clad woman.

The pair appear to be in a hotel room or bedroom and the woman is on all fours with Hunter's hand on her back and staring directly into the camera.
The images reportedly were taken from his laptop which allegedly has more than 250,000 text messages, emails, photos and videos chronicling his controversial and troubled past.
Biden left the laptop at a computer repair shop in his father's home state of Delaware and never returned for it.
Another photo appears to show Hunter asleep in a bed with a crack pipe next to him, and another shows him on a bed with two naked women and a small fluffy dog.

In his new memoir, Hunter has spoken candidly about his addiction which happened while his father was Vice President in the Barack Obama administration, between 2009 and 2017.
He told CBS he used crack and alcohol heavily and barely slept after the death of his brother Beau from brain cancer, in 2015.
"I spent more time on my hands and knees picking through rugs, smoking anything that even remotely resembled crack cocaine," he said.
"I went one time for 13 days without sleeping, and smoking crack and drinking vodka exclusively throughout that entire time."

At one point Vice President Biden slipped his secret service detail to go to Hunter's house to intervene at the height of his addiction.
However, dailymail.com has reported that the material on Hunter's laptop reveals an even more debauched life and the conflicting relationship he had with his father.

These include being guarded by a Secret Service agent while on a 2018 drug and prostitute binge in Hollywood.
And text conversations with his father as Joe Biden was preparing to run for Democrat presidential candidate reveal a fraught relationship.
Hunter Biden's divorce from his first wife Kathleen and affair with his brother's widow Hallie had played out in the media in the years prior to the 2020 US presidential election.
One text from Hunter to Joe read: "Your team just made me the uncontrollable troubled tax cheat philanderer sex and drug addict that you tried so hard to fix but couldn't.
The Daily Mail reported the laptop's content, which it had authenticated, contained explicitly videos of himself with prostitutes which he posted on the adult site, Pornhub.
