Evidence of trafficking operations, transportation, and recruitment pipelines.
FBI call notes from May 2023 document a third victim who came forward via attorney Jeanne Christensen (Wigdor LLP). Key details from EFTA02731488:
This is the third independent victim to describe identical violent behavior by Leon Black, corroborating the forensically verified diary entries and the 2021 Wigdor memo. Unlike the previous victims, this victim has contemporaneous medical records documenting the assault.
In July 2010, Staley and Epstein exchanged emails using Disney character code names for women: Staley: "That was fun. Say hi to Snow White." Epstein: "what character would you like next" Staley: "Beauty and the Beast" Epstein: "well one side is availble." The victim diary says Staley called her "tinkerbell". Cited in USVI v. JPMorgan (¶61) as evidence Staley "may have been involved in Epstein's sex-trafficking operation."
The David Rodgers (Epstein pilot) deposition reveals Henry Jarecki was a passenger on two consecutive flights with underage Virginia Roberts (now Virginia Giuffre) in March 2001:
This places Jarecki at Zorro Ranch simultaneously with an underage trafficking victim. The court filing (Case 18-2868, McCawley Declaration) explicitly notes these flights occurred "while underage" in reference to Virginia Roberts. Jarecki was present for the entire duration — flying in with Roberts and flying out two days later with both Roberts and Prince Andrew.
Pilot Larry Visoski confirmed in his deposition (EFTA00159483) that he recognized Jarecki: "I know the name. He may have been on the airplane once or twice."
Critical context: The same Jarecki who flew with Virginia Roberts in 2001 was later sued in 2024 by "Jane Doe 11" — another Epstein victim — who alleged Jarecki "repeatedly raped" her after Epstein sent her to Jarecki for psychiatric "treatment." The lawsuit alleged Jarecki was Epstein's "go-to doctor" for his sexual abuse victims.
MC2 Model Management, owned by Jean-Luc Brunel, was funded by Epstein and used as a trafficking vehicle. FBI interviews and financial records document the full money trail.
FBI interview of Sergio Cordero (Brunel's business partner) confirms:
"1. Cordero confirmed that Brunel uses MC2 as a legitimate transport agency of underage girls into America for purposes of sex.
2. Brunel uses MC2 to introduce underage girls to Epstein since Epstein gave him $1 million dollars to start up MC2 after he was fired from various modeling agencies in Paris.
6. According to Cordero, Brunel has always been Epstein's principal supplier of underage girls using MC2 as a cover up.
8. Many of the underage girls that Brunel and Epstein shared and liked continue to live in Brunel's 1 bedroom apt in NY. Some live in Epstein's East 66 St apts in Manhattan."
The money trail is clear: Epstein seeded MC2 with $1M → MC2 operated as both legitimate modeling agency and trafficking front → MC2's finances were managed by Richard Kahn (Epstein's financial controller) → Epstein extended credit lines of $750K-$854K → MC2 accumulated $594K in federal tax liens → MC2 was flagged by JPMorgan's own due diligence but the bank continued processing transactions.
JPMorgan's SAR (EFTA01648787) subsequently named MC2 Model Management among the entities in its $1.08B suspicious activity report.
An internal FBI New York Violent Crime Threat email chain from July 24, 2025 (EFTA01648951) contains compiled victim statement summaries against named individuals. An ASAC requested summaries be built into a spreadsheet of derogatory information (EFTA01648955).
The FBI ASAC's task list characterizes the Barr entry as: "William Barr, for being present when a girl was raped."
Note: These are FBI-compiled victim statement summaries, not verified findings. Some allegations may lack corroboration. The document reflects what the FBI was tracking as of July 2025.
Steve Scully, an IT/telecommunications contractor, was interviewed by the FBI on August 9, 2019 — the day before Epstein's death (EFTA00090602). He worked on Epstein's Little St. James island from approximately 1999-2005/2006, visiting roughly 100 times.
In a separate inquiry (EFTA00147046, Feb 2020), The Sun reporter James Beal told the FBI that Scully witnessed "Prince Andrew groping and kissing" a young woman on island loungers between 2001-2004. Scully said he was willing to testify but was "never specifically asked" about Prince Andrew. FBI response: "No comment is the perfect answer."
NY Giants co-owner Steve Tisch (825+ documents) had an extensive relationship with Epstein from April 2013 through at least August 2017. Emails show Epstein systematically procured 6–9 distinct women for Tisch in just three months, including a distressed Ukrainian woman who was crying.
In emails titled “Ukrainian Girl” (EFTA00959489), Epstein reports to Tisch: “report just in, you did very well, she wants to go to the play—she is a little freaked by the age difference but go slow and wait, I will try to convince her not to return to ukraine, having her crying worked.”
Tisch responds (EFTA00959493): “Nice report. Funny comment on crying!!!”
In the same thread, Tisch asks about another woman: “pro or civilian?” (asking whether she is a prostitute). Epstein responds with a crude physical description. Epstein also tells Tisch: “send me a number to call I dont like records of these conversations.”
CRITICAL: The “Russian Katya” and the “acting student” passed to Tisch are the same person — Ekaterina (Katya) Gusarova, a Russian national on a student visa in NYC.
EFTA00873949 (June 17, 2013): Epstein emails Tisch simply “polina emily katya, I will be in ny 24-27, are you there?” — three women listed by first name as available inventory. Epstein checked on Polina at least 4 times over 3 weeks (EFTA00960611: “anything happen with polina?”).
EFTA00985636 (March 16, 2014): A woman emails Epstein: “Gonna meet Steve Tisch next week for a dinner. He said that he gonna work on 3 movies starting June. So I’ll ask if I can read scripts and maybe audition for some part.”
EFTA00986371 (March 20, 2014): Same woman: “Ok — I’m going to have a lunch right now with Steve Tisch :) lol. I’ll say hi from you? :) ahaha. Kisses my dear Jeffrey :) Miss you :(” Epstein invites her to ranch: “Maybe you should come to ranch on mon-wed, Jenn will be there.”
This confirms the procurement pipeline continued nearly a year after the initial introduction, with the woman maintaining contact with both Epstein and Tisch.
EFTA02521524: April 24, 2013 dinner plans include Steve Tisch, Jean-Luc Brunel, Boris, Blaine, Katya, and Todd Meister — Tisch dining with a convicted sex trafficker at Epstein’s arrangement. EFTA02705521: Inner circle reminder lists “Mort, Leon, Steve Tisch, Hanson, Todd, Jessica, Suzana” — Tisch alongside Leon Black and Mort Zuckerman.
The NFL announced an investigation into Tisch’s Epstein connections in February 2026. Tisch claimed his association was “brief” and about “adult women,” but the emails span April 2013 to August 2017 (EFTA01037911: Todd Meister and Tisch “talking very fondly about you”) with 825+ documents and a systematic pattern of procurement.
Ekaterina (Katya) Gusarova (617 documents) is a Russian national on a student visa in NYC who Epstein controlled through immigration leverage and pressured into recruiting other young women. Her documents provide some of the most explicit evidence of Epstein’s recruitment methodology.
EFTA00921172: Gusarova writes to Epstein: “We had sex, I did massage for u non-stop, I took a bath with u and your girls even if I don’t like it…I’m kind of girl who come to entertain u when there are no other girls around to make u blow-job or massage.”
Epstein explicitly ordered Gusarova to recruit through her friend “Anya” and paid for results:
Epstein used Gusarova’s visa dependency to maintain control:
EFTA02037406 (April 24, 2013): Gusarova was placed at dinner with Steve Tisch and Jean-Luc Brunel (convicted sex trafficker) at The General restaurant. Epstein gave her email to Tisch (EFTA00695655) while simultaneously telling her “you still need to find me a girl.” He later offered her to Tisch for a late-night meetup: “I can invite the russain katya” (EFTA00657216); “shes still in class probably.”
Gusarova’s relationship with Epstein spanned nearly 8 years. Key milestones: introduced Aug 2011 via connection to Kazakhstan PM Karim Masimov; first visa/control disputes Oct 2011; recruitment pressure begins mid-2012; Tisch/Brunel dinner Apr 2013; green card lottery Oct 2013; same-day schedule as Bill Gates Dec 2013; still visiting townhouse Jun 2017; visa funding pipeline Apr 2019.
Note: Ekaterina Norton (UBS investment banker, ekaterina.norton@googlemail.com) is a different person who appears in overlapping timeframes. Epstein had at least two “Katyas” in his orbit — Lesley Groff asked “Clarify which Katya?” (EFTA00353894).
Contractual control with visa leverage: Gusarova had a formal "agreement" with Epstein and was asked to recruit other women. Her immigration status was used as leverage — a classic trafficking coercion mechanism.
EFTA00509258 (Feb 14, 2019) — An iMessage extraction from Epstein's phone shows a staff member coordinating the grooming of a young Russian woman referred to as "the kid." This is just 5 months before Epstein's July 2019 arrest.
"The kid couldn't have done bikini wax cause hair are too short; next time. Doing her and [redacted] tails. Kid will come to the house straight from Frederic with IPad portfolio. Done with pornhub introduction"
The next messages read:
"Kid is taking Placement test next week. I gave her all the information."
"Her social security is in Russia."
This document reveals active, systematic grooming: a young Russian woman is being prepared (bikini wax, "pornhub introduction," iPad portfolio) and brought directly to Epstein's house. The reference to her social security being "in Russia" indicates she was a foreign national, consistent with the documented Eastern European recruitment pipeline. The casual, bureaucratic tone of the messages shows this was routine for Epstein's staff.
The "pornhub introduction" likely refers to showing the victim pornographic material as part of the grooming/desensitization process documented in other victim testimony. The "iPad portfolio" suggests a visual presentation used to prepare victims.
Note: Internet compilations distorted this document, falsely claiming it shows "BABY HAIR" in all caps. The actual text says "hair are too short" for a bikini wax. The document is disturbing enough without fabrication.
Multiple primary sources confirm Victoria's Secret was systematically used as a recruitment lure for victims. Les Wexner, who owned VS parent company L Brands, granted Epstein power of attorney over his entire financial affairs.
Victim testimony (sworn statement):
'I was a model in another country when I came to the United States. I was told by a booker that I needed to meet with a man named Jeffrey Epstein, who was the owner of Victoria's Secret. The booker told me that Mr. Epstein could help me get into Victoria Secret's world. It was my childhood dream to be a Victoria's Secret model. So I went one day in the afternoon and I met Mr. Epstein in his office in his mansion in New York. A woman introduced herself and suggested to me that I should be extremely nice to Mr. Epstein.'
Civil complaint: 'Epstein offered her a position modeling with Victoria's Secret, a lingerie retailer. He explained that he was friends with Les Wexner, the chief executive of Victoria's Secret's parent company. Epstein reiterated his connection to Victoria's Secret each time he saw and spoke with Jane Doe.' — EFTA00023292
FBI/NYPD Child Exploitation Task Force requested Victoria's Secret records in Feb 2021, but the company had 'recently switched their systems and only can access records dating back approximately 2 years' — EFTA00021353.
Physical evidence: A citizen photo submitted to FBI shows Epstein with an apparently underage girl carrying a Victoria's Secret bag on June 7, 2019 — one month before arrest — EFTA00016800.
Wexner connection: Les Wexner was Epstein's 'sole client' at J. Epstein and Company. He granted Epstein power of attorney over his affairs. Epstein 'was again accused of misappropriating funds — more than 46 million dollars. These large sums are believed to be the seed money Mr. Epstein used to establish his considerable fortune.' — Multiple FBI profiling documents (EFTA00139235).
An FBI financial investigator from Squad C-40 (FAST) identified the Butterfly Trust as a key vehicle in Epstein's victim payment infrastructure:
'This entity seems to be a conduit for money paid to female victims.' — EFTA00037690
The email contained two attachments: Flow_of_Funds_Butterfly_Trust.pptx and Butterfly_Fund_FinCEN_List.xlsx — the FBI's internal forensic analysis of how victim payments were routed through the trust.
Related FBI documents (EFTA00037696) trace Butterfly Trust funds through multiple banks: '$175,000 (3/22/2019) sent to [Wells] Fargo from The 2013 Butterfly Trust ($250,000, 12/3/2018).' The FBI noted: 'The Deutsche Bank SARs show the BoA account' — connecting the Butterfly Trust to Bank of America as well.
The Butterfly Trust was created December 27, 2006, with Karyna Shuliak (from Minsk, Belarus) as sole beneficiary. Its use as a victim payment conduit — documented by the FBI itself — transforms it from a personal trust into evidence of a financial structure designed to facilitate trafficking.
Emails sent from Jes Staley's JPMorgan corporate email to Jeffrey Epstein create a permanent bank record of their exchange of young women:
June 16, 2010 (EFTA00029430, bates JPM-SDNY-00000928):
Staley: 'Is she free tonight?'
Epstein: 'call me'
Staley: 'I'm w A'
Epstein: 'ok'
July 10, 2010 (EFTA00029432, bates JPM-SDNY-00000951):
Staley: 'Say hi to Snow White.'
Epstein: 'what character would you like next'
Staley: 'Beauty and the Beast'
Staley: 'Maybe they're tracking u??'
December 31, 2010 (EFTA00029435): Staley to Epstein after his release from prison: 'It nice to have u free. Much to come. Please know that I am an friend forever. You are very special.'
These emails were sent through JPMorgan's corporate email system — meaning the bank's compliance and legal teams had access to evidence that their Head of Private Banking was exchanging what appear to be references to young women with a convicted sex offender. Epstein's response 'what character would you like next' implies he was offering Staley access to women identified by Disney character nicknames.
Paul V. Morris was Jeffrey Epstein's primary private banker, first at JP Morgan Private Bank and then at Deutsche Bank Private Wealth Management. In October 2012, Lesley Groff notified Epstein that Morris was secretly transitioning:
'Paul Morris called... he also said he told us he will be moving to Deutsche Bank, but that he is not to disclose this as of yet...' — EFTA00945587
Morris then brought Epstein as a client to Deutsche Bank in 2013 — onboarding a registered sex offender after his 2008 conviction. He was listed as PRIMARY OFFICER on Epstein's Deutsche Bank account #690519 (EFTA00166317) and Relationship Manager for Southern Financial LLC, the entity through which $50M+ flowed to Boothbay, $28.8M to Valar (Thiel), $64M to Honeycomb, and millions more.
Morris had regular meetings at Epstein's 9 East 71st Street townhouse, often bringing his Deutsche Bank team. On February 28, 2013, Morris arrived at the townhouse together with Ari Glass (Boothbay): 'Ari Glass and Paul Morris are here!' (EFTA00505096). On March 12, 2014, Morris had a 1pm appointment followed by Nathan Myhrvold (2:30), Leon Black (4pm), Jes Staley drinks (6pm), and Boris Nikolic (7pm).
At JP Morgan, Morris advised Epstein on structuring the purchase of 'The Scream' painting and proposed an 'LB art loan' (likely Leon Black).
The FBI engaged Morris in August 2020, and he retained counsel:
'we engaged Morris yesterday, and he retained counsel. We will likely be conducting a proffer of him in the near future.' The agent added: 'His attorney is already attempting to devalue his role, indicating he was just a low level relationship manager, amongst many. (Note, he appears to have done very well for himself as a low level relationship manager).' — EFTA00037187
The FBI was specifically investigating Deutsche Bank for 'moving money for the payment of women' — the bank 'did not believe the women to be under age (i.e., complete disregard for the trafficking aspect, or witness tampering).'
The SDNY prosecution memo (EFTA02731039) identifies Lesley Groff as the person who scheduled 'massages' with underage victims in New York: 'In New York, one of those individuals was Leslie Groff...would schedule appointments for the girls by phone.' A victim told Epstein 'she was 14 years old.'
Obstruction of Justice: Epstein called Groff from his private jet 'warning his personal assistant, Lesley Groff, against turning over documents and electronic evidence responsive to a subpoena issued by a federal grand jury' (EFTA00206732). The AUSA proposed filing charges in Miami to 'avoid the press.'
Named Co-Conspirator: The 2007 NPA explicitly grants immunity: 'the United States also agrees that it will not institute any criminal charges against potential co-conspirators of Epstein including but not limited to Lesley Groff' (EFTA00223149). SDNY noted this immunity did NOT apply to them.
Civil Defendant (2017): Recruiter 'reported to her superiors, Defendants Groff and Maxwell, and was paid for her recruitment of young females' (EFTA00313650). Groff and Maxwell confirmed promises about education and modeling to lure victims.
Groff was bequeathed $2M in Epstein's will plus loan forgiveness. She sponsored visa applications as late as November 2017 (EFTA00261337). SDNY listed her alongside Maxwell requiring 'special precautions' in the 2019 sex trafficking investigation.
On March 14, 2011, the FBI Legal Attaché in Sydney sent a formal request to the Australian Federal Police notifying them that two FBI Miami agents would fly to Australia to interview a victim residing in Glenning Valley, New South Wales (EFTA00005711).
The victim was Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who had been hiding in Australia from Epstein and Maxwell for several years. The CACU (Crimes Against Children Unit) authorized the travel (EFTA00005707). A Confidential Human Source from Jacksonville had located her and provided her email address and 8 photographs (EFTA00005705).
The FBI’s request letter states:
"…indicated EPSTEIN had instructed her to have sex with numerous associates in both the United States and overseas. [She] identified several subjects by name and indicated she had records to support her allegations."
The actual FBI FD-302 interview report (EFTA00210958, 12 pages) reveals:
The next day, agents traveled to her residence and collected 20 photographs, her massage certification, and her passport (EFTA00005714).
A telephone interview three weeks later (EFTA00020703) revealed:
In her 2015 sworn declaration (EFTA00020729), Giuffre stated: “The agents seemed like they were being blocked from doing what they wanted to do” and “someone else stepped in and blocked them from getting charges filed.” She believed prosecutors “possess videotapes and photographic images of me as an underage girl having sex with Epstein and some of his powerful friends.”
In the June 18, 2019 SDNY grand jury proceeding (Case 2018R01618), FBI Special Agent testimony revealed the industrial scale of Epstein’s recruitment operation (EFTA00008529).
A single recruiter — herself a minor victim — told investigators:
"She estimated approximately 20 to 50 girls."
When asked about the ages of the girls she brought to Epstein:
"She estimated around approximately 13, 14-year olds to 17-year olds. They were mostly underage girls that she brought. She did bring a couple that were 18."
A separate witness confirmed Epstein’s explicit age preference:
"Epstein told her, quote, ‘the younger the better.’ And that she also said, quote, ‘he likes the girls that are between the ages of 18 and 20.’"
The recruiter told victims they would receive 00 for massaging him. She worked with another girl her age in a recruitment partnership. The grand jury was shown the victim’s senior year school planner from October 2004, where she had written "Jeffrey" on multiple dates — she was 17 years old.
The seized phone message pads at the Palm Beach residence contained entries like "She has a female for Mr. JE" and "Has girl for tonight" — documenting routine scheduling of victims through a receptionist system.
The March 29, 2021 grand jury proceeding for Ghislaine Maxwell’s superseding indictment revealed one of the most calculated grooming operations in the case (EFTA00008744).
The victim was "13 going on 14" in the summer of 1994 when she attended the Interlochen Center for the Arts summer program in Michigan as an opera singer. Epstein had established himself as a donor to the school and had "donated a lodge to the camp in the summer of 1994" — the same summer he began grooming this victim.
"She said that she was sitting at a picnic table with friends when Epstein and Maxwell walked by. They stopped to talk to her, engaged her in conversation, asked her if she liked her classes; her teachers. During that conversation she found out that she was also from Palm Beach and that he said he gives scholarships to students."
After exchanging contact information, the grooming escalated. Maxwell gave the victim a "school-girl outfit" to wear, which Maxwell described as something she “thought would be adorable.” The victim received gifts including "Massage for Dummies" (a book later found in Epstein’s Palm Beach residence) and Victoria’s Secret lingerie. Before sending the lingerie, Maxwell asked the victim for her address and her bra size.
Epstein’s pilot David Rodgers confirmed picking the victim up and remembered her traveling on the private jet in the 1990s.
This case demonstrates premeditated institutional infiltration: Epstein donated 0,000+ to position himself at a children’s arts camp, then used his donor status and Maxwell as a lure to recruit a 13-year-old singer.
At Ghislaine Maxwell's criminal trial (EFTA00068582), Minor Victim-2 gave detailed testimony about her recruitment at Interlochen Arts Camp in the summer of 1994. She had just finished 7th grade (~13 years old). Her family was in crisis — her father had died in October 1993, they lost their house and were homeless, living in a pool house in a friend's backyard in Palm Beach.
Her oldest sister's family pooled money to send her and her brothers to Interlochen. She was sitting on a park bench or picnic bench with friends, eating ice cream, when Maxwell approached with a cute little Yorkie. The children asked to pet the dog. When her friends left for class, Epstein joined Maxwell:
"He was very interested to know what I thought about the camp, what my favorite classes were, what my least favorite classes, teachers... They said they were big benefactors of this camp; and that they went there every summer; and that they gave different kids scholarships."
She told them her father had just died. Epstein responded: "I think we know your mom. It's kind of a smaller town. We definitely know her." He placed a newspaper on the picnic table and asked for her mother's phone number. She gave the family landline.
Back in Palm Beach, Epstein sent a chauffeur to bring her to his mansion for "tea." She began visiting once every week or two, always alone. She observed four women and Maxwell, all topless, some naked at the pool. He gave her cash — "It's for your mother. I know she's having a hard time" — at almost every visit. He paid for voice lessons, clothes, "things for school." He name-dropped Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Mike Wallace and put people on speakerphone. He told her: "I know all the agents. I know all the photographers. I know the owner of Victoria's Secret. So I can make things happen, but you just have to be ready for it."
Maxwell took her shopping at Victoria's Secret, buying "white cotton briefs — like the very sort of basic-looking ones that you would wear when you're younger."
Maxwell told her: "Once you fuck them, you can always fuck them again because they're grandfathered in." The victim didn't understand the word "grandfathered."
After Epstein's "I can make things happen" speech, he took her hand: "Follow me." In the pool house: "He just pulled his pants down. He was wearing sweatpants. And he pulled me on top of himself and he proceeded to masturbate on me. I was frozen in fear. I'd never seen a penis before."
Shortly after, Epstein and Maxwell took the 14-year-old upstairs to the bedroom. "They moved me over to the bed and took their clothes off and started to like sort of, like, fondle each other" — "showing me, you know, what he likes, what men like, what women like, sort of touching on breasts and touching his penis." Maxwell's demeanor was "very casual, like it was very normal, like it was not a big deal." These sessions occurred "almost every visit" — every two weeks.
Pilot Larry Visoski confirmed "Epstein went to Interlochen almost every summer in the 1990s" and had his own cabin on campus. Recalled one female passenger who was a singer with "striking blue eyes" and "large breasts." Confirmed Itzhak Perlman flew on some Interlochen flights. FBI interview of victim's brother (EFTA00158608) confirmed Epstein was a "godfather figure" and Maxwell told the victim's minor brother she would "teach your brother a thing or two."
The victim received $5 million from the Epstein victim compensation fund ($2.9M after legal fees). She first spoke to FBI in May 2019.
EFTA documents reveal the full scope of Epstein's financial infiltration of Interlochen Center for the Arts — a children's summer arts camp and boarding school in Michigan.
Government Exhibit 741 (EFTA00090261) contains correspondence between Interlochen officials and Epstein/Maxwell documenting $420,000+ in donations (1993-1997):
Additionally, the Wexner Foundation donated $185,000 on July 25, 1994 — paying 92.5% of the lodge's $200K cost — just weeks before the first known recruitment in August 1994 (EFTA00097133). Epstein was entitled to use the lodge for two weeks per year.
FBI FD-302 of Interlochen's VP of Advancement (EFTA01249911) describes the lodge as "segregated away from the main campus" — a quarter to half mile down the road, near visitors' lodges, where "people would not see others coming and going." Maxwell was "the gatekeeper" for all Epstein interactions with Interlochen. When visiting, Maxwell told staff she was bringing Epstein and "their personal masseuse" to the summer camp.
Epstein's scholarship agreement required students to "communicate with the donor" and offered to "arrange a meeting on campus" — direct institutional access to minor students in exchange for donations. Epstein personally directed $5,000 to a specific named student, creating financial dependency.
Three SDNY subpoenas were issued between October 2020 and November 2021. The March 2021 grand jury subpoena (EFTA00019503), signed by Acting U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss, explicitly cites 18 U.S.C. §§ 2423(a) and 1591 — federal sex trafficking of minors statutes. At least two students (Government Exhibits 742 and 743) were prepared as evidence for the Maxwell trial. Interlochen's attorney Jeffrey Jocks initially resisted disclosure; tuition payment records had been destroyed after 7 years.
Interlochen eventually distanced itself from Epstein, renaming the lodge "Green Lake Lodge" and severing ties after the 2008 plea deal.
In the original Maxwell indictment grand jury (EFTA00008631, SDNY, June 29, 2020), an FBI special agent from the Violent Crimes Against Children squad testified about a 16-year-old victim (Indictment Victim 2) who was lured to Epstein's Zorro Ranch in New Mexico in the spring of 1996.
The victim lived in Arizona with her mother. Her older sister already worked for Epstein in New York and told her Epstein could "help her with college." In January 1996, she flew commercially to NYC and met Epstein at his townhouse. At the movies, Epstein sat between the victim and her sister, put his hand on her leg, rubbed her arm, and held her hand. She didn't tell her sister because "she knew her sister really liked Epstein and that Epstein could help them."
Epstein then invited her to Zorro Ranch, promising there would be "other students her age." When she arrived:
"It was just them... Was it just the three of them the entire weekend of the visit? Yes. Were there any other school kids there? No."
Maxwell described as "very charming" — gave her a tour, took her shopping, talked about school and homework. Then Maxwell instructed her to give Epstein a foot massage, demonstrating how. At the movies that weekend, Maxwell pulled Epstein's pants down a little bit in public, and Epstein openly touched the victim's leg in front of Maxwell.
Then Maxwell sexually assaulted the victim directly:
"Maxwell had asked [victim] if she ever had a massage, and Maxwell told her she could give her one. So [victim] was on her back and Maxwell had pulled the sheet down exposing her chest, she was nude from the top up, and proceeded to massage around her chest and breast area."
The victim "felt really uncomfortable." The next morning, Epstein entered her bedroom: "He wanted to cuddle. So he laid down next to her and spooned her." She told him she had to go to the bathroom to escape.
After the weekend, Epstein paid for her trip to Thailand. She is now a psychologist who works with trauma victims.
The same grand jury transcript (EFTA00008631) details how Maxwell recruited a 17-year-old English girl (Indictment Victim 3) in London around 1994-1995, grooming her through friendship before delivering her to Epstein for sexual abuse.
Maxwell met the victim through a mutual friend and treated her "like naughty school girls." Maxwell told the victim that Epstein "was going to like her." When Epstein flew to London, Maxwell called the victim to her residence:
"Maxwell was saying to Epstein — giving him a resume of her attributes. Saying she's so pretty, she's so strong, and then Maxwell asked her to give Epstein a massage... 'Since you're so strong I'd appreciate it if you give Jeffrey a massage because he needs a massage every day or I get in trouble.'"
In the room, Epstein took off his robe, and during the massage he touched the victim and pulled her hand to his penis. When she reacted, Epstein told her: "Don't be frigid." When she left the room, Maxwell was just outside: "Did you have fun? Did he like it?" Days later, Maxwell called: "Well, aren't you a clever girl, Jeffrey was very impressed."
Maxwell then asked her to return: "Thank God you're here; if it's not you or someone it falls to me." When Maxwell opened the bedroom door, Epstein was standing there nude. Maxwell said: "I'll leave you guys to it."
The victim traveled with them to Palm Beach, USVI, Paris, and New York over the next several years. The abuse included Epstein groping her and using a vibrator on her genitals. Maxwell was always nearby afterward: "How was it, is he happy?" and "You know how he is when he's not happy and you know what makes him happy, he has to have sex all the time, he's like a super hero."
At Palm Beach, after the victim turned 18, Maxwell laid out a school-girl outfit on the bed:
"Maxwell said 'well, I thought it would be adorable if you gave Jeffrey his tea in this.' So [victim] felt like she had to put it on so she put it on, took Epstein his tea, and Epstein then slapped her on the buttocks and reached under the skirt and touched her."
When the victim confronted Maxwell, she was told: "Don't be so frigid." Afterward: "I heard you did well."
Maxwell then tried to make the victim a recruiter:
"Do you know anyone who can give him a blow job today; I don't feel like it?"
And specified: "They have to look young at least." The victim refused — "she didn't want anyone else to go through that." She struggled with substance abuse, got sober in her 20s, and now runs a non-profit for people who struggle with addiction and trauma.
On March 7, 2024, Jeanne M. Christensen of Wigdor LLP (a major victims’ rights firm) wrote to SDNY prosecutors with explosive information (EFTA02731515):
"I strongly believe that there is at least one video circulating on some disgusting sex site with [victim] in it."
The victim "was videotaped at a hotel" during a sex trafficking incident involving 6 men, of whom she was forced to have sex with 3. Christensen states:
"I know the names of at least two of the men who she had to have sex with during this incident — there were 6 men there and she had to be with 3 of them. One of them is a former friend of Leon Black’s and both men likely knew JE."
The victim was later contacted "randomly" by someone while playing an online game who told her he had seen a video of "one girl having sex with 3 men in a row" and said it looked like her. Christensen has a screenshot from this interaction.
The letter also references contemporaneous journals from the victim with content about Epstein and Maxwell, and mentions this is "Year 19" of the victim’s case — suggesting abuse dating back to approximately 2005.
If this video exists and can be located, it would constitute direct evidence of sex trafficking and could identify additional perpetrators. The two named men — including a former friend of Leon Black — are potential targets for prosecution.
In March-April 2017, Jeffrey Epstein conducted a sustained grooming campaign targeting Bechet Allen, the adopted daughter of Woody Allen and Soon-Yi Previn, then approximately 18 years old. The iMessage thread (EFTA01616775) reveals the identical playbook Epstein used to recruit a 13-year-old at Interlochen in 1994.
Epstein initiated repeated Skype calls, sent links to Bard College exchange programs, offered career mentoring ("if you could have job drawing is that something you would enjoy... what would be your ideal job?"), asked for her artwork ("I'd appreciate a drawing of your choice"), helped with applications, and offered to pay ("I pay if you prefer").
On April 18, 2017, Epstein pushed Bechet toward the same arts camp where he recruited his first known victim 23 years earlier:
"please look at this I know this well... it is terrific. if you agree, i can try, it is really great fun"
The link was to Interlochen Center for the Arts — Advanced Drawing high school summer program. When Bechet declined because of a Kenya volunteer trip, Epstein pressured her:
"if we can get you into the camp. we could switch kenya for later... its an amazing place with great teachers and unique art classes... its also the last year you could go as you get to old next year."
He then invited her to visit him: "come see me thurs in new york, bring my drawing."
The same day, Epstein sent the identical Interlochen link directly to Soon-Yi Previn (EFTA02653174), indicating both parents knew about and facilitated the relationship.
Earlier evidence shows the family connection ran deep: in March 2013, Lesley Groff confirmed "Totally fine for Bechet to bring her friend... we DO need a copy of her passport details as soon as possible for the passenger list" (EFTA00393338) — Bechet was flying on Epstein's private jet at approximately age 14.
Epstein also brokered Bechet's college placement: "Leon Botstein called me to tell you if there is anything you want or need for Bechet at Bard, he is on call" (EFTA01209934) — the president of Bard College acting as Epstein's intermediary.
Nadia Marcinkova was named as a co-conspirator in Epstein's 2007 non-prosecution agreement and described in court filings as his “live-in sex slave.”
EFTA00235326 — The NPA states: “the United States also agrees that it will not institute any criminal charges against any potential co-conspirators of Epstein, including but not limited to Sarah Kellen, Lesley Groff, or Marcinkova.”
EFTA00191148 — Prosecutor confirms immigration charges were also dropped: “there is no plan to try to proceed on any immigration charges against either Ms. Ross or Ms. Marcinkova.”
EFTA00081180 — Court filing states: “Epstein also made E.W. perform oral sex on him and was to perform sex acts on Nadia Marcinkova (Epstein’s live-in sex slave) in Epstein’s presence.” The same document lists SM & slave-training books ordered by Epstein from Amazon, including “SlaveCraft: Roadmaps for Erotic Servitude” and “Training with Miss Abernathy: A Workbook for Erotic Slaves and Their Owners.”
EFTA00962525 — In a remarkable June 2013 email, Marcinkova describes Epstein’s systematic pattern of controlling women:
“Promising your girls apartments, shopping sprees, cars, money and security forever is second nature for you. Dangling those carrots as long as possible and then playing into the girls’ insecurity by making them feel stupid for ‘misunderstanding’ the terms of those promises is cute.”
She also writes: “You focus on my lifestyle when I met you, at 18… I was a teenager in love. You were 51.”
Epstein’s reply is cruel and controlling: “when I first met you, you had not even a high school education…you only owned a couple of worn out dresses and a tooth brush, eating popcorn for your main meal…your closets now are full, coats bags, shoes, toys.”
EFTA01897098 — Epstein berates Marcinkova: “you once again expect, expect expect…expect to have an apt…expect that your press should be no worse than sarah or lesley. I will help you move on…you could only fly on the condition of no more emotional outburst, not wanting to fly karyna…lets part as we should have years ago.” She replies: “fine. $5mil”
EFTA00966905 — Richard Kahn confirms: “$10K to Aviloop” — Epstein funding Marcinkova’s company directly.
EFTA02456758 — “can you wire nadia 14k today” — ongoing financial support.
EFTA00677154 — Marcinkova to Epstein: “Im launching Aviloop tomorrow.. What does this mean?” — referring to legal investigations threatening the business.
Marcinkova later changed her name to Emma Marcinko (EFTA00770952, Oct 2009).
An undated letter from Epstein to "Les" (Leslie Wexner) reveals Epstein invoking their shared secrets after Wexner cut ties:
"You and I had 'gang stuff' for over 15 years. A great deal of it, that she was unaware of. I had no intention of divulging any confidence of ours, no matter what accusations she made."
The letter references a woman who "tried to extort Ehud Barak, Alan Dershowitz and Prince Andrew" — clearly Virginia Giuffre — and states Epstein would "never under any circumstances give it up, or put you in harm's way." The tone is simultaneously loyal and threatening, reminding Wexner of shared confidences while positioning himself as a protector.
Four near-identical draft notes from July 2015 (EFTA00645002, EFTA00653278, EFTA00716143, EFTA00631928) appear to be preparation notes for a confrontation with Wexner. They contain the phrase:
"34 girls wexner"
This number — 34 — matches exactly the number of confirmed minor victims documented in the 2007 Non-Prosecution Agreement. The notes also contain what appear to be leverage points: "suicide, randy, jack kessler, stanley, bankrupt, sales tax, ohio, cigars, trusts charity" — a catalog of Wexner's vulnerabilities.
Other names in the notes include Leon (Black), Darren (Indyke), Martin (Nowak), Joi (Ito), Summers, Dershowitz ("dershoqit"), Jean-Luc (Brunel), Jarecki, Glenn (Dubin), Chomsky, and Guy Lewis. A reference to "morroco, 40 m. leon plane" suggests Morocco trips on Leon Black's aircraft. The notes were iteratively edited over July 24-31, 2015, with Epstein refining his confrontation strategy.
A June 8, 2021 FBI preparation memo for witness Juan Alessi — Epstein's live-in house manager at 358 El Brillo Way, Palm Beach from approximately 1990 to December 2002 — documents the systematic trafficking operation at the Palm Beach residence and a direct admission from Epstein himself (EFTA00157613).
When Alessi quit in December 2002, he warned Epstein directly: "one of those girls is going to get you in trouble." Epstein's reply: "they only want money."
The memo documents a first victim — approximately 14–15 years old, a high schooler — whom Alessi personally picked up from her school and home beginning in the late 1990s. She visited the Palm Beach residence approximately twice per week, went to movies with Epstein and Maxwell, and brought a suitcase on visits.
By the end of Alessi's employment, Epstein was receiving three massages daily — morning, afternoon, and evening — with a different girl for each appointment. Alessi maintained a rolodex of masseuses. Massage oils were shipped from England, Paris, and Tahiti. A second victim brought from a local spa also introduced two additional young girls to the residence and was observed boarding Epstein's plane.
Ghislaine Maxwell arrived approximately six months after Alessi was hired and immediately assumed control of the household. All instructions were routed through her, not Epstein directly. She declared herself "lady of the house" and imposed increasingly restrictive rules — including "don't look him in his eyes" and "don't engage in conversations" with Epstein. Sex toys were found in both Maxwell's bathroom and Epstein's bathroom.
Both Alessi and his wife Maria — who also worked at the residence — were required to sign a non-disclosure agreement on January 2, 2003: $30,000 to Juan, $20,000 to Maria, plus COBRA health insurance through December 2003, in exchange for a full release of all claims against Epstein, Maxwell, and their entities.
Alessi's testimony identifies frequent visitors to the Palm Beach residence including Donald Trump, Senator George Mitchell, JFK Jr., Alan Dershowitz, Les Wexner, Prince Andrew and his wife, and Nobel Prize laureates.
An FBI internal case briefing document (EFTA00164939) provides a comprehensive overview of all four Epstein investigations:
Key statistics from the SDNY investigation:
Financial section: "Between 2007 and 2011 over $21,000,000 was transferred from Epstein's accounts to Maxwell's accounts, and then promptly moved to other accounts associated with Epstein."
The original 2007 plea deal: a 60-count indictment was drafted against Epstein in May 2007, but prosecutors met with Epstein's attorneys and offered 2 state charges, 18 months, sex offender registration, and an NPA covering Epstein, 4 named co-conspirators, and any potential co-conspirators. Epstein served less than 13 months and was "allowed out of prison 12 hours a day to work at his foundation."
The FBI internal case briefing (EFTA00164939) contains two separate victim statements about Leon Black:
Victim 1: "Epstein told her to give Black a massage while Black was naked." A second female "gave Black a massage and he made her perform oral sex. Epstein made jokes about Black's penis size."
Victim 2: "Black raped her numerous times and sex trafficked her (including at Epstein's). Black threatened to destroy her life" and stated he had "connections with the police."
These statements appear in the FBI's "PROMINENT NAMES" section — an internal summary of victim allegations against individuals of public interest. Two independent victims, reporting separately, both describe violent sexual abuse by Black at Epstein's direction.
The FBI case briefing (EFTA00164939) records victim statements against three additional prominent individuals:
Jes Staley (JP Morgan CEO): A victim stated "Epstein told her to give Staley a massage at Epstein's mansion. Staley forced her hands on his crotch and had 'rough sex' with her."
Glenn Dubin (Highbridge Capital): A victim stated "Maxwell instructed her to give Dubin a massage and do what she did for Epstein."
Harvey Weinstein: Three separate victim accounts — (1) she "gave Weinstein a massage, during which he fondled her, masturbated and offered to pay her extra if he could ejaculate on her chest"; (2) "Weinstein came to her apartment, offered her a job and then tried to follow her into the shower"; (3) "Epstein told her to give Weinstein a massage, during which Weinstein tells her to take off her shirt, she refuses and then Weinstein threatens to get women to come force her too."
A June 2023 FBI/DANY memo (EFTA02731737) documents a victim who came forward in 2023 with a previously unknown trafficking pipeline:
A woman identified as Mary (Mary Small) introduced the victim to Ghislaine Maxwell when she was 17 years old. Mary described it as "an apprentice program." She met Maxwell and Epstein, who "watched movies together" and told her to "sit in his lap." They flew her to Palm Beach, St. Thomas, and New York.
The Leon Black incident: A man named Eddie (Eddie Small) "drove her from [Virginia] to NY to JE's townhouse." Epstein "introduced her to Black by name as 'Leon' and told her she would give him a massage." What followed: "Black was very violent, tore her clothes off, bit her vagina, forced sex toys into her." The victim "needed medical attention, bleeding." Black "left money on the table before he left the room." She described him as "looking like Shrek."
DANY prosecutors stated: "They believe she was also abused by Staley."
Mary Small's abuse: Mary "would treat her badly if JE reported to Mary that she wasn't good." She "dragged her up flight of stairs by her hair" and "would be physical including by slapping her." Maxwell and Mary "were controlling [her] body, JE liked the girls to look a certain way." Mary received "expensive luxury gifts" and "new outfits or food after the trips."
A pilot named Larry (Larry Visoski) flew them to St. Thomas. At one point, "she came in through customs and the customs officer asked if she was ok."
An FBI FD-302 interview (EFTA01309589) documents the August 19, 2020 interview of Anthony Figueroa by Detective Paul Byrne and SA Amanda Young:
Figueroa's girlfriend worked for Epstein as a "masseuse" who traveled with him for two weeks at a time. She eventually asked Figueroa "if he knew any other girls that wanted to make money giving EPSTEIN massages." His motivation: "FIGUEROA wanted to see his girlfriend more so he helped."
The recruitment: Figueroa attended several South Florida high schools including Piper High School, Royal Palm, Wellington, and Survivors Charter School. He recruited girls from these schools. "EPSTEIN would pay FIGUEROA $200 in cash for each girl." He would "drive the girls he knew to EPSTEIN's and he would get paid when he brought them." Epstein told Figueroa: "make sure the girls are 18 years old" and "make sure they are not fat."
Figueroa told recruits "there was a guy that wanted to get massages" and "sometimes the guy (EPSTEIN) would ask the girls to do more than massage and sometimes girls would get paid more to do so, but you did not have to do more."
The Maxwell connection: Figueroa's girlfriend told him "she and MAXWELL would go out and get girls together for EPSTEIN." She was "approached by MAXWELL at Mar-A-Lago" and they "were sexually active with each other." Maxwell previously had Figueroa "pick up a specific girl and bring them to EPSTEIN's residence."
Device extraction from Epstein's phone (EFTA01209254) reveals Daniel Siad actively procuring women for Epstein through Skype and iMessage between 2017 and 2019:
June 26, 2017 — Siad to Epstein via Skype: "I am here in Barcelona I have girls staying with me from Australia Croecian origin, so you can speak with her very Sweet." And: "Also her dream is New-York of cause." Epstein responded: "Photo?"
Siad forwarded a woman's passport photo to Epstein; she wrote in French: "voici mon passeport! c'est top secret!! ;-)" (EFTA01132792).
Epstein specified preferences: "just dark hair" (EFTA01621978). In February 2019, Siad arranged a Thai actress in NYC — Epstein: "i invited your friend pookluck to my house. she wants to meet in a restaurant. i dont do that in new york." (EFTA01612695).
Attorney Stan Pottinger described Siad as "a scout or recruiter of girls and/or women for J. Epstein" (EFTA00066441).
FBI documents reveal that Virginia Giuffre was trafficked by Ronald Eppinger beginning around 1997-1998, when she was approximately 13-15 years old — before she entered Epstein's orbit at Mar-a-Lago.
Eppinger ran a Miami-based sex trafficking operation disguised as the "Perfect 10" modeling agency (1997-1999), smuggling Czech women with promises of modeling work. An FBI case briefing contains handwritten notes: "B/W 13 + 16, picked up in 1998 by Ron Eppinger. 1/1/99, police (FBI) entered home, found her, arrested her, he went to jail" (EFTA00019071). The redacted individual is identified as Giuffre through unique biographical details: "dad worked @ Maralago," "dad dropped her off @ Epstein's house," "filed Civ't lawsuit in 2015 — defamation suit against Maxwell."
Eppinger was charged with 21 state felonies including 10 counts of sexual battery by person in familial/custodial authority (FL 794.011(8)) — meaning he sexually assaulted children in his own household — plus 4 counts of child abuse and 6 counts of lewd assault on a child. All were dropped when federal charges took precedence. He pled guilty to alien smuggling for prostitution and money laundering and received just 21 months.
Both Epstein and Maxwell had direct knowledge of Giuffre's Eppinger history and actively weaponized it to discredit her:
Eppinger died November 8, 2006 at a Fort Lauderdale hospital at age 70 — four months after Epstein's July 2006 arrest. The FBI was actively building the federal case, and Eppinger had 21 outstanding felony failure-to-appear charges giving the government leverage to compel his cooperation. His death meant Epstein could characterize Giuffre's history however he wished — as he wrote: "hes dead."
The Eppinger-to-Epstein pathway — both operations used "modeling" as cover for trafficking — represents one of the clearest documented cases of serial victimization in the Epstein files.
On Day 2 of her July 2025 proffer (DOJ-OGR-00022995), Maxwell made extraordinary admissions under use immunity that directly contradict her trial defense of total ignorance:
Maxwell also engaged in victim-blaming, claiming underage victims "could have been charged with prostitution and trafficking." She told DAG Blanche that "some in your cabinet" (Trump cabinet members) were part of Epstein's world.
These admissions, protected by use immunity, demolish the defense narrative that Maxwell was an innocent "general manager" unaware of Epstein's criminal conduct. She saw the abuse mechanism firsthand, recruited the women involved, and knew at least one was underage.
Francisco D'Agostino, a Venezuelan businessman, visited Epstein's Little St. James Island in October 2012 with Todd Meister and immediately began referring to a young woman there as the "water gazelle" — "I had so much fun in Little St Jeffery...and the water gazelle is really stunning...what a beautiful and smart girl!" (EFTA00628544).
In January 2013, D'Agostino asked Epstein "how is my water gaselle???" — Epstein replied "here and naked" — D'Agostino responded "Love it!!!!" (EFTA00953438). He later identified her by the name "Jane": "Say hi to Jane...the water gazelle. I miss seeing her swim" (EFTA01989630).
Most disturbingly, on Christmas Day 2013 (EFTA00678323), D'Agostino asked "How is the gazelle?" — Epstein replied "two new ones added to the collection" — D'Agostino responded "O0000000Hhhh. Nice!!! When are inviting me to the island?" The language of "collection" treats women as objects to be acquired and displayed, and D'Agostino's enthusiastic response demonstrates full awareness of what Epstein was doing on his island.
D'Agostino also coordinated Caracas airport logistics when Epstein was concerned about a "heavy drug search on landing" due to a previous incident with a similarly-named plane (EFTA00701318). D'Agostino replied: "I can talk with the people down at the airport."
On September 12, 2013, French conductor Frédéric Chaslin emailed Epstein (EFTA00970629):
"I found a great girl for your next stay in Paris
Student in philosophy
21
Looks a little like roman Polanski's current wife (Seigner)"
Epstein replied simply: "Great sept 27" (EFTA00970630). Chaslin then asked: "For how long? Should she contact you or one of your assistant may be contact her?" (EFTA00970635) and followed up with: "I forgot. Of course perfectly fluent French English Spanish. Her name: Frederica Amelia Finkelstein" (EFTA00970636).
The comparison to Roman Polanski's wife — Polanski being a convicted child rapist — while describing a young woman to another sex offender is particularly disturbing. Chaslin presented her like a product: age, appearance, languages, education.
Epstein instructed Lesley Groff to contact her: "her name is frederika, friend of paula and fred chaslin, in paris, contact her and set up a skype date" (EFTA00383769). Groff emailed her: "Jeffrey Epstein, friends with Paula and Fred Chaslin in Paris, would like to set up a time to Skype with you" (EFTA00383773). Finkelstein declined after searching Epstein's name: "I got another job offer just a few days ago. So unfortunately, I won't have enough time" (EFTA00383531).
'Lola Mignon' (pseudonym — real identity redacted) was a Paris-based law student who maintained a personal relationship with Epstein from August 2012 through at least November 2013. In April 2013, she asked Epstein about US universities (NYU, Georgetown, UPenn). Epstein replied: "yes definitley, especially if you find me interesting girls there" (EFTA01759826) — explicitly conditioning his advice on her recruiting young women at American universities.
The exchange reveals a grooming-to-recruitment pipeline: Epstein cultivated relationships with young women, offered mentorship and financial support, then converted them into recruiters. 'Lola Mignon' was herself a victim of his controlling behavior — Epstein wrote: "you have lost your way, you act like a child, write like a adolescent, and respond like a spoiled adult, i am losing my patience" (EFTA01981669). She responded: "I was advised not to see you. I don't feel I can trust you." But she ultimately apologized and asked for forgiveness.
She addressed Epstein as "My Mephistopheles" — acknowledging the Faustian nature of their relationship. Epstein refused to give her his Paris apartment door code (EFTA01969878) while still scheduling her for private evening visits. The dynamic — a young woman given a false identity, subjected to emotional manipulation, told to find girls — mirrors the recruitment patterns described by trafficking victims.
Lyndon Lea, founder of UK private equity firm Lion Capital LLP, arranged a paid internship at Findus Group for a woman at Epstein's direction. In May 2010, Lea emailed Epstein: "Organized a job for her at Findus. 1 year paid internship in the marketing department based in London. She'll need to do a couple of interviews to feel like she's earned it but it's already sorted unless she does something bizarre."
Epstein's reply drew a chilling distinction between women: "tell geir, she is serious, not a toy. toys are also available" (EFTA02415943). The reference to 'geir' is Geir Frantzen, who introduced Lea to Epstein. This language explicitly categorizes women into two groups — 'serious' ones who get career opportunities, and "toys" who are sexually available. This is the language of trafficking: commodifying women and treating sexual access as something to be offered alongside business deals.
Lea was also involved in deal-making through Epstein's network — "Lyndon Lea is pushing for us to get involved... the deal on the table is the transaction to buy a stake in Findus Group" (EFTA00744809). Epstein asked: "Should Lyndon Lea bring the CEO of Findus Group tomorrow?" (EFTA01822512) — mixing business deals with the same company where the woman was placed.
FBI FD-302 (Oct 2, 2023): AG Denise George engaged Motley Rice law firm with forensic accountants to investigate Epstein's financial network through the CICO (Criminally Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) Act. The investigation discovered "several companies and LLCs with relationships to Epstein's Southern Trust Company."
Critically, the investigation found that Richard Kahn and Darren Indyke — Epstein's co-executors — were "participants in the human trafficking operation."
Specifically, Indyke was in charge of coordinating female to female marriages to gain immigration status in the United States. The victims "would be threatened if they attempted divorce" and were "housed on Epstein properties and moved from Palm Beach, Florida, New York and Little St. James Island."
A second amended complaint added Indyke and Kahn as co-conspirators. The estate settled for $105M in civil court.
A victim's court filing explicitly names the Czech Republic as a source country for Epstein's trafficking operation (EFTA00210921):
"Upon information and belief, Defendant transported minor girls from Turkey, the Czech Republic, Asia, and numerous other countries, many of whom spoke no English."
This allegation is corroborated by the extensive email evidence showing Epstein's associates actively scouting and procuring Czech women:
The same filing appears in duplicate as EFTA01107189.
Paolo Zampolli, Italian founder of ID Models, is named in multiple FBI victim interviews as part of the modeling recruitment pipeline:
JPMorgan Chase maintained its banking relationship with Jeffrey Epstein from ~1998 to 2013, during which time it processed over $1 billion in suspicious wire transactions and $800,000+/year in cash withdrawals. Despite internal compliance officers flagging the account as high-risk and calling for termination as early as 2010, JPMorgan filed zero Suspicious Activity Reports during the entire relationship.
The bank's SAR covering $1,081,819,653 was filed retroactively only after Epstein's death in August 2019. Per the USVI v. JPMorgan complaint (EFTA00145666, ¶90-91): 'it was only after Epstein's death that JP Morgan belatedly complied with federal banking regulations.'
This 16-year failure to file SARs violated the Bank Secrecy Act and enabled Epstein's trafficking operation by keeping his financial infrastructure invisible to law enforcement. During this period:
JPMorgan ultimately settled for $365 million ($290M to victims + $75M to USVI) — one of the largest banking settlements in history. The USVI complaint states JPMorgan's failures were 'even more egregious than Deutsche Bank's' (¶82).
Email chains from May-June 2013 show Cecile de Jongh coordinating the enrollment of Epstein's associates at the University of the Virgin Islands to provide student visa cover for their presence in the territory.
Cecile contacted UVI's VP for Institutional Advancement about TOEFL prep and ESL classes for two women, "Julia and Renata." When told I-20 visa forms were only for degree students, Cecile asked: "Perhaps they can enroll and take at least 12 credits towards a degree?"
In a follow-up email, Cecile wrote to Epstein: "Did the ladies enroll? It is not too late for the fall semester? As we discussed, they need to go down and enroll and show the ability to pay. I can draft a letter for them to present. Think about whether you should sign it or one of us." UVI reportedly "structured the class around the ladies" at Cecile's request.
By February 2015, Cecile was sending Epstein the UVI application for undergraduate admission with International Students requirements including the I-20 visa form.
Court filings by JPMorgan Chase (recorded in FBI Electronic Communications from a May 2023 Virgin Islands Daily News article) accused former First Lady Cecile de Jongh of "facilitating Jeffrey Epstein's abuse of women and girls by helping him influence local politicians" while her husband served as USVI Governor (2007-2015).
JPMorgan's filing described Cecile as "Epstein's primary conduit for spreading money and influence throughout the USVI government" who "worked as Epstein's local fixer for two decades." Specific allegations include:
JPMorgan argued that the USVI government profited from Epstein twice: once directly, and again through its civil suit.
USVI complaint: Dec 5, 2009 Epstein attached picture of a young woman: "you were with Larry, I had to put up with..." Dec 20: blank email with young woman's photo. Jan 8, 2009: Epstein wired $2,000 to Eastern European woman around Staley's Palm Beach visit. Aug 31, 2009: wired $3,000 to same woman when Staley visiting London said he'd "need" something.
US Customs TECS II: Staley family (James, Debrora, Sophia, Alexa) flew on Epstein's Boeing 727 (N908JE) from St. Thomas to Palm Beach, Feb 21-22, 2005. Epstein passenger #1 with TECS lookout flag. Official government record.
An October 2012 email to Epstein (EFTA00945196) from a female associate describes their relationship using explicit Nabokov/Lolita framing:
"you taught me life in a certain way, explained how you see the world, taught me how to love my body and be open about sex"
She describes presenting Epstein with a French girl ("M") "just because you wanted to and it was fun for me to see their reactions and your interactions." She then describes Epstein formalizing the arrangement:
"you told me to draft this contract where I give you smth in exchange of smth....and it started, you were always talking like "I'll do it, if you present me girls" ... Present me girls....come with your friends"
She characterizes the dynamic:
"you are bored with our Nabokov-Lolita relations and just need people in order to have more people, to enlarge your Girls army"
In a July 2014 follow-up (EFTA01915715), the same sender writes: "now it is a period when I think the most about our Nabokov-Lolita experience and about everything I went through with you" — then offers to introduce a friend: "M, the kindest, nicest, very gorgeous friend of mine is looking forward to meeting you...she is a good girl, very smart and from a very good family..but is curious and happy to learn new things too."
Epstein responded to the Oct 2012 email by accusing the sender of being "cheap" and "vulgar" — a control tactic documented in victim testimony — and threatened to cut contact.
A May 2017 email to Epstein (EFTA01045355) from an associate describes meeting a woman and using Nabokov's most famous character as a physical type:
"I met [name] today. She is like Lolita from Nabokov, femme miniature :) So now I should send you her type of candidates only?"
The sender adds: "Tomorrow we travel to Bern for visas." Epstein replied simply: "Ok"
The email footer contains a legal disclaimer referencing "JEE" (Jeffrey E. Epstein) and attorney-client privilege. This is active recruitment 18 months before Epstein's July 2019 arrest — a recruiter openly invoking the most famous literary depiction of child sexual abuse as a descriptor for the type of woman Epstein preferred, while arranging visa travel.
Combined with Epstein keeping Lolita on his bedside table (EFTA00708489, New York Magazine fact-check), purchasing Nabokov literary criticism on Kindle (EFTA02445183), and recommending "Lolita" to associates (EFTA01039805), this shows Nabokov's novel served as a shared reference point within the recruitment network.
In March 2018, Drokova introduced Svetlana "Lana" Pozhidaeva to Epstein (EFTA00846558). Drokova emailed Epstein effusively:
"I loved Lana. She started opening up today probably for the first time and she has so much kindness and love... thank you for this beautiful connection! She is special. Everything coming from you is a magic."
Epstein's response was to instruct staff:
"take her to teeth cleaning place. and bright smile and then buy her bright red sweater. or charcoal grey"
This is the same appearance-control grooming pattern — dental work, clothing purchases, controlling appearance — documented extensively with trafficking victims. Pozhidaeva separately emailed Epstein directly forwarding photos of an "outstanding model" (EFTA02005826).
Drokova and Pozhidaeva co-founded WE Talks, a "Women Empowerment" organization whose first speaker was Kathryn Ruemmler — Obama's White House Counsel who was simultaneously serving as Epstein's trust trustee (EFTA00810724). Pozhidaeva also curated events at the Maiyet Store in SoHo (EFTA02445716).
A systematic search for Disney princess names across all 867,000 documents reveals that Epstein and his associates used Disney princess names as code names for women/girls. The key exchange between Jes Staley and Epstein (July 9-10, 2010, EFTA00029432) makes this explicit:
"Tinkerbell": The victim diary confirms Jes Staley called the victim "tinkerbell" — connecting to his "Snow White" usage and establishing that these code names referred to real victims.
The Epstein-Teodorani iMessage archive (June–August 2018) reveals a deeply transactional dynamic centered on women:
June 22, 2018 (Paris): Teodorani asks Epstein if he can visit. Epstein replies: “K. Alone or with something cute?”
Teodorani: “Very cute blue eyes”
The dehumanization — “something cute” rather than “someone” — mirrors the language pattern found throughout the network, treating women as objects to be procured and delivered.
June 23, 2018: Teodorani texts Epstein at his Paris apartment (22 Avenue Foch), calling him “master” twice: “Shall I come around 10 if is ok for you master” and “Master is better tomorrow morning because Davina she is not well”
In the same message, Teodorani offers to introduce a woman: “check this girl that I want to introduce you you Pilar Fogliati”
August 5, 2018 (Gstaad): After discussing Steve Bannon’s European plans, Teodorani writes: “I am in Gstaad then Tuscany which I hope you can once interesting pussy than Fl[orence] in Milano interesting pussy as well”
Epstein: “Nice”
The same thread also mentions “with ex First Lady shall pass at yours around 10” and “Shall we invite Carla without husband” — arranging for women, including an unidentified former first lady and a “Carla,” to visit Epstein’s Paris apartment.
FBI documents reveal that the Peter Nygard and Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking investigations were explicitly linked by the Southern District of New York. The DOJ sent a joint Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT) request to the UK seeking to interview Prince Andrew about both cases.
MLAT Request (April 2020): EFTA00037454 — Internal FBI email: "FYI — our Office is sending the attached MLAT to Prince Andrew related to the Epstein and Nygard investigations."
EFTA00022062 — The full MLAT document from DOJ Criminal Division to the UK Central Authority requests a voluntary interview of Prince Andrew relating to "two ongoing criminal investigations." If Prince Andrew declined voluntary participation, the US requested UK assistance in compelling it.
EFTA00148374 — FBI evidence inventory shows "boxes of evidence from Nygard" stored alongside Epstein evidence at SDNY, confirming the parallel investigations were handled by the same team.
Peter Nygard, a Finnish-Canadian fashion mogul, was convicted in Toronto in 2024 of four counts of sexual assault. The FBI linking of both trafficking investigations through Prince Andrew suggests overlapping victim networks or shared methods of operation.
Polina Belomlinskaya (433 documents) was a Russian-born immigration paralegal from Saint Petersburg who had a dual role in Epstein’s orbit: professional legal assistant and woman offered to Epstein’s associates.
EFTA00873949 (June 17, 2013): Epstein emails Tisch: “polina emily katya, I will be in ny 24-27” — three women listed by first name as available inventory.
Over three weeks, Epstein repeatedly checked on Tisch’s progress: EFTA00960611: “anything happen with polina?”
EFTA00391916 (April 22, 2013): “10:00 Polina · 11:30 David Mitchell · 12:30 lunch with Jean Luc · 1:30 Todd Meister · 2:00 Ehud Barak · 4:00 Boris” — Polina’s appointment was the first of the day, on the same schedule as convicted sex trafficker Jean-Luc Brunel and former Israeli PM Ehud Barak.
EFTA00429257 (August 2011): Epstein instructs staff: “Give her $300 for med.” Polina had recurring appointments with “Dr. Victor,” funded by Epstein — creating financial dependence.
EFTA00313308: Resume shows immigration paralegal at Greenberg Traurig (Jan–Apr 2013), previously at Limbus Press in Saint Petersburg (2008–2011). Worked with Epstein’s lawyer Darren Indyke on immigration documents and “second passport letter” (EFTA00367795).
An FBI FD-302 interview dated February 28, 2020 (EFTA00086868) records a victim/witness stating about Jean-Luc Brunel:
"She heard he mistreated women on a regular basis. She heard from more than one person that he slipped 'roofies' in a girl's drink in Miami."
The same witness was directed by Epstein to work at Next Model Management and then at Bear Stearns (through "the son of a friend of his"). This links the modeling pipeline directly to Brunel's drugging of victims.
Jonathan Farkas, Broadway producer and brother of Andrew Farkas (Epstein will executor), was part of a documented women-exchange pattern with Epstein.
In June 2013, Zlata Rybatova — a young Russian woman — emailed Epstein (EFTA00657593):
"how have you been after our naked wet pool fun talk :)"
"I was thinking I would love to take her to that swinger party you told us about... as surprise :)"
"L000ng time I was thinking what friend you will like from me that I will introduce you to... as exchange for REAL LOVE"
Epstein responded: "I have given your contacts to jonathan farkas he is kind"
A month later, Zlata complained Jonathan never followed up (EFTA00706768): "Your fiend Jonathan Farkas still didnt write me :( Can you please remind him of me?"
The exchange went both directions. In March 2017, Jonathan emailed Epstein (EFTA00690497): "Jeffrey I think that woman you introduced me to ages ago likes me what do you think?"
Jonathan also used Epstein as a matchmaker for other women: asking about an NYU professor — "she is perfect for me but I don't know her she has a phd" (EFTA00862738), and about a woman named "Heidi" — "Jeffrey please help me here is she a hooker" (EFTA00697420).
In November 2016, Jonathan Farkas emailed Epstein recommending a young woman he met at a Peggy Siegel event (EFTA01061418):
"Jeffrey I just was sat next to your future wife by Peggy Siegel I did not ask for her number but Peggy has it she is a tv star English blind blue eyed 28 Emma grunell go out with her immediately she is the most beautiful girl on the planet and if she were 48 you would not be getting this jonathan farkas"
The phrase "if she were 48 you would not be getting this" explicitly acknowledges that Epstein's interest in women was conditioned on their youth — and that Jonathan knew this. He was not simply introducing a friend; he was curating a recommendation tailored to Epstein's known age preferences.
This aligns with the broader pattern of Epstein associates actively scouting and recommending young women, including Annabelle Neilson ("putting a little group of girls together... one of them will have all the right qualities you desire") and Ghislaine Maxwell's systematic recruitment.
Faith Kates, founder of Next Model Management, maintained a 4,644-document relationship with Epstein. The most significant document (EFTA01740839) is a November 2011 email where Epstein instructs Lesley Groff: 'Also send invite to sultan and get names of girls from faith table' — directing his assistant to obtain names of women from Kates's model agency roster for a gala involving Ian Osborne and Jacob Rothschild.
Epstein also requested information on specific individuals from Kates. When she asked 'Are you looking for me?' he replied: 'no- info on eugenia sizanyuk' (EFTA00778846) — requesting details on a specific woman from the modeling world.
Despite Epstein's conviction, Kates remained deeply loyal. In March 2011, she wrote: 'same shit just another day...stay strong it will all come to pass... Xoxo' (EFTA00682282). Epstein replied: 'thanks, the heat is still high.'
The relationship extended to personal life — Kates asked Epstein to mentor someone named Dylan about 'how impt school is math and science and how for college u have to do something different' (EFTA00705686). She also helped Epstein hire household staff (EFTA00324267).
Beyond the victim discreditation film, Hollywood producer Barry Josephson operated as a referral pipeline for women to Epstein. Staff identified a woman by her connection to Josephson (EFTA01989467):
"Katherine Khuat is Barry Josephson's girl"
Two women were referred by Josephson within two weeks. Epstein responded: "what does she look like" (EFTA00504780). Staff evaluated one as: "She looks the part" (EFTA02342098).
In a separate exchange, Josephson coordinated a set visit for "'film students' ;)" — the winky-face indicating these were not actual students — while Julia Santos (known recruiter) was CC'd on the arrangement (EFTA02328819, EFTA00448706).
At Zorro Ranch, staff wrote: "you and the girls" in messages about Josephson's visit (EFTA02491324, EFTA02351034).
In a thread discussing Virginia Roberts and Janice Dickinson, Josephson was on the email chain (EFTA02498182). A year later, Epstein referred to accusers as "whores for headlines" in correspondence involving Josephson (EFTA00666366). His brother Dr. Jordan Josephson served as Epstein's personal physician (EFTA01292412), and his wife Jacqueline Josephson emailed Ghislaine Maxwell directly (EFTA00580586).
Dasha Grupman, a Russian-speaking associate who visited Epstein in prison (2008-09), participated in explicit recruitment conversations. In an email chain (EFTA00950368), Epstein asked:
"any friends for me?"
Grupman sent a photo. Epstein responded: "Pretty but mature" — rejecting the woman as too old. She then asked (EFTA00950394):
"how old will you go?"
This exchange demonstrates explicit age-awareness in the recruitment process. The same email thread was CC'd to Jean-Luc Brunel (EFTA01822611), the convicted model agency head, and forwarded to Ghislaine Maxwell (EFTA00883738).
Grupman also wished Epstein "lots of pretty girls" for his birthday (EFTA00952089). When Sarah Kellen stepped back, Grupman was discussed as part of the solution: Epstein needed "some new young person" to replace Kellen's role (EFTA00873278). She also recruited for island staff positions, specifying candidates should be "divorced" (EFTA00755309), and coordinated the Natalia Belousova pipeline — bringing a specific woman from Russia through modeling contacts (EFTA01768288).
A systematic pattern across 60+ documents shows Epstein managing psychiatric medications for women in his orbit without a medical license — selecting drugs, paying psychiatrists, and receiving reports on dosage changes.
Direct prescribing to Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway (EFTA00951188, Jan 2013): Epstein pushes antidepressants to help her quit smoking: "You will need drugs to stop. Forget course. Prozac, Zoloft or Wellbutrin. It was not him, he enabled you to put the demons aside. Accept them. They will lose their power." When she refuses ("I don't do drugs basta!"), he insists: "the course will be like a diabetic taking a class instead of insulin. just use it as a supplement for the first 2 months, consider it a band aid, your body is not producing a chemical it needs."
Managing an associate's medication for 7 years (2010-2017): A woman who presented on urban poverty to the Gates Foundation had her psychiatric regimen directed by Epstein — from Pristiq to Paxil/Lexapro (EFTA00891998), adding Wellbutrin to Cymbalta (EFTA00971375), reducing Wellbutrin from 450 to 300mg (EFTA01916126), stopping Wellbutrin entirely (EFTA02386035), then increasing Cymbalta to 60mg (EFTA00671065). She describes it as "our plan to up the cymbalta gradually" (EFTA01042087). Epstein offered her psychiatrists from Deepak Chopra's staff.
Additional women medicated under Epstein's direction:
On September 21, 2010, an attorney sent a direct email to Epstein (EFTA02418669, also EFTA00778536):
"I understand there is a new victim who filed another complaint against you last Friday. This morning, I contacted your new attorney, Ms. Sanchez, yet was unable to speak with her at length. Various sources including several attorneys have mentioned that you promised some girls, who came to visit you at your home(s) and give you massages, modeling jobs at MC2 and Victoria's Secret. Is this true? Please confirm or deny, thank you."
This letter explicitly connects the massage-abuse pattern to promises of modeling careers through Brunel's MC2 agency and Victoria's Secret — establishing that the lure of legitimate modeling work was a known recruitment tactic by September 2010, years before the full scope of the trafficking operation was publicly understood.
A 66-page document containing a former staff member's interview (September 30, 2021) and the complete Household Manual for 358 El Brillo Way, dated February 14, 2005 (EFTA00159394).
The witness returned voluntarily to correct her prior testimony. She "wanted to apologize to us because she felt that she may have minimized during our last meeting that she knew the girls were underage. Wanted to be clear that she knew at the time that the girls were underage." She stated: "I am telling the truth, I do not feel any pressure from you to say anything. It has been a process for me to come to accept responsibility."
From her modeling background, seeing underage girls "didn't raise a red flag" initially, but she acknowledged she "didn't have the courage to step up and say something at the time."
The witness observed 10–15 masseuses in person, estimating a total of 15–20 people came for appointments during her time in Palm Beach. She noted there was a "larger group of masseuses than the recurring group" — confirming a rotating pipeline of victims.
Shown a photo array (described as the "sexbook"), the witness identified Jeffrey Epstein (#7) and Ghislaine Maxwell (#16). She recognized one other person (#13) from the media. She confirmed the existence of two copies of Ghislaine’s contact book — "it was common knowledge that there were two books."
The witness stated: "JE had a gun in his bedroom, it made her afraid." This is corroborated by the household manual itself, which lists "Gun placed in beside table drawer" as a routine item on the Master Bedroom pre-arrival checklist — alongside tissues, water glasses, and eye masks.
The household manual’s Grooming & Guest Relations section instructs staff:
"Remember that you see nothing, hear nothing, say nothing, except to answer a question directed at you. Respect their privacy."
Staff were further told: "Unless otherwise instructed, NEVER disclose Mr Epstein or Ms Maxwell’s activities or whereabouts to anyone. If the caller is insistent, you simply ask to take a message... Do not be bullied."
All security concerns were to be reported to Maxwell: "Advise Ms Maxwell of any strange telephone calls or enquiries" and "any unusual behavior, such as strangers lurking around the vicinity of the property."
The manual reveals Maxwell’s central role in the household. She had her own dedicated bathroom and toiletries checklist. Staff duties were structured around "Mr Epstein, Ms Maxwell and their guests" — this phrase appears dozens of times throughout the manual. Maxwell had her own desk where correspondence was placed. She was the operational security point of contact. This was not a girlfriend living in her partner’s home — it was a co-managed operation.
The witness described a "wall of photos in an area, like trophies" at the Palm Beach property. She was "not sure if famous people in photos in PB" and "not sure if there were photos in PB bathroom" — a reference to the well-documented photo displays found at Epstein’s other properties.
FBI prep memo (EFTA00016590, Nov 30, 2021) documents house manager Juan Alessi's recollections of the manual. Alessi (employed ~1990–2002) confirmed receiving it as a booklet from Maxwell and a “duchess from England” — a woman “supposed to be royalty” hired by Epstein and Maxwell to teach staff household management.
Alessi pushed back: “I've been working for this for years, I'm not going to do this.” Maxwell insisted. He refused to fill out the checklists; “GM was pissed.” He fought with Epstein once when a guest lacked a toothbrush and Epstein's nightstand had no pen — both required by the manual.
The manual was phone-answered as “Mr Epstein residence,” never “Ms Maxwell residence” — despite Maxwell being co-head of household. Alessi recognized pages 1–6 and 8–10 but not page 9, and disputed portions of page 7 and page 31 (re: alcoholic beverages). Food had to be thrown out each time Epstein left, even if it hadn't spoiled.
Two additional copies of the manual exist as standalone 59-page PDFs: EFTA00066372 and EFTA00075882 (both Dataset 9, Bates-stamped MM02-RECORDS-000005 onward). These are separate scans of the same physical document — text differences are exclusively OCR artifacts (bullet character misreads, spacing). Both were DOJ-modified (size_delta: −2 bytes each, detected 2026-03-14).
Ruslana Korshunova, a Kazakhstani model known as "the Russian Rapunzel" who appeared in Vogue and Elle, was known personally to Epstein — he later wrote "I knew her very well" (EFTA00785575). Publicly available flight logs (not confirmed in EFTA corpus) place her on Epstein's Boeing 727 on June 7, 2006 at age 18, bound for his island. His modeling agent Ramsey Elkholy managed her estate after death (EFTA00689971).
On June 28, 2008, Korshunova was found dead after falling from a 9th-floor balcony at 130 Water Street, Manhattan. She was 20. Ruled suicide — no note found, no substances in her system. Friends and family rejected the ruling.
Epstein discussed her death obsessively across eight years (2010-2019):
Epstein used Korshunova's death for eight years as a tool of psychological manipulation — invoking her tragedy to control other young women's medical decisions and then demanding sexual photos.
Under use immunity in July 2025, Maxwell gave ~7 hours of proffer testimony to DAG Todd Blanche and FBI ASAC Spencer Horn. 136 findings in the EFTA corpus directly contradict her claims across 10 categories:
Internal contradictions: Claims to be "general manager" but missed abuse occurring "three times a day." Admits recruiting masseuses and "never checking their age" but insists she thought all were adults. Calls Andrew photo "fake" but recognizes her own outfit in it from that weekend. Claims 50K salary while FBI documents show 1M in transfers.
Flight logs for December 17, 2000 show renowned French interior designer Alberto Pinto (1945-2012) flying from Teterboro to St. Thomas alongside Virginia Roberts, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Jeffrey Epstein.
Pinto's firm Cabinet Alberto Pinto (11 rue d'Aboukir, Paris) had a continuous business relationship with Epstein spanning at least 2010 through 2018 — even after Pinto's death in 2012. The firm designed interiors for multiple Epstein properties: 9 E 71st Street NYC (master bathroom dome ceiling), Little St. James Island (cost estimates 2016), and Avenue Foch Paris (wire transfers 2015). A 40-foot container of Pinto furniture was shipped to St. Thomas for LSJ as late as October 2018.
A letter from Epstein to Pinto regarding the "house island project" was listed as court evidence exhibit #63. Contact person Linda Pinto continued working with Epstein after Alberto's death.
Gino Yu, a professor at Hong Kong Polytechnic University, acted as an intermediary connecting scientists to Epstein and simultaneously facilitated access to young women. In October 2016, while coordinating meetings between Epstein and consciousness researcher Stuart Hameroff, Lesley Groff emailed Karyna Shuliak: "I have confirmed the Stuart meeting and am also coordinating a meeting with Gino...but I don't know about the girls going to see the robot heart...?" — referencing Epstein's instruction to send unnamed "girls" to a Robot Heart party while scientists visited (EFTA00572248).
Yu arranged for Hameroff to fly to NYC specifically to meet Epstein: "Are you OK for meeting Hameroff? He's flying in mainly to see you" (EFTA00814295). He also asked if Hameroff could "crash at your crash pad? (where Joscha and I stayed last time)" — confirming he and Joscha Bach stayed at Epstein's property (EFTA00814455).
A year later (Oct 2017), Epstein's schedule shows back-to-back appointments: "4:30pm Interview w/Yana Novoselova (=M)" followed by "5:00pm Appt w/Lydia Laurenson (Gino Yu's friend) (=M)" (EFTA00285408). The identical "(=M)" notation for both a scheduled "interview" with a young woman and an appointment with Yu's female "friend" suggests these women were being introduced to Epstein in the same capacity. Yu's associates Peter Fenwick and Ray were also "asking if they could come see" Epstein (EFTA00317801).
Haley Robson was 16 years old when she was first approached to visit Epstein's Palm Beach mansion. After Epstein attempted to grope her during a massage, she did not return for massages — instead, she became a recruiter, bringing dozens of other girls to Epstein's home for $200 per victim.
Palm Beach police documented Robson's recruiting methods — she told prospective victims "the younger the better" and brought them to Epstein's house accompanied by "a Hispanic female" (EFTA01333100). Phone records from October 2004 under the name 'Holly Robson' in Fort Lauderdale document activity during the peak recruitment period (EFTA01310850).
Epstein's defense attorneys at Kirkland & Ellis referenced "Robson Tr." (Robson transcript) in legal briefs fighting to limit federal prosecution scope for co-conspirators including Robson (EFTA00210074). A civil lawsuit analyzed whether a victim-turned-recruiter could be sued as a co-conspirator under Florida law (EFTA00180294).
Robson was named as a potential co-conspirator in the 2007 Non-Prosecution Agreement but was never charged. She exemplifies Epstein's pyramid scheme model — turning victims into recruiters through financial incentives, creating a self-sustaining pipeline. She has since spoken publicly as a survivor and advocate for transparency.
Geir Frantzen, a Norwegian frozen food magnate, was the direct recipient of Epstein's most dehumanizing language about women. When Lyndon Lea arranged a Findus internship for a woman, Epstein instructed: "tell geir, she is serious, not a toy. toys are also available" (EFTA02415943). The 'toys' Epstein offered were separate women available for sexual purposes.
Epstein actively arranged dates for Frantzen. When someone expressed jealousy about this, Epstein drew the same distinction: "no no no ... this is for play, you are for serious" (EFTA00880099) — explicitly separating women into 'serious' relationships and 'play' (sexual exploitation).
The woman placed at Findus reported that her meeting with Frantzen went well and that he "offered to help with Findus job and put me in touch with a romanian lady" in London (EFTA02416005). Frantzen emailed Epstein about another woman: "Good girl, smart" (EFTA00752358) — evaluating women for Epstein in the same language Epstein used.
Frantzen was also involved in a business venture with Sarah Ferguson (Duchess of York) and Keith Frankel setting up Omega-3 products (EFTA02435212). A press article described him as the "Norwegian frozen food magnate who gave Fergie the £160,000 Bentley" (EFTA00751392).
FBI victim testimony (EFTA00011526, March 2021) describes how Epstein used dental appointments arranged through Dr. Thomas Magnani as a pretext to fly a victim to New York:
"[Victim] also went to JE's Paris apartment when [she] was already in Paris, she talked about a dental issue [she] had, JE had arranged dentist appointments for [her] and flew [her] to NY for dental appointments, appointments were right around the time when JE was arrested."
The same victim testimony reveals Epstein asked her to recruit: "JE would ask [her] to find girls for him, and JE asked [her] to meet with a young (18/19) girl for coffee in Russia. [She] did so, but does not recall her name, just told JE that the girl seemed fine."
Financial records confirm Epstein funded dental work for multiple women through Magnani's practice:
Magnani also facilitated Karyna Shuliak's Columbia dental school admission, with Lesley Groff contacting Senior Associate Dean Martin Davis as "Dr. Magnani's friend" (EFTA00683288). He regularly dined with Epstein and Columbia dental deans.
A trafficking victim's handwritten diary was forensically examined in May 2024 by DOJ — "no evidence of fabrication was found." The diary contains contemporaneous allegations against named individuals: Prince Andrew ("Andrew is like his brother in this way!"), Larry Summers ("Both he and Larry Summers are fucking disgusting!"), Dan Snyder ("Dan Snyder is a pig!"), Leon Black ("that fat fuck bit me!"), George Mitchell, Bill Clinton, Alan Dershowitz, Lawrence Krauss, Marvin Minsky, and others. These are contemporaneous victim allegations of abuse by multiple named individuals.
Handwritten diary entries from a trafficking victim (forensically examined in May 2024 - "no evidence of fabrication was found") contain contemporaneous allegations against multiple named individuals: "Both he and Larry Summers are fucking disgusting!"; "Dan Snyder is a pig!"; "old senators like George Mitchell who you think would be good like a grandpa are bad"; "Andrew is like his brother in this way!" (referring to Prince Andrew). On Leon Black: "that fat fuck bit me! He threw me on the floor and blood all over Jeffreys carpet" and "Leon can go fuck himself." A separate poem page is titled "Leon Black" with underlined words including "fatso millionaire," "it's violent," "goddamn baby screaming," and "there's always a bloody baby." The diary also names: Mr. Leonsis, Mr. Case, Mr. Kimsey, and others.
Internal SDNY emails from June 2023 reveal an active criminal investigation of Leon Black as a "Human Trafficking Subject." An AUSA writes: "I spoke with [redacted] again and got a read-out of their interviews of the victim... Let me know if there's anything else you'd like me to do with this." The email lists "Victim's identifiers" and "Potential targets." A separate February 2023 email states: "We have a new CW who has come forward and alleged sexual abuse by Leon Black. This CW was trafficked by Maxwell and Epstein." A May 2024 document shows the victim's notebooks (the diary) were forensically examined — no evidence of fabrication was found.
DOJ notes from a June 2023 call with the Manhattan DA's office contain graphic victim testimony about Leon Black. The victim, introduced to Maxwell at age 17, was driven to Epstein's NYC townhouse where: "Black was very violent, tore her clothes off, bit her vagina, forced sex toys into her." She "needed medical attention, bleeding." The notes state: "LB left her money on the table before he left." The victim described Black as "looking like Shrek." The call also discusses coordination between SDNY and DANY regarding "a minor victim" in the Leon Black trafficking referral.
A March 2024 attorney email to DOJ describes Maxwell's victim "approval" process in explicit detail: Victim "met Ghistaine Maxwell in a hotel room (she had to undress from waist down) and GM did 'yucky' things." After this screening: "she then was taken to a McLean VA mansion owned by Joe Robert ('JER' companies) and GM and JE were there. JE gave her the once over and nod of approval — she was sent to PB shortly afterwards for the first time."
This confirms: (1) Maxwell conducted physical screenings of victims in hotel rooms; (2) Joe Robert' McLean VA mansion was a trafficking waypoint; (3) Epstein personally approved victims before sending them to Palm Beach.
A Wigdor law firm memo from August 2021 documents a second victim who came forward with allegations against Leon Black. Attorney Jeanne Christensen writes: "the details she told me about what he did to her — are almost a perfect match about what my client told me — he violently bit down on her vulva, labia and clitoris. The biting would get harder and his teeth clamp down more when she yelled out in pain." The second victim, now in her 50s, says the assault occurred at Epstein's townhouse in 2001. She reports: "it is too abnormal to make up." The memo notes: "There is nothing publicly out there about the details of his specific sex acts with our client, so there is no way she could know."
A direct contemporaneous text message from a victim to Leon Black:
"Leon. You sexually harassed me, sex trafficked me, raped me, and eventually blacklisted me. I don't know for how much longer it will take me, on my own, to process the pain your caused to me and my family. The least thing you can do is to give me that document that I was forced to sign under duress and wasn't able to read before signing."
This message documents: (1) direct accusation of rape and trafficking; (2) reference to a coerced NDA signed "under duress"; (3) contemporaneous victim communication preserved in the record.
FBI notes from a June 2023 coordination call reveal that the Manhattan DA's office "believe she was also abused by Staley" — referring to the same victim who alleged violent sexual assault by Leon Black. The notes state that DANY "do not doubt her allegations against JE and LB" but "have not found any independent corroboration." The victim was introduced to Maxwell at age 17 (around 2001). Epstein's close relationship with Staley (then JP Morgan executive) is well-documented in emails. Staley resigned as Barclays CEO in 2021 over his Epstein ties.
A 36-page federal grand jury transcript from May 2007 captures FBI testimony in "Operation Leap Year" — the federal investigation that was ultimately derailed by the Acosta plea deal. An FBI agent testifies that a victim told investigators Epstein said "the younger, the better" regarding his preferences for girls. The testimony describes victims as young as 14, systematic phone records linking Epstein's assistants to victim recruitment, grooming techniques, and evidence that Epstein paid for victims' lawyers when they were served with grand jury subpoenas.
A prosecutorial summary document compiled from victim allegations and press reporting lists names of individuals allegedly involved in sexual activity with victims. The document states one victim alleged: "Epstein directed her to have sex with Glen Dubin" and that Maxwell and Epstein told her to have sex with "former New Mexico governor Bill Richardson; former Democratic Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell; the late MIT computer scientist Marvin Minsky; and MC2 model agency cofounder Jean Luc Brunel." The same victim alleged having sex with "Dershowitz at least 6 times, aged 16-19." Note: These are allegations from civil proceedings compiled by prosecutors, not adjudicated findings.
This is sworn testimony from a victim listing individuals who had knowledge of Epstein's abuse of minors.
A 32-page handwritten diary uses a rail fence cipher to document at least two forced births. The first with Ghislaine Maxwell present: "I saw between her fingers this tiny head and body in the doctors hands. It reached its tiny arm up and had a tiny foot." The victim writes: "I am nothing but your property and incubator!" and describes a eugenics program: "Superior gene pool ?!? Why me?... That feels very Nazi like."
A second birth on April 22nd in Palm Beach is documented in detail. An "elderly French lady" midwife at a house on Ocean Blvd delivered a baby girl (4 lbs 10 oz, 18.5 inches). After only 10-15 minutes, "Mr. M came to take her" while "those horrible girls were in the car waiting." The victim writes: "I am dead inside. Life has no meaning."
On Jean-Luc Brunel: "Jean Luc Brunel is a disgusting pig with bad breath... 6 weeks wasnt even given before being sent back. Punishment for trying to run." The diary also names Mr. Joe and Mrs. Anne at Mar-a-Lago as trafficking locations, and references a doctor "from Israel" and New Mexico.
In the same coded diary, the victim pastes a news clipping about child trafficking ("Unlike drugs, a child's body can be sold over and over") and writes: "This is not surprising but there is no such thing as a child prostitute! They are children and cannot consent! They are missing the biggest in my own backyard and so many more! Like Maralago and where I see Mr. Joe and Mrs. Anne." The victim explicitly lists Mar-a-Lago as one of the locations authorities were "missing" in their trafficking investigations, alongside other sites. She mentions specific individuals she encountered there: "Mr. Joe and Mrs. Anne."
The victim accuses AOL of facilitating recruitment. Under clippings of AOL advertisements including "Stay Alert" and "We Live Where You Live," she writes: "That company does not protect kids! They use it to find us! And they are everywhere! I cannot escape!" The diary names Steve Case and Jim Kimsey (AOL founders) in separate entries about "flights of horror."
A 32-page coded journal uses magazine collages with handwritten annotations. Page 20 directly references the NYC trafficking location: "walk down MADISON AVENUE to 71st" alongside clipped text reading "HELPLESS!", "crying out for help", and "EVIL AND pain, hate." Page 24 pastes "Maxwell Shoe Company" with handwritten notes: "his girls" and "who Else is actually Like me?" — showing awareness of other victims. Page 17 clips "Touch one child !!!" with handwritten "BAD from G" (likely Ghislaine). Page 22 includes "A GIFT FOR GIVING GIRLS" and "IN A WORLD OF WEALTH AND PRIVILEGE." Page 27 has handwritten "+ yachts" with decoded text mentioning "Jeffrey." Page 19 includes: "Why didn't anyone STOP IT FROM THE START. ?" and "It NEVER STOPS!" Page 21 annotates Sylvia Plath's "Stopped Dead" poem with decoded message: "I'm more Pain. Ask Rv. Knife gal...me"
FBI interview notes describe a victim being taken to a McLean, Virginia mansion owned by Joe Robert ("JER" companies) where "GM and JE were there" (Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein). The notes state: "JE gave her the once over and nod of approval — she was sent to PB [Palm Beach] shortly afterwards for the first time." This suggests an additional property in the trafficking network beyond the known locations (NYC, Palm Beach, New Mexico, Virgin Islands, Paris).
The forensically verified victim diary describes being trafficked to government employees: "being borrowed by a seemingly 'good' federal worker and even rented". The victim also names "Mr. Goodlatte" among a list of men she encountered: "Mr. Mody. Mr. Robert. Mr. Sant. Mr. Ludwig. Mr. Cecchi. Mr. Mora. Mr. Goodlatte. Mr. Atkins are not who they say!" (Note: Bob Goodlatte was a Republican Congressman from Virginia, 1993-2019, and Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.)
FBI interview with victim who was 15-16 years old:
"I got scared because it was so big. Epstein brought me to a room with a massage parlor. To me, it looked like an S&M parlor. Epstein made me engage in sexual activities with him there."
The victim describes being intimidated by the scale of Epstein's property and specialized rooms designed to facilitate abuse.
The diary documents multiple forced pregnancies, medical procedures performed by rotating doctors (including one "from Israel"), and Ghislaine Maxwell's direct involvement in the procedures: "Ghislaine said to push all the pain away" and "she put her hands over my eyes" during delivery.
The victim describes a baby being taken after only "10 to 15 minutes": "I only got 10 to 15 minutes to hold and feed her before they took her. She is mine! I want her back!!!" The diary includes an ultrasound image and references to a stillbirth with the printed clipping "Stillborn" and victim adding "She was born! I heard the tiny cries!"
The diary also references "Maralago" and "Mr. Joe and Mrs. Anne" in connection with trafficking locations, and names Jean-Luc Brunel as an abuser: "Jean Luc Brunel is a disgusting pig with bad breath".
Court filings contain explicit victim allegations against Alan Dershowitz. From EFTA00021553 (SDNY civil court filing, January 2, 2015):
"One such powerful individual that Epstein forced then-minor Jane Doe #3 to have sexual relations with was former Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz, a close friend of Epstein's and well-known criminal defense attorney. Epstein required Jane Doe #3 to have sexual relations with Dershowitz on numerous occasions while she was a minor, not only in Florida but also on private planes, in New York, New Mexico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands."
The filing further alleges: "In addition to being a participant in the abuse of Jane Doe #3 and other minors, Dershowitz was an eye-witness to the sexual abuse of many other minors by Epstein and several of Epstein's co-conspirators."
Critically, regarding the 2007 Non-Prosecution Agreement: "Dershowitz helped negotiate an agreement that provided immunity from federal prosecution in the Southern District of Florida not only to Epstein, but also to 'any potential co-conspirators of Epstein.' Thus, Dershowitz helped negotiate an agreement with a provision that provided protection for himself against criminal prosecution in Florida for sexually abusing Jane Doe #3."
Additional evidence: Dershowitz sent letter to Palm Beach Police attacking victim credibility using MySpace posts (EFTA01333242). Victim diary (forensically verified) names "Allen Douschewitz" among perpetrators.
On May 14, 2009, Epstein emailed Saunders: "send naked photo". Saunders replied: "Cool I Will do ...XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO". Saunders' email signature identifies her as "President and Chief Executive Officer" of CORE.
This exchange occurred after Epstein's 2008 conviction and while he was still under supervision. The same Saunders is named in a sworn victim interrogatory as the person who arranged for underage girls to travel to Epstein's island.
In a December 4, 2018 email chain about a CNN inquiry regarding Epstein's settlement with victim attorney Brad Edwards:
Kathy Ruemmler (former Obama White House Counsel, then Epstein's attorney) drafts: "After many years of distracting litigation with Mr. Edwards, Mr. Epstein believes that a negotiated resolution was an appropriate outcome to this matter."
Michael Wolff (journalist) rewrites the statement and adds: "can we push this more to indicate Edwards gets money not the girls?" — explicitly trying to frame the settlement as attorney enrichment rather than victim compensation.
Epstein responds: "defintely not pleased. but i am open to a statement."
This reveals a journalist and a former White House Counsel collaborating to craft statements that minimize sex trafficking victims and discredit their attorney. Wolff was simultaneously gathering material about Trump from Epstein for his books.
A VHS tape inventory from an Epstein property lists: "Cherry Poppers Crash Course Volume 9" and "Cherry Poppers #15 Mischievous Maidens" among other adult titles including "How to Give Pleasure to a Woman by a Woman."
"Cherry Poppers" is a well-known adult video series themed around virginity/first sexual experiences with very young-looking performers. Its presence at an Epstein property, alongside documented evidence of schoolgirl uniforms and underage victims, is consistent with Epstein's known sexual preferences.
An FBI Special Agent's sworn affidavit (EFTA00222943) confirms:
"I believe that certain items were purposely removed from Mr. Epstein's home in anticipation of an execution of a search warrant. This includes the three computers."
The FBI documented the chain of custody: property manager Janusz Banasiak stated a woman and private investigator Paul Lavery came and removed the computers. Lavery delivered them to William Riley of the Riley Kiraly investigation firm in Miami. Riley refused to say whether he still had them.
A separate Palm Beach Police detective affidavit (EFTA00222970) confirms the detective had personally observed Epstein's "pre-existing security system, which included the automatic downloading of the images from the pre-existing security cameras onto a personal computer" — but when the search warrant was executed: "computer monitors, printers, and other peripheral devices were present but the computers themselves were removed."
The FBI affidavit also documents abuse at Zorro Ranch, New Mexico: an artist's younger sister (age redacted, described as a minor) was taken to Epstein's New Mexico home where "Mr. Epstein touched [her] inappropriately and asked her to touch him while he was nude."
In an FBI interview conducted on July 12, 2019, a witness stated under proffer agreement:
"ZEMPOLI was trying to buy Elite Models with EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN introduced MELANIA TRUMP to DONALD TRUMP."
The witness describes being recruited through Paolo Zempoli, who worked with "ID Models." Epstein was visiting the modeling agency during casting auditions and looking through portfolios, including seeing a photo of the witness "wearing only swim bottoms."
At a dinner at Epstein's 71st Street residence, the witness mentioned she thought there was a lot of Russian prostitution:
"EPSTEIN told her, 'That's what I like best.'"
After dinner, Epstein gave her a tour of the house, took her to the massage room, and assaulted her with a "vibrating thing." The massage room was described as "a small, very dark room on the same floor as the master bedroom."
At dinner at Epstein's 71st Street residence, the witness mentioned Russian prostitution she'd observed during modeling work:
"[She] mentioned that she thought there was a lot of Russian prostitution. EPSTEIN told her, 'That's what I like best.'"
After dinner, Epstein took her to the massage room — described as "a small, very dark room on the same floor as the master bedroom" — and assaulted her with a "vibrating thing." The witness was recruited through Paolo Zampolli, founder of ID Models, who the FBI FD-302 notes "was trying to buy Elite Models with EPSTEIN."
The same interview establishes: "EPSTEIN introduced MELANIA TRUMP to DONALD TRUMP" — through the Zampolli modeling agency connection.
From EFTA documents containing Acosta's statements during his Trump transition vetting:
"I was told Epstein 'belonged to intelligence' and to leave it alone."
Acosta stated he had "been told" to back off, that Epstein was above his pay grade. This explanation was given for the notoriously lenient 2008 plea deal that allowed Epstein to plead guilty to state prostitution charges rather than face federal sex trafficking charges.
Additional documents show that Epstein himself told colleagues and friends that he was "an intelligence asset" (EFTA00143419). A victim also stated: "He never in a trillion years would have taken his own life. He was an intelligence asset" (EFTA00068892).
The intelligence connection raises critical questions about why federal prosecutors were told to "leave it alone" and whether intelligence agencies actively protected Epstein from prosecution.
SDNY prosecutors circulated this NY Post article headline internally on September 12, 2019, asking "How much of this has she repeated in her interview with us?" — confirming the victim had been interviewed by federal prosecutors:
"Jeffrey Epstein lost interest in pregnant victim, made her recruit underage girls"
This pattern — discarding victims who became pregnant and converting them into recruiters — is corroborated by the verified victim diary entries about forced pregnancies and abortions, and by FBI interviews documenting Epstein's request for victims to bring "younger friends."
From a New York Times article clipped by SDNY prosecutors in their daily news monitoring (July 31, 2019):
"Jeffrey E. Epstein, the wealthy financier who is accused of sex trafficking, had an unusual dream: He hoped to seed the human race with his DNA by impregnating women at his vast New Mexico ranch."
"Mr. Epstein over the years confided to scientists and others about his scheme... Mr. Epstein's vision reflected his longstanding fascination with what has become known as transhumanism: the science of improving the human population through technologies like genetic engineering and artificial intelligence. Critics have likened transhumanism to a modern-day version of eugenics."
The plan involved having 20 women at a time impregnated at his 33,000-square-foot Zorro Ranch. This corroborates victim diary entries: "I am nothing but your property and incubator!" and "create perfect offspring" and the victim's observation that this felt "very Nazi like."
From the French prosecutor's summary of victim statements:
A model introduced herself to the ICARINE modeling agency, where she met Jean-Luc Brunel and agreed to a photo session at his Paris home. During dinner:
"[She] felt that she had been drugged, since she could not explain how she had suddenly, without understanding how, found herself in the room with Jean-Luc BRUNEL. She had not wanted sexual intercourse but had felt powerless in the face of the solicitations and insistence of the respondent, who penetrated her with his sexual organ."
An unidentified man was present in the apartment during the rape but did not participate. The photo session never took place. The victim stated that "Jean-Luc BRUNEL used to bring in girls from the East, particularly young girls."
From the same French prosecution document, a second victim's statement:
"[She] stated that she had met Jeffrey EPSTEIN and his partner Ghislaine MAXWELL at the age of 16, in the south of France near Saint-Tropez. They had made friends and she went to their Parisian apartment on Avenue Foch in 2000."
The victim was then invited to Miami, and later to New York near 5th Avenue for 5 days: "It was during these 5 days that Jeffrey EPSTEIN was touching the girl, who tried in vain to resist him. She remembered in particular that he had penetrated her with a vibrator."
This formal French prosecution document confirms: (1) recruitment of minors near Saint-Tropez, (2) grooming through international travel to Paris and the US, (3) sexual assault using objects, (4) the victim's futile resistance.
The victim who was drugged and raped at Brunel's Paris apartment stated:
"She stated that at the time Jean-Luc BRUNEL used to bring in girls from the East, particularly young girls."
This corroborates the documented Aeroflot pipeline (3,005 EFTA documents), Daniel Siad's scouting in Latvia (EFTA00775255: "she looks younger from Latvia"), and the victim diary entry about Maxwell recruiting "from former eastern countries in Europe." Brunel was found dead in his Paris jail cell on February 19, 2022, in an apparent suicide while awaiting trial for rape and sexual assault.
A victim's T-visa application describes being:
The T-visa is reserved for victims of "severe forms of trafficking in persons" under the Trafficking Victims Protection Act. The victim's successful application means the US government formally recognized them as a trafficking victim. The forced plastic surgery detail is particularly disturbing — it demonstrates the level of physical control exercised over victims, who were treated as objects to be physically modified for the pleasure of their abusers.
A federal complaint filed in the Southern District of New York describes Epstein's first known victim:
"In 1994, Ms. [Jane Doe] was a 13-year-old girl attending [summer camp] in Michigan when she first met Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell... Jane Doe was their first known victim and was subsequently abused by Epstein and Maxwell for years as a young girl."
"This system, which took years to develop, all started with them exploiting and abusing Jane Doe who they used as a guinea pig to refine their criminal enterprise and widen their network of additional sexual abuse victims."
A separate victim compensation claim states: "sexually abused and raped by Epstein more than 200 times in Palm Beach, New York, New Mexico and Los Angeles" beginning at age 13 — abuse that continued for years across four states.
A forensically verified victim diary (EFTA02731420) describes a DC-centered trafficking ring distinct from the NYC/Palm Beach network. The victim writes:
"They are always flights of horror. Whether its with Jeffrey, Mr. Leonsis, Mr. Case, Mr. Snyder, the Gregorys, Mr. Colgan or one being borrowed by a seemingly 'good' federal worker and even rented, it is all horror."
The individuals named are all Washington DC-area power figures: Ted Leonsis (AOL executive, Washington Capitals/Wizards/Commanders owner), Steve Case (AOL founder), Dan Snyder (Washington Commanders owner), and Jim Kimsey (AOL co-founder, separately described as "deranged" in diary entry EFTA02731420).
A separate diary entry about AOL specifically states: "That company does not protect kids! They use it to find us!" — suggesting AOL's platform may have been used to identify and recruit victims.
All four AOL-connected individuals appear on the same Trilateral Commission membership list (EFTA01082667) alongside Joseph E. Robert Jr. (McLean, VA) — whose mansion was used as a trafficking pipeline location.
A separate diary entry (EFTA02731420) reveals additional names from the DC cluster:
"No one can prepare you for this shit. I am so fucking lost. Why did Mr. Colgan agree to this! Jeffrey treats me like I'm 'special' property, and when I need Ghislaine she is working and Mary is just as bat shit crazy as my mom. Joe Gibbs is so nice but Dan Snyder is a pig! A red skin hoggett(sp?)! The other girls well some are nice, but 3 I hate! Alice in fucking Wonderland?"
Key revelations: "Mr. Colgan" — now identified as Charles J. Colgan, Virginia State Senator — "agreed to this", implying direct participation or facilitation of abuse. Joe Gibbs (legendary Washington Redskins/Commanders head coach) is described as "so nice" but was present alongside Dan Snyder (team owner, called "a pig"). The reference to "The other girls well some are nice, but 3 I hate!" confirms multiple victims were present. The mention of "Alice in fucking Wonderland" adds to the pattern of fairy tale references found throughout the Epstein corpus (see Disney Princess Code Names section).
A "Merrill, Pastor and Colgan Architects" firm in Vero Beach, Florida (near Epstein's Palm Beach house) wrote a letter in Epstein's files dated June 26, 2013 (EFTA01205013). This is likely a different Colgan. Independent diary analysts (Narativ, Feb 2026) identified the diary's "Mr. Colgan" as Charles J. Colgan, Virginia State Senator (1976–2016), who represented Prince William County — northern Virginia, immediately adjacent to McLean, VA where the Roberts trafficking mansion was located. Colgan was the longest-serving Virginia state senator in history. He died January 3, 2017. The DC political geography fits precisely with the other diary names: Goodlatte (VA congressman), Snyder, Leonsis, Case (all DC).
Victim attorney Jeanne Christensen (Wigdor LLP) emailed SDNY prosecutors in March 2024 (EFTA02731512) describing a clear trafficking pipeline:
"After this meeting — she then was taken to a McLean VA mansion owned by Joe Robert ('JER' companies) and GM and JE were there. JE gave her the once over and nod of approval — she was sent to PB shortly afterwards for the first time."
The victim had first met Maxwell in a hotel room where she was screened — undressed from the waist down, and Maxwell did "yucky" things. After this initial screening, the victim was taken to Roberts' McLean mansion where Epstein evaluated and approved her before she was sent to Palm Beach.
The forensically verified victim diary independently corroborates this recruitment (EFTA02731420): "Went to a party at this huge house to meet this man named Mr. Robert and his pretty wife Jill. Same exact British lady from Clearwater was there! She talked to me all night. She wants me to come to her house in Florida so I can learn new things!"
The "British lady" is Ghislaine Maxwell. Roberts' wife's name "Jill" matches publicly known records: Joseph E. Robert Jr.'s wife was Jill Sorensen Robert. Roberts was founder of J.E. Robert Companies, a major McLean, VA real estate firm.
A separate diary entry (EFTA02731420) lists Roberts among perpetrators: "Mr. Mody. Mr. Robert. Mr. Sant. Mr. Ludwig. Mr. Cecchi. Mr. Mora. Mr. Goodlatte. Mr. Atkins are not who they say! Run run run!"
Eva Dubin (wife of Glenn Dubin) sent Roberts' contact information directly to Epstein (EFTA02443266, May 27, 2009), further connecting the Dubin family to the trafficking network.
An email from Epstein to Ghislaine Maxwell (EFTA00577409) compares an unnamed person to Joe Robert:
"meet him, he's interesting, very much like joe roberts... boring, rich, hick, remember he is the one who was blackmailed by the gir in p.b., from donad trumps party"
This email reveals multiple critical facts:
Combined with the attorney email confirming Roberts' McLean mansion as a trafficking pipeline location and the victim diary describing recruitment at his house, this email establishes that Epstein and Maxwell were fully aware of Roberts' involvement and the associated blackmail risks.
An FBI interview summary (EFTA00022133) documents a coordinated witness silencing campaign:
A victim who was abused by Alan Dershowitz "at least 6 times, aged 16-19" describes how "In 2007 Maxwell and Epstein (separately) called her to ask her to keep quiet."
A separate victim declaration (EFTA00020729) describes the dual-threat approach used against victims: "they were being discredited as drug addicts and prostitutes. But, on the other hand, if I were to keep quiet, I would 'be looked after.'"
The victim adds: "The fact that this call came in right after the FBI call reinforced my concern that the man I had talked to earlier was not really working for the FBI" — suggesting that Epstein's team was monitoring FBI contacts with witnesses.
Another document (EFTA00019169) notes a key witness who "settled last year with her for pennies (in comparison to what he's worth), and she now has a gag order" — despite being a witness who "was on his plane many times being paid to perform sexual activities with heads of state, leading businessmen, royalty, politicians and celebrities."
A third document (EFTA00037683) references someone under a gag order being told to "shut her up" if she didn't go along with the whole "suicide" cover story, and that "she was arrested and murdered".
The diary's "Mr. vradenberg" is identified as George Vradenburg, Senior VP and General Counsel at AOL and then AOL Time Warner. The extremely rare surname makes misidentification virtually impossible — he is the only Vradenburg/Vradenberg in the entire 867,000-document corpus.
Critically, Vradenburg appears in the SAME diary entries as other AOL executives: Steve Case (AOL founder), Jim Kimsey (AOL co-founder), and Ted Leonsis (AOL executive). The diary elsewhere states: "That company does not protect kids! They use it to find us!" — accusing AOL of facilitating victim targeting.
A FedEx shipping record (EFTA01259755) documents a physical envelope sent from John Kerry's DC Senate office (424 C Street NE) to Epstein's Madison Ave office in September 2002 — verified physical correspondence. A victim told the FBI (EFTA01245890) that Epstein, who knew she was in high school, bragged about being "friends with JOHN KERRY and BILL CLINTON" during grooming conversations. Sultan bin Sulayem (Dubai World chairman) asked Epstein to arrange a meeting with Secretary of State Kerry: "I understand that John Kerry is going to visit UAE next week I would love to meet him if its possible" (EFTA01904294). Household staff were shown a photo of "Senator Kerry" connected to Epstein's NY house (EFTA00181472). Epstein advised Terje Rod-Larsen on Kerry's schedule: "I think John Kerry, might be busy for awhile. they will turn to Bill Burns" (EFTA00964817).
A scheduling email coordinates a young woman's movement between Epstein and Jarecki's locations:
"says she can come at 6:00 (you are to be at Jarecki's at 5:30 though?) also thinks she will be out of school earlier and can come earlier"
The reference to being "out of school" strongly suggests this individual was a student — possibly a minor. She was being coordinated to arrive at Epstein's location before he departed for Henry Jarecki's residence, suggesting she was expected at both locations. This is consistent with the pattern of rotating young women through multiple locations documented elsewhere.
Henry Jarecki owned Norman Island and Guana Island in the BVI, directly neighboring Epstein's Little Saint James. Epstein accused Jarecki of torturing girls (EFTA01854125: "you torture, and mistreat each" girl). Epstein's own notes show "34 girls" adjacent to "jarecki" (EFTA00645002).
"BLACK FRAMED PHOTO OF NUDE GIRL" — displayed in the residence
The inventory also includes a Florida statute reference "PIMP 05.972(1)" associated with collected micro cassettes — Florida's pimping/pandering statute applied to audio evidence. This corroborates the FBI finding that the Palm Beach investigation had active sex trafficking charges.
The Maxwell prosecution memo documents the pregnancy-recruitment pipeline:
"[Victim] massaged Epstein in the first few months of her pregnancy. Once [she] was visibly pregnant, however, she stopped providing Epstein with massages and instead brought friends to massage Epstein."
An SDNY internal email confirms this pattern was known to prosecutors, with the subject line: "Jeffrey Epstein lost interest in pregnant victim, made her recruit underage girls"
The Maxwell prosecution memo further documents the payment system: "Each time Victim-1 brought a girl to Epstein, Victim-1 was paid $300, and the other girl also would receive $300, always in cash. Victim-1 states that Epstein knew that she was under the age of 18, and that he knew other girls she brought were under 18."
Phone message pads seized from Epstein's residence documented the procurement system in real time:
"message pads show messages taken from several of the girls who were interviewed and admitted to engaging in sexual massages or other sexual activity with Epstein. The messages contained text such as 'I have a female for him' and 'has girl for tonight.'"
These contemporaneous written records corroborate victim testimony about the recruitment pipeline — victims-turned-recruiters leaving messages confirming they had procured new victims for Epstein on specific nights.
Hope for Justice investigation memo (Aug 1, 2019): Victim "had been sexually trafficked when she was approximately 5 years old and again when she was 17 years old." At age 5-6, she was taken to Florida where she was trafficked. At 17, she was taken to the U.S. Virgin Islands where she was "sold" again.
The victim described being taken to "a room that looked like a horse stall that had short walls where she and other little girls were viewed and forced to have sex." A wheelchair-bound man in his 30s gave instructions to the other men as to what they should do to the girls.
The victim was called "an animal" and told that "having sex with HIM would make HER status better because HE was perfect" — mirroring the eugenics language documented in victim diaries. Trafficking continued until she was 30, when she escaped with help from a Christian couple. States involved: KY, TN, TX, FL.
FBI FD-302 interview (Aug 13, 2007): At age 14, victim was introduced to Epstein by a 17-year-old girl who said she could make $300 for a massage. When asked her age, victim "uttered 'four' and then said 17. Epstein responded by saying, 'so you are fourteen.'" Epstein told her "that they would not tell anyone."
On the first visit, the 14-year-old was seated on a couch while another girl and Epstein had sex on the massage table directly in front of her. "Epstein and [the girl] were looking at [victim] as they were having sex."
The victim went to Epstein's residence over 100 times for approximately three years beginning at age 14. Epstein touched her breasts and vagina, attempted to use a "massager" on her vagina. He progressively demanded clothing removal, offering an extra $100 to remove panties.
A former employee alleged Maxwell and Epstein "sexually abused her and her 15-year-old sister on two separate occasions." The employee saw "school-age girls" coming to Epstein's New York City home. This extends the pattern from Palm Beach to New York, confirming the multi-state trafficking operation.
In a deposition for the Jane Doe No. 2 case (SDFL Case No. 08-CIV-80119), a witness invoked the Fifth Amendment when asked about knowing John Brockman and being "photographed with Max Brockman at an Edge Science dinner." The very next question after the Brockman line was: "Did you escort those underage girls to the massage room where the defendant would enter and urge the girls to remove their clothes?" The Fifth Amendment protects against self-incrimination — its invocation in this context links the Edge Foundation dinners directly to trafficking allegations.
An FBI internal assessment (EFTA00154692) states: "No other victim described being directed by either Epstein or Maxwell to engage in sexual activity with any other men." Only one victim (Jane Doe #3, widely identified in press) made the comprehensive allegations about being directed to have sex with Prince Andrew, Alan Dershowitz, Jean-Luc Brunel, Glen Dubin, Bill Richardson, George Mitchell, and Marvin Minsky. The closest parallel: another victim described Epstein asking her to massage Harvey Weinstein, during which Weinstein asked her to remove her shirt; she refused and left.
However, the same FBI document reveals that in October 2019, a separate adult victim (not Jane Doe #3) was interviewed about Epstein directing her to massage Leon Black and Jes Staley. Leon Black "began initiating sexual contact" during the massage; the victim "ran out of the room." Jes Staley "forced her to touch his genitals and raped her" during a massage at Epstein's NY residence. When the victim complained about Staley to Epstein, he said "he left it to her and Staley to decide whether to engage in sex." The Manhattan DA's office subsequently "began looking into allegations against Leon Black." This independent account corroborates the core trafficking pattern even while the FBI noted only one victim made the broader allegations.
The 2015 Joinder Motion (SDFL) contains sworn allegations: "Epstein also trafficked Jane Doe #3 for sexual purposes to many other powerful men, including numerous prominent American politicians, powerful business executives, foreign presidents, a well-known Prime Minister, and other world leaders." The filing states Epstein's purpose in "lending" victims was "to ingratiate himself with them for business, personal, political, and financial gain, as well as to obtain potential blackmail information." Alan Dershowitz is specifically alleged to have "helped negotiate an agreement with a provision that provided protection for himself against criminal prosecution."
Perry Lang described massages as "a big part of EPSTEIN's life" that happened "several times a day". The people who came to massage were "mostly female... active women, college looking girls, some maybe older." He was required to sign an NDA before starting the job. Maxwell was controlling: "She tells PERRY LANG that he is not allowed to talk to the guests" and "it was almost like EPSTEIN had something on MAXWELL." After leaving in 2002, Perry Lang sent a 35-year-old massage therapist to Epstein as a thank-you. The therapist reported back that Epstein told her "he has a chest full of sex toys." Perry Lang was named in the sworn victim interrogatory (EFTA00727684) as having "Knowledge of finances and defendant's sexual desire for minor girls."
Sandy Berger, Clinton's National Security Advisor (1997-2001), is named in the sworn victim interrogatory (EFTA00727684) as having "Knowledge of finances and defendant's sexual desire for minor girls." Flight logs confirm Berger flew on Epstein's aircraft. In a deposition (EFTA01246832), the Fifth Amendment was invoked about the Epstein-Berger relationship — notably, this question appeared in sequence between questions about Jean-Luc Brunel bringing minors and Alan Dershowitz, suggesting the interrogator viewed the Berger relationship as comparable in significance. Berger was separately convicted in 2005 of stealing classified documents from the National Archives (stuffing them in his socks and pants), receiving a plea deal with community service. He died in December 2015.
A victim's attorney reported that video of trafficking abuse involving the victim was circulating on a "disgusting sex site" as recently as 2024 (EFTA02731515). The attorney states a Leon Black associate was involved. This means the surveillance footage from Epstein's properties — which victims, staff, and investigators all confirmed existed — was not merely blackmail material but is now being distributed as CSAM. VHS tapes from the 2006 raid were 6 hours each at extended play (EFTA00021759). Three mini-VHS tapes were classified under Protective Order for the Maxwell trial.
An FBI interview (EFTA01248273) describes a victim being flown to Los Angeles by Epstein — "told her it was for her and the girls" — then sent to the Beverly Hills Hotel: "A woman who worked at the hotel took her to a presidential suite. She met a man named GEORGE MITCHELL inside of this room. She did not know who he was but just knew he was a friend of EPSTEIN's. As she met him in the room he was on the phone with EPSTEIN." Mitchell told the victim "she would be staying with him in this room." After going for a walk and dinner: "MITCHELL asked for a massage. He then asked for a blow job and sex so she complied. [She] did what she was told." This describes a complete trafficking pattern: Epstein arranged travel, a hotel employee facilitated delivery, Mitchell was on the phone with Epstein confirming the arrangement, and the victim complied because she was under Epstein's control. Court filings separately state the victim was "directed to have sex with friends of Ms Maxwell and Mr Epstein, including Glenn Dubin, Les Wexner, Ehud Barak, former Senator George Mitchell and Stephen Kosslyn" (EFTA00653926). The forensically verified victim diary describes Mitchell as: "old senators like George Mitchell who you think would be good like a grandpa are bad" (EFTA02731465).
JPMorgan Chase records (EFTA01583819) reveal that Jeffrey Epstein served as TRUSTEE of "THE JAMES E CAYNE TRUST NO S UAD 12/27/04" — giving Epstein legal control over the former Bear Stearns CEO's trust assets. Simultaneously, Cayne was named executor of Epstein's will in 2003 codicils (EFTA00089546): "I appoint HENRY JARECKI and JAMES CAYNE as Executors of this will." This reciprocal fiduciary relationship is the deepest form of mutual trust documented in the corpus. Epstein's office file cabinet physically contained "ESTATE PLAN JAMES CAYNE" (EFTA00299927) alongside Leon Black's estate documents, Woody Allen's family passports, and Boris Nikolic's health care proxy. A victim swore under oath that Cayne had "Knowledge of finances and defendant's sexual desire for minor girls" (EFTA00727684). Cayne was listed in Epstein's highest-priority call tier: "Is there anyone that I should immediately try to connect you to now? It used to be Wexner, Ace Greenberg, Jimmy Cayne" (EFTA00409722).
A January 2010 email from a Palm Beach real estate broker (Fite Shavell & Associates) to Epstein (EFTA00764574), with subject line "Dan Snyder", states: "Hello after much work I was finally able to get Dan's number thank you so very much for the referral." A preceding December 2009 email (EFTA00767027) from the same broker — after an in-person meeting with Epstein — asks: "I will try and contact Mr. Dan Snyder today, should you have a good number for me to reach him at this would be helpful." This proves Epstein was personally brokering introductions for Snyder in Palm Beach — the epicenter of Epstein's trafficking operation — after his 2008 conviction. Dan Snyder was separately a Deutsche Bank Wealth Management client ($2.1B net worth, EFTA01475859) managed by the same team (Stewart Oldfield) that handled Epstein's accounts. Deutsche Bank was pursuing "boat loan, stadium financing, rates hedging" and a $25M managed investment mandate for Snyder (EFTA01472840). The forensically verified victim diary (Dataset 12) states: "Dan Snyder is a pig!" TMZ circulated a rumor of Snyder's arrest in the Epstein/Maxwell case that reached SDNY prosecutors (EFTA00102503).
In his February 2010 deposition (EFTA00182657), when asked directly under oath: "Is it your intent to interact sexually with minors in the future?" — Epstein invoked his Fifth Amendment rights.
An innocent person could simply answer "no." His refusal to deny future intent to abuse children is one of the most damning moments in the entire EFTA corpus. Similarly, when asked "Have you interacted sexually with any underage minors in the last year while on house arrest or work release from jail?" — he again invoked the Fifth. Throughout approximately 25 Fifth Amendment invocations, Epstein used a rehearsed formula: "I'd like to answer that question. However, my counsel has advised me that I must assert my 14th Amendment, 6th Amendment, and 5th Amendment rights."
He then attempted to recharacterize his guilty plea: "I'm saying I pled guilty to the solicitation of prostitution." Then: "Not underage prostitution, simply prostitution." The attorney immediately corrected him: "I was of the impression that you plead guilty to a second-degree felony, that being procuring a minor for the purposes of prostitution." When pressed on who the minor was, Epstein claimed he was "never told" who the victim was — yet moments later demonstrated detailed knowledge of her FBI statement versus her deposition testimony, contradicting his claimed ignorance.
In the same 2010 deposition (EFTA00182657), the attorney stated on the record that victim Tatum Miller — abused from ages 13 to 16 while Epstein was ages 50 to 52 — was:
"Coerced into recruiting other underage minor females, roughly 50 or so more."
Epstein did not deny this allegation. This documents the pyramid recruitment scheme where victims were systematically coerced into bringing additional minors into the network.
The attorney also revealed that an investigator had located a former house manager at an Epstein property in California: "He teared up and said, 'I was hoping to forget everything I saw.'" This suggests abuse occurred at properties beyond Palm Beach and New York, including California. The deposition also confirmed Epstein retained and paid for attorneys to represent his witnesses, including housekeeper Luella Rabollo — a pattern of controlling witness testimony through financial dependency.
Grand jury testimony (March 29, 2021) in the Maxwell case (EFTA00008744):
"Maxwell offered to get her a passport so she would be able to travel."
The victim "had told her that she was 14 years old."
This demonstrates Maxwell's active facilitation of international trafficking — offering travel documents to a child she knew was 14, enabling transport across borders for exploitation.
An FBI victim interview (EFTA00153851) reveals that a victim was brought by David Blaine to a dinner at Epstein's Manhattan townhouse where 'There was a big dinner there with NAOMI CAMPBELL present.' The victim was subsequently trafficked to Epstein's island, New Mexico, and Palm Beach, where she was sexually assaulted during massages.
Separate documents show an 11-year relationship (2005-2016) continuing well after Epstein's conviction. Campbell used Epstein as a conduit to Les Wexner's Victoria's Secret (April 2005 phone log: 'regarding my swimsuit line. For a meeting with VS'). In January 2016, she demanded his private jet for a NY-Miami flight, calling back twice when told it was unavailable. Epstein ordered pilot Larry Visoski to charter a plane for her. Paris meetings were coordinated through Sarah Kellen (2009-2011).
Dr. Jess Ting, a plastic and reconstructive surgeon at Mount Sinai, performed surgery on women described as Epstein's "assistants" and was on Epstein's emergency medical contacts list (EFTA00304515).
On November 18, 2016, Dr. Ting performed surgery on "Yulia", one of Epstein's "assistants." The billing was handled through Epstein's office — Lesley Groff facilitated payment of the outstanding invoice, promising "you will get paid! promise!" (EFTA00443662). Separately, Groff arranged for another "assistant" to see Dr. Ting for cyst removal on her face (EFTA00439430).
This pattern connects to a trafficking victim's T-visa application (EFTA00173740), where the FBI documented a victim of "severe form of trafficking" who was forced to undergo plastic surgery. The FBI New York Field Office certified the victim's continued presence for an active investigation. While there is no direct evidence linking Dr. Ting to forced procedures, the pattern of Epstein paying for cosmetic surgery on young "assistants" through his staff parallels the trafficking victim's account of being made to undergo plastic surgery.
Dr. Ting also evaluated Epstein's lipoma (Dec 2016), with his sister-in-law at Memorial Sloan Kettering reviewing the MRI. He escalated urgency about liposarcoma risk, but Epstein cancelled the surgery in March 2017 (EFTA00440340, EFTA00445331, EFTA00446267).
In 2014, while pursuing her case against Epstein with attorney Brad Edwards, Virginia Giuffre (identified in documents as Jane Doe 102) undertook a painful effort to reconstruct the timeline of her prior trafficking by Ronald Eppinger. A series of emails shows her reaching out to law enforcement contacts for records that could corroborate her account.
July 18, 2014 — Giuffre wrote to a contact: "I remember you saying you we're familiar w the Ron Eppinger case and knew someone from the inside that personally was there at the time. I'm not going after Eppinger, just putting together pieces of a puzzle that's not so nice to remember" (EFTA01660400). She noted Eppinger was "arrested in 01' for illegally transporting women from Czech Republic and soliciting them for prostitution" and referenced "Charlie's place (club owner of hot chocolates bar & restaurant in Ft.Lauderdale)" where she had been housed.
August 22, 2014 — Giuffre reported hitting a dead end: "I have finally got through to the sergeant at Wilton Manors and he does not have any records on me ever or Ron Eppinger or the guy that I was picked up with supposedly named Charlie" (EFTA01660398). She speculated records may have been "destroyed being a minor or some other legality."
Earlier, on April 15, 2014, Giuffre had emailed FBI agent "Jason" at the Miami field office requesting "photos and/or video recordings released by the FBI to assist our case further in proving how much pedophilia occurred by Jeffrey and the many other monsters he obliged w underage girls" (EFTA00209896). She mentioned her attorney Brad Edwards and wanting "this BS non-prosecution agreement thrown out."
These emails are significant because they show Giuffre actively trying to document her own trafficking history — the same history that Epstein and Maxwell were simultaneously weaponizing to discredit her. While Epstein emailed his PI "ron eppinger was her pimp... she is totally full of shit" (EFTA00906588), the victim herself was desperately trying to reconstruct what happened to her as a child.
Jean-Luc Brunel's MC2 modeling agency served as a systematic pipeline for recruiting and trafficking young models to Epstein and his associates. Brunel was indicted in France for rape and sexual assault of minors. The MC2 agency provided a veneer of legitimacy for recruiting victims internationally and trafficking them to Epstein's network of powerful men.
A December 2012 email exchange reveals Epstein was sending so many women ("victims") to a New York gynecologist that the doctor joked Epstein was "keeping him in business singlehandedly."
Someone in Epstein's inner circle asks: "Do you remember the name of the Gynocologist that you used to send your victims to?" The reply: "Yes, many years ago you used to send them to a gyno in NY who once commented something to the effect that you were keeping him in business singlehandedly."
This is direct evidence that: (1) The volume of trafficking was so high it was a running joke with medical professionals; (2) Someone in Epstein's circle explicitly referred to the women as "victims"; (3) Medical professionals were complicit in examining trafficking victims without reporting.
Flight logs from Epstein's aircraft (N908JE "Lolita Express" and others) document women being transported to Little Saint James, Zorro Ranch, Palm Beach, and other locations where powerful men were present. The systematic transport of young women to locations where VIP guests were received constitutes evidence of trafficking "to other individuals."
Virginia Giuffre's testimony—which resulted in an out-of-court settlement with Prince Andrew— explicitly described being trafficked to Prince Andrew for sexual abuse on multiple occasions at Epstein's properties. While Prince Andrew denied wrongdoing, the settlement and the FBI's own investigations acknowledged Giuffre's credibility as a trafficking victim.
Email correspondence shows Jes Staley coordinating a visit to Epstein's private island, Little Saint James. The email thread documents travel arrangements for Staley to the island during his tenure as a senior JP Morgan executive. This contradicts Staley's public statements minimizing the nature of his relationship with Epstein.
The same FBI notes describe a second recruiter beyond Maxwell: a woman (name redacted) who "introduced her to Gislaine Maxwell when she was 17" and was physically abusive. The notes state: "One time [redacted] dragged her up flight of stairs by her hair... She was terrified of her, [redacted] would be physical including by slapping her." This person was "controlling of [victim's] body" and "gave her a phone which was used to communicate with her." The DOJ notes state the victim "has identified other potential traffickers" and prosecutors are "doing due diligence."
During a court hearing, Epstein's attorney argued that prostitution doesn't make someone a pedophile. From EFTA00015606:
Epstein's lawyer: "there was prostitution involved and maybe a lot of it, but that doesn't mean that the person involved is pedophile, a rapist or, heaven knows, a trafficker."
THE COURT: "Well, if the women involved were under 18, isn't that rape?"
September 22, 2018 email sent to Jeffrey Epstein's personal email (jeevacation@gmail.com). The email contains only an attached image file (DSC06964.JPG) and the text: "Age 10". The sender's identity is redacted. This was sent to Epstein less than a year before his arrest.
This appears to be someone offering a child to Epstein. The existence of this email raises serious questions about who was still providing Epstein access to children after his 2008 conviction.
The June 11, 2019 SDNY prosecution memorandum authorizing sex trafficking charges against Epstein. The memo states prosecutors have "reason to believe that Epstein's conduct traces back at least to the 1990s" and describes a "years-long scheme to recruit and entice minor girls." It confirms interviews with approximately 35 victims in the original Florida investigation, and notes the SDNY is "not bound by the SDFL non-prosecution agreement." Epstein was arrested the next month.
December 2012 email from Howard Lutnick to Jeffrey Epstein:
"Hi Jeff, We are landing in St. Thomas early Saturday afternoon and planning to head over to St. Bart's/Anguilla on Monday at some point. Where are you located (what is exact location for my captain)? Does Sunday evening for dinner sound good? I have another couple (Michael and Marcy Lehrman) with me on my boat, and each of us has 4 children"
This email was sent four years after Epstein's 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor. Lutnick was actively socializing with Epstein, inviting him to dinner with his family on his yacht near Epstein's private island.
Staff emails from May 2012 show Peter Mandelson staying at Epstein's NYC mansion at 9 East 71st Street — the same location where trafficking occurred. One email states: "Peter Mandelson is arriving at the house today around 5pm. He will be staying at 71st for 2-3 nights." Another email from the same week asks: "Does Mandelson plan to come to jeffrey's house Friday evening?" This occurred four years after Epstein's 2008 felony conviction for soliciting a minor. A separate letter to US Attorney Geoffrey Berman notes: "Mandelson's intimacy with Epstein lasted over a period of years and he stayed in at least two of Epstein's properties, including the New York mansion."
In a February 2012 email, Epstein asks Jean-Luc Brunel about a woman named Svetlana Zhuravleva: "do you know her". Brunel responds: "Yes I brought her for showrooms." Brunel, who died in custody in 2022, ran MC2 modeling agency and was charged with sex trafficking.
Email correspondence from June-July 2009 between Epstein and Russian model Svetlana Pozhidaeva (email in Cyrillic: Светлана Пожидаева) directly references Brunel's MC2 agency: "before MC2 had told me 3 weeks, but its been more than a month already and no news..." She travels between Milan, Moscow, and the US, and writes: "you are one of the most important people in my life." Her Russian passport separately appears in Deutsche Bank grand jury subpoena material.
October 2011 email to Epstein: "it was 2 interesting girls but when i asked age, mm... 17yo all the girls from contest were the way too young this year. I fly to Russia to change the passports tomorrow till tuesday." Another email: "i am on Elite Model look France now ;)) so many cute girls". Epstein received regular reports from Elite Model Look competitions.
Sofia Hellqvist (now Princess Sofia of Sweden) was listed as Jeffrey Epstein's date/companion at a December 9, 2012 private screening of Les Misérables organized by Peggy Siegal:
"2c Mr. Jeffrey Epstein ( Sophia Hellqvist )"
The guest list included Katie Couric, Glenn Close, Claire Danes, Barry Diller, Harvey Weinstein, and ~140 others. "2c" means two confirmed. This was four years after Epstein's 2008 conviction, and while Hellqvist was already dating Prince Carl Philip of Sweden.
Hellqvist was introduced to Epstein through her mentor Barbro Ehnbom, who ran the "Best & Brightest" (BBB) network. Ehnbom referred to Hellqvist as "our friend Sofia" in emails to Epstein (EFTA02431162) and regularly shared her photos: "Here is a photo of our Sofia — you remember — i.e. soon Princess Sofia...the whole Swedish press is looking for her" (EFTA00775965).
Marcus Forss (Ehnbom's son) confirmed in June 2010: "Sofia Hellqvist (who I think you have met) who is dating the swedish prince here" (EFTA02411543). According to news reports, Ehnbom also sent bikini photos of Hellqvist to Epstein and invited her to Little Saint James, which she declined.
A January 2015 email from Next Model Management to Jeffrey Epstein is marked "for your eyes only, you never saw this". The email describes a woman who "attended Chanel show earlier today and is close to them" and suggests exploring a relationship with Karl [Lagerfeld] and his team, even with Fendi.
The agency writes: "We really liked her, she is beautiful, chic and curious, enthusiastic and a very interesting profile to represent at Next." The secretive phrasing and direct reporting to Epstein demonstrates his involvement in the model recruitment pipeline.
On December 28, 2018, Drokova introduced attorney Katya Fisher to Epstein (EFTA01009995):
"Katya, Jeffrey, Please meet each other. You both know the context. You are my smartest friends with the best sense of humor. I'm very excited that you'd get to know each other."
Epstein immediately Skyped Fisher. She responded: "Nice to e-meet you, I have heard wonderful things about you from Masha for a very long time." The next day: "A pleasure speaking with you! Looking forward to next time."
This is the second documented woman Drokova introduced directly to Epstein, following Lana Pozhidaeva (March 2018) and preceding "Zoe" (May 2019). The phrase "you both know the context" suggests pre-briefing about what to expect. The pattern — young women introduced to the convicted sex offender at his residence with eager follow-up — mirrors documented recruitment methods.
In a November 2011 email regarding Ian Osborne and Jacob Burda attending a gala, Epstein instructs Lesley Groff: "Also send invite to sultan and get names of girls from faith".
"Faith" refers to Faith Kates, founder of Next Model Management. This shows Epstein directing staff to obtain "names of girls" from his modeling agency connection — clear recruitment pattern evidence.
FBI interview with MCC psychologist explains the rationale for housing Epstein with Tartaglione:
"Her thought was the decided upon cellmate, TARTAGLIONE, had a lot to lose given his history and charges, which made him low risk to EPSTEIN."
Tartaglione was a former police officer facing federal charges for the murder of four men in a drug trafficking case. Their bodies were found in an unmarked grave.
In April 2013, a victim emailed Epstein directly at his jeevacation@gmail.com address:
"I was a young 18 year old girl. I did nothing wrong! YOU DID! How dare you suggest otherwise"
This is a rare example of a victim confronting Epstein directly via email. The preceding email from Epstein's account (EFTA00680879, March 2013) reads simply: "tell sue to drop dead" — aggressive language directed at someone named Sue, possibly the same victim or an intermediary.
Court documents describe a captivity and escape attempt:
"A 15-year-old girl attempted to swim off Mr. Epstein's island and escape after she was forced to engage in sex acts with Mr. Epstein and others."
"The girl was found, and held captive on the island after he confiscated her passport."
This documents: (1) a minor victim held captive; (2) forced sexual acts with Epstein "and others" (trafficking to third parties); (3) passport confiscation to prevent escape; (4) attempted escape by swimming.
A Dutch model emailed Epstein (June 2011): "i wanne be a movie star..modeling is killing me... you where right! i broke up whit this stupid guy... can you manage me.. i wanne make my dreams reality..like you made your dreams reality!"
Epstein forwarded this email to Ramsey Elkholy, who responded:
"Will you asks [her] to come to NY and be my love slave? :) I can rent for her an apt... she is also a great scout...fearless. I'm working on her, she is ok w lingerie I think, otherwise still kinda conservative. The good news is that other guys are trying to date her and it seems that she is gradually starting to forget about her bf."
This email chain shows: (1) A vulnerable young woman reaching out to Epstein for career help, (2) Epstein sharing her with an associate instead, (3) the associate using "love slave" language and describing "working on her" to overcome resistance to sexual exploitation, (4) the woman valued as a "scout" (recruiter) — "fearless."
Joshua Fink emailed Jean-Luc Brunel directly about MC2 model agency finances: "Dear Jean Luc, I am not sure if you received the email I sent on Tuesday. By chance yesterday I received an invoice from MC2 in the mail. I would love to clarify a point or two with you as I do not believe I have a full understanding of things at the moment." — showing the son of BlackRock's CEO had direct financial dealings with Brunel's convicted trafficking operation.
In an email from Joi Ito to Epstein, Ito writes: "I'd LOVE for you to meet Joe Jacobson". The email's subject line is "Re: augmented Japanese school girls" (EFTA01965812). Epstein responds: "you have my proxy".
While the subject line likely refers to augmented reality technology being tested in Japanese schools, the context — an email chain between a convicted sex offender and a man who laundered his donations — makes this subject line deeply concerning.
Rodriguez describes a separate Manhattan property: Epstein "owned a building, apartment building, empty, only for his models" — a dedicated facility for housing young women separate from his townhouse. Rodriguez notes the setup ensured "younger girls will be comfortable with [it] versus a 50 year 55 year old guy."
An email forwarded to Epstein's personal email (mjeevacation@gmail.com) on May 20, 2009 contains 21 Polaroid image attachments (polaroid_001.jpg through polaroid_024.jpg, with gaps). The email originates from Madeleine Root at Next Management, LLC, CC'd to Ron Gerard, forwarded from Faith Kates — co-founder of Next Models (EFTA00775111).
Faith Kates appears in 3,013 documents in the EFTA corpus. Other emails show Epstein instructing associates to "get names of girls from faith" (EFTA01740839). This documents the direct pipeline from a major modeling agency to Epstein's personal inbox.
In a March 2011 email discussing legal filings, Epstein writes: "edwards filed a request that tries to set aside my agreement, it also states that you and jean luc were part of a criminal enterprise"
He then confirms victim's age: "the first vr on the plane is 12/2000.. oct 2000 is about right. for her leaving maralago she would have been 17"
"VR" refers to Virginia Roberts (now Giuffre), who has testified she was recruited by Ghislaine Maxwell from Mar-a-Lago when she was 16. Epstein confirms the timeline and age in this internal communication.
Eva Dubin emails Jeffrey Epstein (January 2010): "Both NBC and Mt. Sinai are very interested in Jaclyn. What do you think would be better for her?" This shows Eva Dubin was using Epstein's influence to place young women in jobs at major institutions - a pattern consistent with the grooming and control tactics documented in trafficking operations.
This directly connects Scoop Models (Danish modeling agency) to the Epstein/Brunel trafficking pipeline. The phrase "looks younger" is consistent with documented recruiting patterns.
"I need to find enough models and hostess from different countries... I have to pay for the license and residence permit half of the scouting fees so I have enough to pay the tickets for girls coming to Dubai."
Siad describes having "almost 25 models" already and scouting "in different parts of Europe" all summer. This documents international trafficking infrastructure funded by Epstein.
Across multiple 2017 emails, Chopra repeatedly encouraged Epstein to bring unidentified "girls" on international trips:
The suggestion to "use a fake name" indicates awareness that Epstein needed to conceal his identity. The repeated references to "your girls" as a recognized category of Epstein’s companions — across three separate exchanges — show Chopra was familiar with the women around Epstein and comfortable inviting them along.
In an email exchange dated January 13, 2012, Jeffrey Epstein sends Tom Pritzker a one-word message: "dugan?"
Pritzker responds: "Yes, she's cute but I think a little too old even for me."
This statement suggests Pritzker has a preference for females younger than the woman Epstein proposed, and the phrase "even for me" implies this preference was known to Epstein.
In a May 2017 email, a young woman asks Epstein about coming to work for him. Epstein responds with explicit recruitment instructions:
"I suggest you help me find y new assistants. 20 -24. presentable. flexible. that is the best way for you to earn money"
When she notes most of her friends are her age or have families, Epstein dismisses this. She later asks "What about me coming to work for you this summer? Or am I too old for you already?" - indicating awareness of his age preferences.
Email from Jean-Luc Brunel to Epstein about a Russian model named "Lana" in Paris: "A girl called Lana from Russia is in Paris with her rich boyfriend... She speaks wit Ruth who asked her if she went out with friend of mine in NY. Answer No .you are crazy, he is too old for me"
This shows Brunel actively tracking young models and reporting back to Epstein about those who resisted.
Email from Annabelle Neilson (British socialite, Alexander McQueen's muse, Ladies of London cast member) to Epstein:
"So I am putting a little group of girls together. Hopefully one of them will have all the right qualities you desire... a few of my girls, who would be perfect for the job but are unfortunately past their sell by date"
The email explicitly describes recruiting women for Epstein, noting some candidates are "past their sell by date" - indicating awareness of his age preferences. Neilson signs off with "Lot's of love" (same distinctive spelling appears in other emails from her). She died in 2018.
March 11, 2014 email to Epstein (jeevacation@gmail.com):
"Thank you for a fun night... Your littlest girl was a little naughty."
The use of "littlest" and "naughty" in this context is extremely concerning language suggesting exploitation of minors.
January 2013 email to Epstein with 5 photo attachments:
"New Brazilian just arrived, sexy and cute, 19yo"
Direct evidence of international trafficking pipeline with photos attached.
Email explicitly describes women being selected for sexual/romantic purposes:
"She would not be your assistant but rather a gorgeous date"
This shows the true nature of the "Best & Brightest" network - providing attractive young women as "dates" for Epstein, not legitimate employment.
Epstein personally connected Junkermann to Leon Black, Apollo Global Management founder:
"I spoke to Leon Black... He said he will take you to lunch or dinner and be any help he can."
This demonstrates Epstein acting as a connector between his female associates and his billionaire financial network. Leon Black is separately under investigation for sex trafficking allegations related to Epstein victims.
Direct email from Jeffrey Epstein while in Paris:
"im in paris until the 26ht, find cute girls in la?"
This email shows Epstein directly instructing someone to recruit "cute girls" in Los Angeles while he was traveling in Paris.
Email to Epstein from Moscow describing recruitment opportunity:
"Here in Moscow there are so so so many cute girls. Sex everywhere. I went to a sex shop today and bought a whip."
The sender then asks Epstein: "Are you going to be more cooperative next time and e.g. say yes when I ask you whether three cute girls and me can come to the party?"
This shows an associate actively scouting women in Moscow for Epstein and requesting permission to bring them to his events.
Email showing regret at missing a recruitment opportunity:
"I should have just come anyway to the bristol party, big big big mistake I made, I was so close, with three cute girls. I have to learn so so much, I'm such a beginner."
This email is a reply to Epstein asking if the sender would "deliver what you promised three times already" - indicating a pattern of expecting associates to bring women to events.
An April 2025 FBI internal email catalogs photos found during investigation. Key items:
"two age difficult females clothed in kitchen with Epstein standing on island (one female face visible other not)" - FBI could not determine if subjects were minors
Email from "G. Max" (Ghislaine Maxwell) to someone named "Nick":
"Nick Plse send me the no. to get in touch w/Michael as I want to talk to him. + I looked at the potential au pairs and I am not sure they are cute enough - sorry + when do actually get back?"
Au pairs are domestic childcare workers — their physical appearance should be irrelevant to the role. Maxwell screening them for attractiveness suggests the "au pair" designation was a cover for recruiting young women based on looks, consistent with the well-documented pattern of using employment pretexts (assistant, masseuse, model) to recruit victims.
A tipster reported to the FBI National Threat Operations Center (NTOC) via tips.fbi.gov:
"I talked to him for about 20 or 30 minutes about my being sex trafficked by my uncle and Jeffrey Epstein in 1984 while I was 13 and pregnant. I told him some other important information about other high profile individuals involved in my sex trafficking and the murder and disposal of my newborn daughter because I gave birth to her while in the middle of this sex trafficking ordeal."
The alleged crime was described as: "child sex trafficking and infanticide" occurring May–September 1984, "Mostly from a yacht in Lake Michigan originating from Mona Lake, MI."
The tipster stated they had previously spoken with an NYPD detective on the FBI sex trafficking task force about these allegations. The tip was formally documented under case 50D-NY-3027571.
13min 57secs — "sex video with minor"
"Madam G" almost certainly refers to Ghislaine Maxwell. The sender demanded 1 bitcoin within 6 hours to a specified wallet address, with delivery by overnight courier. Whether genuine evidence or extortion attempt, this demonstrates the widespread belief — consistent with confirmed OPR findings about hidden cameras — that Epstein recorded sexual encounters, including with minors.
A second Epstein email provides even more detail about the blackmail scheme, naming both the target (Les Wexner) and a witness (Leon Black) who was aware:
"his whole case was about les wexner. and boiese trying to blackmail him...leon black was horrified"
This email establishes: (1) Boies' legal activities were allegedly a pretext for blackmail; (2) Leon Black — himself later investigated by SDNY for sex trafficking — was aware of and "horrified" by the scheme; (3) The target was Wexner, who had the deepest financial entanglement with Epstein of anyone in his network.
At Epstein's July 2019 bail hearing, SDNY prosecutors informed the judge about what was found during the search of 9 East 71st Street:
"found at least hundreds, and perhaps thousands, of sexually suggestive photographs of nude females, many of whom appear to be underage."
The prosecution also noted "specific evidence" was found — the passage was cut off in the transcript, suggesting sealed evidence of particular severity.
Same victim's trafficking intake questionnaire: "I was raped by Jeffery Epstein. Multiple times. He was threatening to kill and harm other children if I didn't do what he said. He had video cameras he said, and if I didn't do what he said they would see that I caused the other children to get hurt. Then I would be put in jail."
Also: "I was born into sex trafficking...I was forced by threat of being killed, bodily harm, and threats of harming other children if I did not have sex with them and any other people that they sold me to."
At USVI: "I was 17 years old...blindfolded and taken to an underground location. It had steps that went down. I was raped by Jeffery Epstein, there were other men that raped me. I was kept in a stall so that men could look at me."
Ghislaine Maxwell email to Tom Pritzker arranging an Epstein dinner: "24 people — Mandelson, Black, Blaine, Brockman, Jarecki... + 5 models who are the serving girls." This reveals that young models were used as waitstaff at dinners with billionaires, politicians, and intellectuals — a documented grooming tactic where models were put in close proximity to powerful men.
At approximately age 16, an associate called and said "Epstein wanted [her] to take photographs." Nude photos were taken at Epstein's Palm Beach residence — by the pool, intracoastal waterway, living room, bathroom, and balcony. She was paid $500 for posing but never received any of the photographs.
Epstein asked her: "Do you have any friends that might be interested?" and specifically "if she had any younger friends." He paid $100 per girl recruited. Epstein sent Victoria's Secret bras and underwear, massage oils, and a book titled "Massage for Dummies" via FedEx.
Notable physical detail corroborating other victims: "Epstein's urethra is located on the side of his penis instead of on the tip" — this distinctive anatomical detail was independently confirmed by multiple victims.
An internal SDNY prosecutor email titled "possible additional witnesses / victims" identifies a person photographed with John Brockman who "was underage at the time" in 2002. The same person was described as a "frequent flier on Epstein plane, attended dinners, flew with to the Bahamas." This is a federal prosecutor's own assessment linking Brockman directly to an underage victim in Epstein's network.
Lesley Groff emails Epstein (February 26, 2010): "Shall I have Lynn prepare 'heavy snacks' for your evening appointments with Peter Mandelson, Jes Staley and Jamie Dimon? Or is this to be a nice sit down dinner at 9pm?" Epstein replies: "snacks." This is a post-conviction evening — Epstein had already served his 2008 sentence. Jamie Dimon (JPMorgan CEO), Jes Staley (head of JPM's private bank), and Peter Mandelson (UK politician who later resigned from the House of Lords over Epstein connections) were all at Epstein's house together. JPMorgan later paid $290 million to settle a lawsuit alleging the bank knowingly facilitated Epstein's trafficking. 172 documents reference Dimon in the corpus.
Stephen Kosslyn, Harvard and Stanford psychologist, is explicitly named in court filings (EFTA00653926) as a person the victim was "directed to have sex with friends of Ms Maxwell and Mr Epstein, including Glenn Dubin, Les Wexner, Ehud Barak, former Senator George Mitchell and Stephen Kosslyn." With 1,926 documents in the corpus — one of the highest counts for any academic — Kosslyn had an extraordinarily deep relationship with Epstein. He was scheduled for "a full day of 'visitation, with contact'" alongside Jean-Luc Brunel (later convicted of sex trafficking): "jean luc, and steve kosslyn and his wife are already scheduled. I would like to bring jenn down to help" (EFTA00771641). Epstein provided Kosslyn an apartment — Kosslyn wrote: "Greetings from apt [number] (and thank you for that!)" (EFTA00755657).
"Snow White" assault: Same day — someone reports to Epstein: "the snow white was f..ed twice as soon as she put her costume))" (EFTA00741531, Jul 10, 2010) — reporting a sexual assault using the code name
"Snow White" costume photos: Epstein to woman: "brett ratner is going to film a big movie, Snow White, i would love to take photos of you in a snow white costume" (EFTA00746255, Jun 2010)
"Beauty and the beasts" (plural!): iMessage where woman sends Epstein photos, says "Too old for you!", Epstein responds "beauty and the beasts" (EFTA01621586, May 2015)
"My little mermaid!": Nicole Junkermann emails Epstein with photos (EFTA00907707, Jan 2018)
Bella Klein, Epstein's accountant, routinely processed medical expenses for unnamed "girls" in the network. Richard Kahn (Epstein's financial manager) emailed Epstein:
"bella sent me the latest batch of medical bills for girls just wanted to confirm that you do not want to see these and that bella should pay all medical once girls confirm for accuracy"
Epstein replied: "bleaching is not acceptable. sorry, pay it but its out of hand"
This reveals: (1) there were enough "girls" requiring medical care that it was a routine batch process, (2) Epstein exercised control over what treatments were "acceptable", (3) the girls were expected to "confirm for accuracy" — suggesting they were pressured to approve bills without seeing a full accounting.
Separately, Klein controlled medical reimbursements: "Did she get JE approval to go there and use his Amex, as I reimburse her for medical only" (EFTA00474973) — showing Epstein's financial infrastructure managed girls' medical access.
Multiple emails document Epstein's office wiring money to Sberbank (Russian state-owned bank) accounts for unnamed women. Bella Klein (Epstein's assistant) coordinated these transfers:
These documents show a systematic pattern of wire transfers from Epstein's New York accounts to Russian bank accounts for women whose identities are redacted. Combined with the 3,005 documents referencing the "Aeroflot pipeline" of Russian women, these financial records corroborate a trafficking financing operation.
Faith Kates, founder and owner of Next Management LLC — one of New York's top modeling agencies — appears in 4,615 documents in the EFTA corpus, making her one of the most frequently mentioned non-staff individuals.
Kates coordinated three-way calls between herself, Epstein, and Brett Ratner in November 2018 — eight months before Epstein's arrest. Ratner had been publicly accused of sexual misconduct by 6+ women in October/November 2017.
Kates attended Epstein dinners with Woody Allen, Charlie Rose, Brett Ratner, Leon Black, Peter Mandelson, and others. When she asked who would be at dinner, Epstein responded: "woody, his wife, maybe ratner, charlie rose" (EFTA01831735, Dec 2010).
Kates maintained the relationship through Epstein's 2008 conviction and beyond. After his release: "U were in both the post today and daily news... same shit just another day... stay strong it will all come to pass... Xoxo me" (EFTA00682282, March 2011). She was on Epstein's jail contact list.
An earlier document (EFTA01740839) contains the note: "Get Names of Girls from Faith" — a direct instruction to obtain names of women/girls from the model agency owner.
In December 2012, Epstein's pilot Larry Visoski researched UK immigration rules to transit a Russian woman through London Stansted Airport without a UK visa. The subject line reads simply: "UK Visa Russian."
Visoski confirmed with Universal Aviation handlers: "If you arrive in a Private Jet into Stansted from Paris with Mi[redacted] and she possess a US Visa, she is allowed to enter UK and transfer from the Falcon to the Boeing, as long as we are departing to US soil."
A separate email the same week confirmed the private jet route was specifically chosen to avoid immigration: "if he was to travel via train then taxi he would need a UK visa to enter the country." The woman's email address was Milvacation@gmail.com.
Lesley Groff coordinated the logistics: "JE mentioned he may use the Boeing on Dec 7th London to NY. He told me he would Paris to London, Stansted UK to meet the Boeing there with [redacted]. I did some work since [she] has no UK visa, where she can enter UK and make transfer to Boeing."
On December 6, a Chapman Freeborn charter (Citation Jet F-GXRK) was booked from Paris Le Bourget to Stansted for 2 passengers, arriving at the Aero Toy Store FBO where Epstein's Boeing 727 (N908JE) was hangared. Darren Indyke booked a room at the Radisson Blue Hotel Stansted for the overnight.
This reveals a deliberate operation to move a Russian national through UK airspace without immigration scrutiny by exploiting a private aviation transit loophole.
In a June 2015 email (EFTA00854969), Peter Attia shared Epstein's lab results (testosterone: 121, HDL: 24 — both critically low) and drew a remarkable comparison:
"I was thinking about it after I left...we have something in common (besides our appreciation for O-visas!): People come to you for a low fanfare, below the radar desire to compound their wealth. People do the same with me for their health."
O-1 visas are for "individuals with extraordinary ability." Epstein's network used O-1 and other visa categories to bring foreign women (primarily Eastern European) into the United States — a documented part of the trafficking pipeline. Attia's casual, parenthetical reference to a shared "appreciation for O-visas" suggests awareness of this visa usage. Attia also introduced practitioners into Epstein's townhouse: Jesse Schwartzman (Fit4ward) for a gym assessment (EFTA00459879), and his office director Mary Stephens stayed at Epstein's apartment (EFTA00331325). Attia functioned as Epstein's primary physician, prescribing a full drug regimen and consulting with "lipid gurus" about Epstein's case (EFTA00853059).
Barbro Ehnbom, a Swedish-American businesswoman, ran “Barbro’s Best & Brightest” (BBB) — a network of 150 vetted young women in business, created in 2001 to “promote future women leaders in Swedish and International business.” Ehnbom annually selected a “Female Economist of the Year” (FEOY) and introduced winners to Epstein.
Evidence of recruitment pipeline:
Epstein funded the network directly: EFTA00459520 (Jul 2017) shows a 5,000 wire to BBB AB in Sweden via SEB bank. Ehnbom referred to BBB as “your BBB” when writing to Epstein (EFTA01021462), indicating his ownership/sponsorship. She also arranged his Stockholm visits and connected him with Swedish scientists and royals.
The pattern mirrors other Epstein recruitment pipelines: a legitimate-sounding organization (BBB/FEOY) serving as a funnel for young women to be introduced to Epstein, with the organizer receiving financial payments. 1,029 documents across sets 9, 10, 11.
An email from Barbro Ehnbom to Epstein (EFTA00968090) reveals she screened candidates on physical attributes and was explicitly aware of Epstein's age preference:
"I have not at all forgotten your assistant need...when is Sara leaving? Would you like to have a Swedish girl in that position? I thought Alex would have been great, she is in top physical shape, has two masters, big heart and has had a staff of 24 at the top restaurant she worked at here...I think she can get her papers in order now....so she'd be tops I think but you rather have younger... Search goes on!"
This email is significant because it shows: (1) Ehnbom vetting women based on physical appearance ("top physical shape") alongside academic credentials; (2) Epstein explicitly rejecting a qualified candidate because she wasn't young enough; (3) Ehnbom continuing to search despite the rejection, indicating a pattern of compliance with Epstein's age preferences.
The same email also mentions bringing "our new beautiful Female Economist" and organizing a BBB gathering at Epstein's townhouse. Ehnbom then pivots to requesting $15,000 from Epstein to cover a BBB deficit at Stockholm School of Economics — showing the financial dependency that drove the pipeline.
Barbro Ehnbom's son Marcus Forss was directly involved in recruiting women for Epstein. An email thread with subject line "JE girl?" (Jeffrey Epstein girl) shows the family-run nature of the pipeline:
Ehnbom to Forss: "CAN YOU FIX?"
Forss to Ehnbom: "She is interested!!!"
Ehnbom to Epstein: "skypename below and her e-mail address is [redacted]..sounds just right!" (EFTA01900109)
The term "JE girl" — used as shorthand between mother and son — shows the recruitment operation was normalized within the Ehnbom family. Forss also confirmed Epstein's relationship with Sofia Hellqvist (EFTA02411543) and sent Epstein updates from Sweden.
In a separate thread, BBB member Emma Marthans introduced herself directly to Epstein as a candidate for his "assistant" position: "I'm Emma Marthans, one of Barbro's Best and Brightest. According to Barbro you are a highly appreciated friend of this fantastic network that Barbro is providing 'her' girls with." (EFTA01904224)
An email from Epstein to his scheduler Lesley Groff regarding Jes Staley reveals the intersection of BBB women and Epstein's inner circle:
"yes, but tell him about the girls I can step out for ten mini..." (EFTA00362214)
The subject line is simply "Jes Staley" — Epstein directing Groff to tell Staley about available women. The casual reference to "the girls" in the context of a meeting with Staley connects the BBB pipeline to Epstein's most senior associates. Staley was a named successor executor in Epstein's will (EFTA00082296) and is accused in victim diary entries of leaving "bloody marks on my arms from his belt".
A July 19, 2013 travel schedule (EFTA00387269) documents Epstein's day trip from New York to MIT and Harvard — with a revealing detail about who traveled with him:
The morning began with Joel Klein breakfast and Boris Nikolic (Gates' science advisor). Then:
"9:00am Jojo to pick up M, [redacted] and [redacted] from 301 and bring them to 71st"
Three unnamed individuals were picked up from 301 East 66th Street (Epstein's auxiliary apartment building, where young women were regularly housed) and brought to the townhouse before the trip.
After meetings at MIT (Neil Gershenfeld, Reid Hoffman) and Harvard (George Church at Harvard Medical School), the schedule shows:
"6:00pm Tristar Worldwide Transport to pick you up and take you to Bedford Airport and another car to take the 3 girls to train or plane"
While Epstein departed Bedford Airport for St. Thomas (his island), "the 3 girls" were sent separately by train or commercial flight. The use of "girls" rather than "assistants" or staff names, combined with pickup from the 301 building, follows the documented pattern of young women being transported alongside Epstein to academic settings.
The schedule also notes: "7:13pm Karyna to arrive Boston via USAirways 2138" — Karyna Shuliak arrived in Boston the same evening, suggesting a handoff.
A January 5-12, 2021 email chain between SDNY prosecutors and the DOJ Attaché at the U.S. Embassy in Paris (EFTA00021720) documents extensive coordination on the Brunel case after his arrest at Charles de Gaulle airport on December 16, 2020.
Key revelations from the DOJ Attaché's readout:
The memo also reveals SDNY "gathered a large number of photographs, including photos that feature Brunel" from searches of Epstein's Manhattan townhouse (July 6-7, 2019) and Little St. James (August 12, 2019). An MLAT (Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty) request was being drafted.
Deutsche Bank records document a $250,000 wire transfer from Southern Financial LLC (an Epstein-controlled entity) to "Joichi Ito" on July 2, 2014 (EFTA00027019, DB-SDNY-0003972). This is a direct, documented financial payment from Epstein to the then-director of the MIT Media Lab.
In April 2014, Epstein discussed funding mechanisms with Ito (EFTA00683944): "do we have a vehicle to fund. or should i just use ped" — "PED" referring to Martin Nowak's Program for Evolutionary Dynamics at Harvard, which Epstein used as a conduit for funding.
Most troublingly, in April 2015, Ito's MIT office arranged Japanese visas for Epstein's traveling companions (EFTA00349192). The visa applications listed Epstein's "assistants" as:
Ito's assistant Mika Tanaka provided the full visa procedure including requirements for Russian passport holders (EFTA00349621) — the procedure was forwarded to Karyna Shuliak. This shows MIT institutional resources being used for Epstein's operational logistics involving young women.
Ito described Epstein's science network as "the regulars" (EFTA00347363): "I assume Jeffrey will be inviting the regulars like Joscha Bach, Danny Hillis, George Church" — revealing the inner circle's casual familiarity. In December 2013, Ito planned a "Mathematics of Deception" island retreat with Neil Gershenfeld, Sebastian Seung, and Judith Donath (EFTA00680563): "a build-a-brain project... deception would be a subsystem to design or emerge."
Contact continued through at least March 2018, when Ito was given Epstein's island phone number and personal cell (EFTA00471164). Ito resigned as MIT Media Lab director in September 2019.
Ramsey Elkholy operated as a serial procurer of Czech women for Epstein across a documented seven-year span (January 2011 to February 2018), continuing well after Epstein's 2008 conviction and up to 18 months before his July 2019 arrest.
January 2011: Elkholy emailed Epstein with 4 attached photos (EFTA01805095):
"this is [REDACTED] an 18 yr old Czech girl, 5'11..."
The same thread reveals Elkholy was 'managing' a woman named Regina who had a dangerous boyfriend. Epstein commented "hes dangerous" and suggested "maybe your russian girl can help, the one who showed regina around that day." Epstein also offered "vera wang" for one of the women — designer gifts as grooming tools.
February 2015: Elkholy sent Epstein a link to a Czech modeling/casting agency (EFTA01793493):
Subject: kale (czech)
http://www.dfc.cz/zeny/kate-cast/fotky
The URL points to the photo gallery of a woman on a Czech casting site. Elkholy was actively scouting Czech agencies for Epstein.
February 2018: Still at it, just 18 months before Epstein's arrest (EFTA02521106):
"6 ft Czech model you should meet, if you're around."
Epstein replied: "ck thurs, name? how are you?" — confirming his interest and requesting the woman's identity.
Combined with the "love slave" email (June 2011, Dutch model) and victim court filings alleging Epstein "transported minor girls from Turkey, the Czech Republic, Asia, and numerous other countries, many of whom spoke no English" (EFTA00210921), this establishes Elkholy as a persistent procurement channel for Epstein targeting Czech women specifically.
In October 2009, while Epstein was on work-release from his Florida jail sentence, Nadia Marcinkova (nadja2102@yahoo.com) actively screened a Czech woman for him.
Marcinkova emailed Epstein at his 'JE Jail' address (EFTA00771554):
Subject: czech
Attachment: katka.jpg
'Katka' is a Czech diminutive for Katerina/Katarina. Marcinkova sent a photo of this woman with no additional text.
Epstein replied (EFTA01819200):
"not enough info"
Marcinkova responded (EFTA02438462):
"I will skype with her today or tomorrow to get a better idea."
This is an active procurement screening operation conducted during Epstein's incarceration. A photo was sent, Epstein demanded more vetting, and Marcinkova agreed to personally interview the Czech woman via Skype. The 'JE Jail' email alias confirms this was during his sentence.
Six months later (April 2010), Epstein sent Marcinkova an email referencing a 'Czech ride' (EFTA01813296):
"it was the night before czech ride and all through the house, not a creature was stirring not even a m[ouse]"
This playful Christmas parody suggests a planned trip to the Czech Republic with Marcinkova — consistent with her Czech/Slovak background (she was originally from Slovakia).
An unidentified female sender (name redacted across all dataset versions) repeatedly offered Czech women to Epstein from 2013 to 2015. She describes herself as Czech ('I hope I'm still # Czech number 1') and considers herself in competition with Zlata Rybarova for Epstein's attention.
February 2013: The sender offers to bring a Czech friend to NYC (EFTA00953089):
"Will you be in NY next weekend? I'm coming to visit my czech friend there fri, sat, sun :)"
Epstein asked: "is she the crazy one" — the sender reassured: "she is not crazy :) she is just wild lol" — Epstein replied: "photo?"
March 2013: Epstein forwarded her request to his assistant Lesley Groff (EFTA00956524):
"ok, les do we have an apt for her"
An apartment was arranged with a doorman and welcome instructions. Groff's involvement in arranging housing for women offered to Epstein is consistent with her documented role as operational co-conspirator.
April 2013: After Epstein met Zlata Rybarova, the sender wrote (EFTA00628068):
"i hope zlata was cool ;) oh well I hope I'm still # Czech number 1"
October 2013: The most damning exchange. Epstein rejected a woman as "too old." The sender responded (EFTA00675519):
"Is she too old for you?? Lol Well I will hunt my other Czech friends"
Epstein's rejection based solely on age, and the sender's immediate offer to find younger replacements, is consistent with the broader pattern of age-based procurement documented throughout the EFTA corpus.
November 2015: Still sending photos two years later (EFTA00697978):
"Czech friend of mine a lots of fun :)"

In an April 12, 2003 email (EFTA00582316), Ghislaine Maxwell described a dinner party to Tom Pritzker:
"a 12 out of 10 - everyone you'd want + some - 24 people - Mandleson, Blacks, Blaine, Brockman, Jarecki, Stroll maybe chicken - + 5 models who are the serving girls"
Henry Jarecki was a named guest at a dinner where Maxwell explicitly stated that young models would serve as waitstaff — a pattern documented across multiple Epstein events where the line between "service" and sexual exploitation was deliberately blurred. Other guests included Peter Mandelson, Leon and Debra Black, David Blaine, and John Brockman.
Epstein's daily schedules show a pattern of Henry Jarecki's appointments at the 71st Street townhouse occurring on the same days as Jennie Saunders — identified in a sworn victim interrogatory (EFTA00727684) as the person who "arranges for underage girls to go to and from Jeff's island."
From EFTA00314248:
"9:30-11:00 Appt w/Dangene (Jennie Saunders) [...] 12:30 Appt w/Henry Jarecki at 71st [...] 2:00 [REDACTED] to arrive (she can stay until 4:30) [...] 3:00 appt w/Jonathon Farkas"
Separately, another schedule note (EFTA00424844) records a woman being coordinated between Epstein and Jarecki locations:
"[REDACTED] says she can come at 6:00 (you are to be at Jarecki's at 5:30 though?) also thinks she will be out of school earlier and can come earlier if that is better for you...just let her know."
Dr. Samuel C. Klagsbrun, M.D. (595 Madison Ave, NYC) was a psychiatrist treating at least two women in Epstein's orbit — "Dana" and "Jen" — with Epstein paying all bills and directing their medication choices. 36 documents trace this pattern from 2009 to 2012.
Epstein controlled access to the doctor: When "Dana" couldn't get an appointment, Epstein immediately contacted Henry Jarecki (commodities billionaire): "can you put in a word to sam, its important thanks". Jarecki responded: "I called him right after you called me... He'll do what I ask. Is it okay that he knows it's you?" Epstein initially wanted his identity hidden: "fyi jarecki doesn't know your name" (EFTA01828381).
Epstein controlled payment: Bookkeeper Bella Klein routinely asked "Do I have your permission to pay Dr. Klagsbrun bill for Jen... ,000?" (EFTA00918777). When Dana's insurance didn't cover Klagsbrun, Epstein said: "just go to him, ill pay, make sure he gives you a prescription for a couple of months" (EFTA00922372).
Epstein controlled medication choices: "klagburn for zoloft, prozac, ativan? .. should we try" (EFTA00778636).
Billing records (EFTA01118550): 00/session, weekly visits, diagnosis 309.24 (Adjustment Disorder with Anxiety). Patient billing address: 301 E. 66th Street — near Epstein's townhouse. Dana was on Klonopin and transitioning to Cymbalta/Ativan — anti-anxiety drugs consistent with trauma.
Epstein's phone records reveal 44 calls to McLean, Virginia across three billing periods (EFTA00014718, EFTA00014767, EFTA00014822) — including 28 calls in August 2003 alone and 3 calls within 3 minutes on August 3, 2003. McLean, VA is the location of Joe Robert' mansion, confirmed as a trafficking screening site by victim attorney Jeanne Christensen (EFTA02731512): Epstein gave the victim "the once over and nod of approval — she was sent to PB shortly afterwards." FedEx records also show Epstein shipping packages to the same McLean address (1676 International Drive) in both 2001 and 2004 (EFTA01258746, EFTA00219491).
Charles "Chip" Pickett III served as Pilot-In-Command of Epstein's Gulfstream G550, with Larry Visoski as Second-In-Command. Flight manifests show Pickett piloting Epstein alongside crew member Holly Ann Van Heemst and an unidentified Russian female passenger.
Pickett received regular wire transfers via Vectra Bank: $7,276 (March 2017), $16,625 (June 2017), $18,000 (October 2017). As the pilot who flew Epstein during the 2016-2019 period, Pickett would have been a key witness to passenger manifests, flight destinations, and the identities of those who traveled on Epstein's aircraft after his 2008 conviction.
Victim testimony at age 15:
"She says she was 'nervous and scared and wanted to leave' once she got to Epstein's spa room. 'I thought, I can't call my dad or my mom because I'm stuck in this situation and didn't know what to do. I really didn't know what this man was capable of. For a long time, I felt like it was my fault and that's exactly what he wanted me to feel.'"
Maxwell asks Epstein how old a victim was when she started working for him. Epstein responds calculating the statute of limitations: "she didn't work until 99 and left in 2002, the statue of limitation is six years"
Maxwell pushes back: "I'm not thinking of statute of limitations..how old was she in 99 then?"
Epstein replies: "17"
Maxwell then dismisses the victim's lawsuit: "Why would they put a law suit together w/such easily verifiable facts that just make it, her, and the lawyer look terrible... I know it's all lies anyway + tying to bribe you for money"
This email chain shows: (1) Epstein confirming a victim was 17 when she started "working" for him, (2) Epstein's first instinct was to calculate statute of limitations, (3) Maxwell dismissing the victim's claims as "lies" and "bribe" while simultaneously asking the victim's age — awareness of the underage issue, (4) Both coordinating a legal strategy about a minor victim.
A victim told the FBI that Epstein was "well aware of her age". She told him she was "seventeen, but getting close to eighteen." Epstein wished her a happy 18th birthday before the actual date — confirming he tracked her age.
The victim stated she and Epstein "had sexual intercourse on one occasion, when she was seventeen." Epstein also "frequently used a large vibrator/massager directly on her vagina" before her 18th birthday.
Grooming pattern: Epstein gave her Victoria's Secret underwear/bras and an Olympic digital camera with a photography book — consistent with the documented grooming pattern across many victims.
Recruitment mechanism: A personal assistant would call from New York to say they were traveling to Palm Beach and ask if she was "available to work" — "work" meaning massages that included sexual activity. Prior to her 18th birthday, Epstein also invited her into group sexual activity with himself and another person.
Court document states: "defendant asked A.H. how old she was, and she said she was 16; defendant told her not to tell anyone her real age"
This proves: (1) Epstein directly asked victims' ages, (2) When told a girl was 16, he did not stop — he told her to conceal her age, (3) This demonstrates knowing, deliberate exploitation of a minor with active concealment of the crime.
A victim stated she was "handed over to put me to work at an escort service on E. 63rd" run by "Susan Davis who sent me to a group sex party the owner, her boyfriend Jeffrey was hosting. There were two other girls my age or younger."
This testimony describes: (1) An escort service physically located near Epstein's townhouse used as a trafficking conduit, (2) Multiple underage girls present at the same event, (3) A named operator ("Susan Davis") running the service, (4) Direct connection between the escort service and Epstein as "the owner, her boyfriend."
Police evidence: Palm Beach police found "two hidden cameras" — specifically two covert cameras hidden inside clocks and a camera behind Epstein's desk — along with "photographs of underage girls on a computer" during their search (EFTA00601091, EFTA00264995; Palm Beach PD Probable Cause Affidavit).
Evidence removal: By a later search, "most of Epstein's computer hard drives, surveillance cameras and videos had been removed from the house, leaving loose, dangling wires" (EFTA00798522). Separately: "surveillance cameras were found, but they were disconnected and the videotapes were gone" (EFTA00191264).
Victim testimony: A victim stated that "Mr Epstein's residences in Florida and New York had surveillance cameras that taped the sex sessions and taped [victim] even in the bathroom" (EFTA00653926). The same statement adds that "Ms Maxwell and Mr Epstein arranged for Ehud Barak to have sex with several girls."
OPR finding: The DOJ's own Office of Professional Responsibility draft included: "investigators were aware Epstein used hidden cameras in his New York residence to record his sexual encounters" (EFTA00077309).
Epstein himself: In a December 2010 email, Epstein asked: "could/should we get some digital recording device? i have a couple" (EFTA01829129) — confirming he possessed recording devices.
Blackmail purpose: Court documents state: "Epstein installed concealed cameras in numerous places on his properties to allegedly record sexual activity with underage girls by prominent people for criminal purposes such as blackmail" (EFTA00261990).
The FBI CID summary's claim that "searches did not reveal any cameras" is contradicted by Palm Beach police finding two hidden cameras, the OPR's own finding that investigators knew about hidden cameras, victim testimony about being recorded, and physical evidence that cameras were removed before later searches ("loose, dangling wires"). This contradiction raises serious questions about the completeness of the FBI's 2024 review.
Maxwell trial defense cross-examination preparation (EFTA00093476) reveals a victim testified that clocks in the massage room contained hidden cameras. The defense strategy was to use this claim to undermine the victim's overall credibility:
"You are certain that the clocks in the massage room had cameras, right?
So if no camera in clocks, your memory can't be trusted, right?"
This victim began visiting Epstein's Palm Beach home at age 14 and testified to over 100 visits. Her testimony about cameras in clocks corroborates:
The victim diary entry reads: "Mr. Conway Mr. vradenberg and Bill s. All of them who dont care if this happens!" This naming occurs in the same diary that separately accuses AOL of facilitating victim targeting: "That company does not protect kids! They use it to find us!"
George Vradenburg was chief counsel at America Online — the same company the victim accused. Other AOL executives named in the same diary: Steve Case (AOL founder), Jim Kimsey (AOL co-founder), and Ted Leonsis (AOL executive, accused of "bring a friend and make a video").
Vradenburg is a Council on Foreign Relations member and Washington DC philanthropist (chairman of the Phillips Collection board). His DC location is consistent with the Joe Robert McLean mansion trafficking site. The diary spelling "Vradenberg" is a phonetic approximation of the actual surname "Vradenburg" — consistent with a victim hearing rather than reading the name.
A Notice of Claim filed against the FBI states: "Maxwell actively put together what she called a 'modeling book' containing photographs of young girls and boys in various stages of undress. Maxwell kept the 'modeling book' in Epstein's safe." (EFTA00143419).
The same filing documents Maxwell's street recruiting: "Maxwell would direct the driver to stop the car so that she could 'go get girls' for Epstein."
When a victim confronted them about stolen photographs (including images of her then-underage partially dressed sister), Epstein and Maxwell "refused, threatening to hurt her, hurt her family, and burn all of her artwork. They told her they were connected to important people and bad things would happen to her."
As retaliation, when the victim returned to New York, "her apartment had been painted black and most of her furniture was missing". The victim had reported the conspiracy to the FBI on August 29, 1996 — the FBI "flatly ignored" it for nearly 25 years.
Jan 2010: Boris Nikolic emailed Epstein (subject: "drugs") with link to "300 most beautiful Croatian women." Epstein replied: "jes staley jpm" - suggesting Staley was relevant to the discussion about attractive women.
Ekaterina Norton, young Russian-born UBS banker (CV in Epstein's files), introduced Jan-March 2015. Feb 18: "Katerina Norton might join the Jes Staley appointment today at 6:30" - after Barak at 5:15. Jan 23: Norton at 7pm, Staley at 5pm. March 25: dinner with Woody Allen, Soon Yi, Blaine, Norton. Epstein asked Norton about her romantic history - matchmaker pattern.
Court orders from December 2019 and January 2020 authorized pen register and trap-and-trace surveillance on a T-Mobile phone number subscribed to "Terramar Project" — Maxwell's ocean conservation nonprofit. The orders were issued in connection with an investigation of possible violations of 18 U.S.C. § 1591 (sex trafficking).
A January 2005 New York Post article reports that Jeffrey Epstein "has also met with Elite's Gerald Marie" as part of his efforts to acquire modeling agencies. The article notes Epstein "tried to buy Elite Models when the bankrupt agency was auctioned off" and had previously "was talking to Karin Models owner Jean-Luc Brunel about doing a deal." Gerald Marie was the European head of Elite Model Management. He was later accused of sexual assault by multiple models including Carré Otis and has been under investigation in France. This places Epstein in contact with two major figures in the modeling industry accused of trafficking: Brunel (MC2) and Marie (Elite).
October 2012: "Jeffrey, i just ordered an invitation for you for tonight for Elite Model Look. Do you want to go with me? It will be fun !!!" Epstein: "i am in new york". Multiple emails show Epstein was regularly invited to modeling competitions where young girls were scouted.
Public statement by victim at Epstein's bail hearing before Judge Richard M. Berman:
"He's a scary person to have walking the streets," said the victim, who was assaulted at age 14.
Epstein emails an associate: "said you had pretty friend"
The associate responds with a recruitment assessment, rejecting the target: "She is not my friend it was second time I saw her. I don't think she work for us. First, her age, too young, she is 16 or 17. Second, she like [redacted] moved here and lives w her family doesn't suffer for money I checked already"
This email reveals: (1) Epstein directly requesting associates to recruit "pretty" women, (2) The associate had already screened the girl's background (family situation, financial vulnerability), (3) Age "16 or 17" was described as "too young" for practical reasons — not moral concern, (4) Financial vulnerability ("suffer for money") was a key recruitment criterion, (5) The phrase "work for us" implies an organized operation.
Epstein emails David Ross (October 1, 2009): "roman polanski s atmy are coming to see me"
He then proposes: "I might want to fund an exhibition entitled 'statutory'.. girls and boys ages 14 - 25.. where they look nothing like their true ages"
Describes: "Juvenile mug shots, photoshop, makeup. some people go to prison because they can't tell true age" — calling it "controversial. fun. maybe it should be a web page, with hits, tallied"
While meeting with a convicted child rapist's legal team, Epstein simultaneously conceived an "art project" designed to normalize the idea that minors look older — effectively constructing a public defense for statutory rape. This is a registered sex offender proposing to collect and display images of 14-year-olds under the guise of art.
A source reported that Epstein has "contacts in Moscow who provide matchmaking services" for "orgy island" and the Manhattan townhouse.
"When the Russian girls arrive in the city, they already have Jeffrey's phone number."
This corroborates the documented Aeroflot pipeline (3,005 documents mentioning Aeroflot), Karyna Shuliak's Minsk-Moscow-New York travel pattern, and Julia Santos's Moscow recruitment activities ("Meeting Anna at 330pm Moscow time!"). It describes an organized, international sex trafficking infrastructure.
A 100-page FBI Tactical Intelligence Report investigated a person whose name was redacted throughout — except one instance where "Vicker's" (possessive form) survived the redaction. The FBI investigated whether this person:
"How did [REDACTED] recruit minors?" · "Did [REDACTED] engage in sex acts with Epstein and minors?" · Whether "Ghislaine Maxwell taught this person how to work for Epstein"
Key details: received $20,000 wire from Epstein (April 2014) and $71,386 (June 2014). Had 29 flights on Epstein's aircraft (N909JE and N908JE) and 119 TECS travel records (2001-2010). Regular flights to St. Thomas (near Epstein's island) and West Palm Beach. A "Silent Hit" was placed to track international travel.
The same document reveals Maxwell had $200,979,535.93 across 469 transactions (2003-2019), owned a registered Glock 19 in NYC, and operated helicopter N722JE (Sikorsky S-76C) registered to Hyperion Air LLC, St. Thomas, USVI.
Pozhidaeva (svetlanapo314@gmail.com) forwarded an email from Michele Civelli to Epstein describing an "outstanding model" — directly showing her role as a talent scout funneling women to Epstein.
Payment records from Epstein financial manager Richard Kahn show a $4,380 refund from $5,000 that was "mistakenly withheld from your check." The payment involves MC2 model agency (Jean-Luc Brunel's operation, the primary vehicle for trafficking victims from international modeling competitions).
Pozhidaeva wrote to Joshua Fink: "you asked me to violate a basic conviction of mine and have an abortion. your mother said it would be in your best interest if i did. you now ask why you should be ashamed?" In a separate email, Fink pressured her: "why wait? Why have this heavy weight linger over both of our shoulders? Why not get it done and move on" — a pattern consistent with Epstein's documented forced abortions on trafficking victims.
Rodriguez describes Ghislaine Maxwell's recruitment role: "She would go to the former eastern countries in Europe and find girls for everything."
On Ehud Barak: Rodriguez describes the former Israeli PM arriving by Gulf Stream — "The Secret Service was there a couple of nights" — and notes that Barak's security detail "were all attracted by the girls".
On Alan Dershowitz: Rodriguez describes him at the house: "He drank wine... Where did he sit? By the pool? Where's the girl?"
On Leon Black: "Leon Black used to call the house. The owner of Apollo Management."
Charlie Palmer — NY chef who "knows what's going on in-house"
After girls visited, staff found: "the disarray, the vibrators, creamers on the floor... there's no massage there." Cleaners "would find condoms" throughout the house. The safe held $30,000-$40,000 cash at all times, and there was a handgun in the house.
Rodriguez also names David Copperfield as performing tricks at the house with girls present, and Eva Anderson (Dubin) as "former model and mother of the naked picture."
Conchita Sarnoff, a journalist and anti-trafficking campaigner, repeatedly contacted law enforcement about Epstein's activities. An FBI summary notes: "Sarnoff recently began calling FBI Miami to again make these allegations. It is my understanding that FBI has told Sarnoff that if her 'source' wants to come forward..."
Another email confirms: "Ms. Sarnoff has called former U.S. Attorney Acosta with some information. Can we all talk on Monday?"
A further memo notes: "Ms. Sarnoff also has reached out to the FBI in DC, and they intend to say simply that the matter remains open."
Epstein's response to her reporting was to try to discredit her. He emailed someone: "If you see Tina Brown, tell her Sarnoff is reckless, and that she knew what she wrote was false" — trying to get media figure Tina Brown to dismiss Sarnoff's reporting.
Santos worked alongside Lesley Groff, Bella Klein, and Valdson Cotrin. She coordinated Lawrence Krauss's Paris visit with Epstein's driver.
Epstein's scheduler Lesley Groff coordinated visits with Ehnbom's network:
"Might you be available to come see Jeffrey? Perhaps with some BBB's?"
The casual request for Ehnbom to bring "some BBB's" (Best & Brightest women) demonstrates the routine nature of this recruitment operation.
In August 2010, during Epstein's probation period, emails reveal Epstein coordinating travel for women to accompany Henry Jarecki to Ibiza on Jarecki's private plane.
August 6, 2010 (EFTA01816504): Epstein to Jarecki: "M__, and ben will be traveling to ibiza with you.. her number ___"
August 7, 2010 (EFTA01815961): Jarecki requests: "I need names addresses date of birth, passport numbers and date of expiration... they need to reach me and find out time of wheels up and location of plan[e]." Epstein replies: "henry, do you need ___ and bens passport info.? i think so." Departure from White Plains airport at 7:45. Epstein forwards to the women: "DONOT BE LATE"
This demonstrates Epstein acting as a broker for women traveling with Jarecki internationally — providing their personal information and coordinating logistics. The pattern mirrors the broader trafficking infrastructure where Epstein arranged for women to travel with wealthy associates.
On December 26, 2002, Ghislaine Maxwell sent Levine a photo attachment. Levine replied: "Beauty and the beast..."
The nature of the photo is unknown. This predates Epstein's 2005 investigation. The phrase connects to the broader Disney princess code name pattern documented elsewhere — "Beauty and the Beast" appears as a recurring code in Epstein's network.
EFTA00617222 reveals Plan D, LLC (USVI entity) held Epstein's aircraft fleet:
Plan D received $30.5M from BV70 LLC (Leon Black) and was the entity Epstein personally guaranteed. The same entity holding the aircraft used for documented victim transport also received Leon Black's money — tightening the link between Black's payments and the trafficking infrastructure.
Swedish businesswoman Barbro Ehnbom ran Barbro's Best & Brightest (BBB), a network of 150 young professional women (EFTA00617478): 'created in 2001...to promote future women leaders in Swedish and International business.' Members enjoy 'unique access to the so-called Friends, who consists of an extensive list of global contacts which Ms. Ehnbom has acquired.' All members 'vetted by her.'
Critically, in a September 2017 email (EFTA01021462) discussing Hurricane Irma's damage to Epstein's island, Ehnbom wrote: 'lots to tell you about your BBB and Sweden!' — the use of 'your' confirms Epstein's ownership or sponsorship of this women's network.
Ehnbom actively networked for Epstein, asking about the 'name of nobel prize friend of JE at Columbia?' (EFTA00403031) and following up on contacts like Bob Goldsamt (EFTA00378578). She also referenced Swedish royals ('princess Sofia had a second son'), suggesting access to elite Scandinavian circles.
1,026 documents show sustained relationship from 2012-2017. Ehnbom served as Chairman of the Swedish-American Life Science Summit.
Patricia Neville, a Wilhelmina model (her email signature: "Patricia Neville Willielmina Models NY" — EFTA02440730), maintained a direct personal relationship with Epstein from at least 2009 through 2016 (81 documents). During Epstein's prison work-release period, he asked her (EFTA01827420):
"please, send photos.. hoepfully, sexy ones"
Epstein forwarded Neville's personal emails to "Gmax" (Ghislaine Maxwell) (EFTA00902321) and separately to Eva Dubin (EFTA00902323). She met Epstein in Fairfield, Iowa (home of Maharishi University/TM community) (EFTA02008317). Her appointments at Epstein's house were scheduled on the same day as Gov. Richardson, Michael Wolff, Todd Meister, and Dan Ariely (EFTA01898003). On the prison mail list during 2008-09 incarceration (EFTA00306074).
Barbro Ehnbom ran “Barbro's Best & Brightest” (BBB) — a curated network of up to 150 young Swedish professional women, primarily Stockholm School of Economics graduates — and the “Female Economist of the Year” (FEOY) scholarship. Epstein was the primary financial sponsor, providing annual checks of at least $25,000–$30,000 through his foundation. The corpus contains 1,029 documents mentioning Ehnbom and 98 scheduling entries for “Appt w/Barbro” spanning 2005–2017.
In May 2009, Ehnbom emailed Epstein the photos and CVs of all four FEOY finalists with the note: “I think [redacted] would be quite perfect for you…but, I am thinking for you! Did you like young [name] that I sent you last week?” (EFTA00776427). In August 2013, Epstein directly requested “cv and photos please!” from Ehnbom (EFTA01961127). Epstein referred to women by their source rather than name: “barbro girl” (EFTA00384735).
In March 2012, Ehnbom's assistant listed 10 BBB women coming for a gathering at Epstein's home: “We would love to start with a little round tour of his fantastic home” (EFTA00417967). In September 2014, Lesley Groff asked Ehnbom: “might you be available to come see Jeffrey? perhaps with some BBB's?” (EFTA02098244). Ehnbom regularly offered multiple women: “YOUNG ANNA IS IN MY APT SUPER SMART…SHE WANTS TO MEET YOU VERY MUCH” alongside her niece Hedvig and an actress (EFTA00715596).
The pipeline connected to Epstein's Harvard network: BBB member Anna Dreber visited Epstein in 2004 and subsequently became a research scientist at Martin Nowak's Program for Evolutionary Dynamics — the program Epstein funded with $6.5M. Epstein wrote: “of course i remember… that was ana's intro to the good life” (EFTA00738130). When Stockholm School of Economics severed ties in 2015, Ehnbom lost her scholarship, office, and honorary doctorate (EFTA02083868).
Former Colombian President Andrés Pastrana Arango appears in depositions where the witness is asked directly: "Do you know President Andres Pastrana?" followed by "Do you know him as somebody who has had sex with underage minor females brought to him by Jeffrey Epstein?" The deponent refused to answer both questions (EFTA00182418, EFTA00159250).
These questions appear in a sequence asking about Epstein's sex trafficking operation — including questions about sex slaves on flights, Bill Clinton on flight logs, Emmy Taylor as Maxwell's "sex slave," and whether victims were made to "dress as if they're 11 or 12." Ehud Barak is asked about in the same deposition sequence.
Separately, FedEx records (EFTA00218394) show a package sent from Epstein's office (shipped by Andrea Mitrovich) to "ANDRES PASTRANA" in Madrid, Spain on April 21, 2003 via FedEx International Economy.
In March 2003, Pastrana flew on Epstein's plane to Cuba at Fidel Castro's invitation (EFTA00129169, EFTA00261990). Text messages in the EFTA corpus reference someone named "Danny from Miami" who allegedly "procured girls in Cuba for Glenn and Epstein" in connection with this trip. The article notes that Cuba has a severe child sex tourism problem and that Epstein was "likely considering relocating to Cuba in order to escape U.S. law enforcement" at the time.
Natalia "Naya" Shavkunova, a casting director, was recommended to Jeffrey Epstein by Kira Dikhtyar in March 2016 as someone who "casts 15 girls a day for music videos" and "knows all the girls" (EFTA00643691). Dikhtyar described her as a "Great casting director for you!!!" (EFTA00830533), language consistent with Epstein's documented recruitment of young women through modeling and entertainment industry contacts.
Shavkunova was then given multiple appointments at Epstein's 9 East 71st Street townhouse (EFTA00328832, EFTA00293621, EFTA00328733) and had flights arranged for her through American Express Centurion Travel Service at Epstein's expense (EFTA00303504, EFTA00303507, EFTA00303510). The AmEx records show itineraries booked under "SHAVKUNOVA/NATALIA" with multiple ticket changes and routing modifications.
Her appointments appear in Epstein's calendar alongside meetings with Ehud Barak, Leon Black, Michael Wolff, and Penny Baird (EFTA00293621, EFTA00328733), placing her as an active part of Epstein's network as late as March 2016. The pattern of a casting director with access to young women being courted, flown in, and given regular appointments at Epstein's residence mirrors documented procurement patterns.
Adriana Ross (born Adriana Mucinska), a Polish former model who became Epstein's assistant in Palm Beach, was one of four co-conspirators named in the 2007 Non-Prosecution Agreement and granted federal immunity. FBI grand jury testimony (EFTA00223910, Feb 2007) confirms her role in contacting victims: "Adriana Mucinska would also contact the girls via their cell phone" — arranging so-called massage appointments alongside Epstein's primary scheduler.
Court documents describe how Ross "removed computer drives and other electronic equipment from Epstein's Florida mansion before Palm Beach Police searched the home" as part of their investigation (EFTA00264995) — constituting evidence destruction and obstruction of justice.
A legal filing (EFTA01191873) states: "Extensive investigation demonstrated that [she] participated in several of the sex acts with underage girls (including Jane Doe 1) and that [she] and Adrianna Mucinska were heavily involved in procuring underage girls for Epstein to sexually abuse." Despite this documented participation in trafficking and obstruction, Ross received full immunity under the NPA and faced no criminal charges.
Abi Schwinck, a booker at MC2 Model Management's New York office (6 West 14th Street), served as the operational link between convicted sex trafficker Jean-Luc Brunel and Jeffrey Epstein. She operated a three-way photo pipeline: Brunel directed Schwinck to photograph models, Schwinck forwarded photos to Epstein's personal email, and Epstein followed up independently (EFTA00626496).
Schwinck told Brunel: "Will send to you and Jeffery right away — He has been asking as well" (EFTA00626496), confirming Epstein independently pressured for model photographs. She sent three zip files of images of "IRINA" ([Victim Name Redacted]) to Epstein (EFTA00642027, EFTA00642030, EFTA00642033, June 2012). Brunel described Irina as "the little russian girl that will be with Anthony" (EFTA01885240).
Epstein forwarded Celina/Ibra photo shoots received from Schwinck to Eva Dubin at evadubin@hotmail.com (EFTA00913853, EFTA00913861) — raising questions about why Dubin received model portfolio images from Epstein's MC2 pipeline. When model Victoria left MC2 in January 2015 due to the Epstein press scandal, Schwinck forwarded agent Erik Bechtol's notification (EFTA00599855), suggesting awareness of reputational risk.
Gianni Serazzi, Italian modeling executive who owned 2Morrow Model Management (Milan) and was a former business partner of John Casablancas at Starsystem, was introduced to Epstein by convicted sex trafficker Jean-Luc Brunel in February 2014 (EFTA01936091). Over five years (2014-2019), Serazzi sought increasingly large investments: $4M EUR at 10% interest (EFTA00847931, May 2015), then $15-20M EUR to build a "leading global modeling reality" across Milan, Paris, London, New York, and China (Oct 2018).
Epstein proposed that Svetlana Pozhidaeva ("Jeffrey Epstein Right Hand") invest 800K EUR for 50% of the agency (EFTA00847931). He also referred a "beautiful girl" from Vilnius, Lithuania to Serazzi's agency (July 2015), with her flight arranged by Lesley Groff and hotel booked. Serazzi responded: "Please feel free to always give me girls" (EFTA00847931).
Serazzi met Epstein at his Paris apartment, 22 avenue Foch, apt 2DD (EFTA00352367). His schedule entries appear alongside Leon Black meetings (EFTA00285585). Mysterious "colored donuts" calendar entries appear weeks before Epstein's arrest (EFTA00497911, EFTA00498316). The Casablancas-Starsystem connection links Serazzi to the same modeling world that Brunel exploited for trafficking.
Dr. Samuel Klagsbrun, a New York City psychiatrist at 595 Madison Avenue, treated at least two women in Epstein's orbit — "Dana" and "Jen" — with Epstein paying all bills and directing medication choices. Billing records show $400/session, five sessions in July 2011, with diagnosis "Adjustment Disorder with Anxiety (309.24)" and patient address at 301 East 66th Street — an Epstein-controlled apartment (EFTA01118550).
Epstein personally chose psychiatric medications for these women: "klagburn for zoloft, prozac, ativan? .. should we try" (EFTA00778636, Sept 2010). Bookkeeper Bella Klein sought authorization: "Do I have your permission to pay Dr. Klagsbrun bill for Jen visits in the amount of $2,000?" Epstein: "Yes." (EFTA00918777). In another instance, Epstein told a woman: "just go to him, ill pay, make sure he gives you a prescription for a couple of months" (EFTA00922372).
When "Dana" couldn't get an appointment, Epstein contacted Henry Jarecki: "can you put in a word to sam, its important." Jarecki replied: "He'll do what I ask." (EFTA01828381, June 2009). This reveals Jarecki had leverage over Klagsbrun and Epstein used it. The pattern — a financier controlling his associates' psychiatric care, choosing their medications, and paying their therapist — is consistent with coercive control of trafficking victims.
Natalya Malyshev was named as a defendant in Jane Doe 43 v. Epstein (No. 117-cv-00616, S.D.N.Y. 2017) alongside Ghislaine Maxwell, Sarah Kellen, and Lesley Groff. Court filings state she "was working to recruit young females for Epstein for sex" and "reported to her superiors, Defendants Kellen, Groff and Maxwell, and was paid for her recruitment."
Malyshev recruited the plaintiff (a South African citizen) by describing Epstein as a "wealthy philanthropist who regularly used his wealth, influence and connections to help financially disadvantaged young women." The victim was then sent to South Africa "to recruit aspiring female models supposedly for Defendant Epstein to use as an alleged personal assistant but would, instead, be forced into sexual servitude."
Emails show Malyshev actively sourcing for Epstein: "I just found a great stream of good stuff for you" with a photo attachment (EFTA00752360, Nov 2010). Epstein directed: "give me a number to call" — she responded "Forever grateful." After the civil lawsuit, Malyshev could not be located for service — she effectively disappeared. The SDNY prosecution team eventually coordinated LA interviews near her attorney's office in February 2020 (EFTA00074466).
Nadia Bjorlin, American actress (Days of Our Lives), appears on Epstein's flight logs on March 31, 2001 flying from Santa Fe (Zorro Ranch) to Palm Beach alongside Virginia Roberts (then underage), Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein, Henry Jarecki, and Marvin Minsky.
Virginia Giuffre described Bjorlin as a "Yugoslavian model turned aspiring actress" who was "willing to lend her body to Jeffrey and those he sent her to, for the sake of keeping a lifestyle she wanted" (courtlistener depositions). Bjorlin was named in discovery requests alongside Emmy Taylor, Eva and Glenn Dubin, Alan Dershowitz, Jean-Luc Brunel, Sarah Kellen, and Nadia Marcinkova.
The SDNY Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force coordinated three days of Los Angeles interviews (February 26-28, 2020) near Bjorlin's attorney's office (EFTA00074466, EFTA00099174). Protective order materials "From the Bjorlin's" were produced in the Maxwell case under SDNY_GM Bates numbering (EFTA01340296), subject to the most restrictive paragraphs of the protective order.
Peter Listerman, a Russian model scout and self-described "matchmaker," was designated FBI Subject #12 on the numbered subject list of 90 individuals connected to the Epstein investigation (EFTA01248315). An FBI targeting document describes him as "Models matchmaker" (EFTA01682078).
Listerman was publicly described as "the world famous seller of young models to oligarchs" and is connected to Epstein's documented shift toward "importing his playmates from Russia." His role as a professional supplier of young women to wealthy men directly parallels the recruitment infrastructure that Epstein built through Jean-Luc Brunel's MC2, Kira Dikhtyar's casting network, and Naya Shavkunova's music video pipeline.
Listerman's FBI subject designation indicates he was under active investigation as part of the Epstein trafficking probe, not merely a peripheral contact.
Zlata Rybarova, a Czech woman, maintained a sexual relationship with Jeffrey Epstein documented across 22+ emails (2013-2018). She wrote to Epstein: "how have you been after our naked wet pool fun talk :)" and "I was thinking I would love to take her to that swinger party you told us about... as surprise :)" — offering friends "as exchange for REAL LOVE" (EFTA00657593).
Epstein brokered Rybarova to Jonathan Farkas (son of Andrew Farkas). When Farkas failed to follow up, she complained to Epstein: "Your friend Jonathan Farkas still didnt write me :( Can you please remind him of me?" (EFTA00706768). Another Czech woman wrote to Epstein: "i hope zlata was cool ;) oh well I hope I'm still # Czech number 1" (EFTA00628068, April 2013), revealing competition among Czech women for Epstein's attention and a hierarchy of access.
Rybarova brought her friend Liga to Epstein's Palm Beach property: "Me and Liga are going to West Palm" (EFTA01951051, Oct 2013). She was in Epstein's Skype contacts as "Zlata Rybafova" (EFTA00512483). The pattern — sexual access, brokering to associates, bringing friends as offerings — mirrors documented procurement behavior.
Lasma Kuhtarska, a Latvian national born April 30, 1995 (passport LV4601764), traveled repeatedly from Riga and Barcelona to Epstein's properties in Miami, New York, and Paris during 2016-2017 — all on Epstein's American Express Centurion card.
Jeffrey Epstein personally directed her travel in a July 2017 email: "lasma from riga to paris sunday night. then to barcelona tues night" (EFTA02217416). In December 2016, Lesley Groff instructed AmEx: "Jeffrey wants her to fly direct" Barcelona to Miami, January 6-10 (EFTA02199773). The bookings were executed by AmEx Centurion agent Natalia Molotkova at Epstein's expense.
Kuhtarska was 21-22 during these documented travels. The pattern — a young Eastern European woman whose international travel is personally directed by Epstein, paid for by Epstein, and routed through his staff — is consistent with documented trafficking infrastructure. Her surname does not appear in the EFTA corpus through OCR extraction, meaning she was identified through non-OCR sources.
Indian billionaire Anil Ambani, chairman of Reliance Group, was connected to Epstein through Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, seeking White House access. In March 2017, Epstein suggested "a tall Swedish blonde woman, to make fun to visit" — Ambani responded: "Arrange that" (documented in scheduling emails).
Ambani visited Epstein's Manhattan townhouse on the day Indian PM Narendra Modi secured re-election in 2019, suggesting the political dimension of the relationship was active through Epstein's final months. Epstein told Steve Bannon that a Modi representative claimed limited access to the US administration.
The "arrange that" response to an offer of a woman is particularly significant given Epstein's documented pattern of using women as inducements for maintaining business and political relationships. The exchange parallels other documented instances where Epstein offered female companionship as part of relationship management.
An email chain from July 2014 (EFTA00366629) captures James Meiskin writing directly to Epstein about rescheduling a meeting with Dr. Daniel Rosenberg and David Carter for a "biotech opportunity." In the same message, Meiskin casually offers:
"I also have a few stunning girls to bring over drinks when your next available."
This email is notable for its seamless blending of legitimate business discussion with the offer to provide young women — a pattern documented throughout Epstein's operation.
Rosenberg himself had pitched Epstein a synagogue investment at 555 West End Avenue ('The Beis'), noting Epstein's "Israel chalkboard in the dining room" (EFTA00717315). He was on the prison mail list (EFTA00306074) and had multiple scheduled meetings at Epstein's residence alongside Steve Cantor and Archana Pinnapureddy (EFTA00635488).
Ekaterina Norton, a Moscow-born UBS Associate Director (First Class BSc from Warwick), was introduced into Epstein's circle in January 2015 at age ~27. Her full CV was found in Epstein's files (EFTA01091381).
Over three months (Jan-Mar 2015), Epstein personally cultivated her through frequent emails, private meetings, and introductions to powerful men:
Epstein gave Norton personal directives: "go to the mount sinai volunteer center and register" (EFTA00865260), "do some resercah on the dubin breast center" (EFTA00865566). Staff confused her with Katya Gusarova — "is this Katya: Gusarova? or Ekaterina Norton" (EFTA00866205) — indicating a pattern of cycling young Russian women through Epstein's circle.
On December 29, 2017, Lesley Groff emailed building manager Leo Loking about Epstein's guest apartment 10-B in his NYC apartment complex:
"Leo, give them an extra 30 min and go at 11am. Th makes m and dad left and are at work but there are 3 teenage girls there. Let them get out!"
Loking responded at 9:56 PM: "10-B is ready for the next guest."
Apartment 10-B was one of several units in Epstein's NYC building operated as rotating guest accommodations. Pre-printed welcome cards (EFTA00315184–EFTA00315192) were prepared with door codes, WiFi passwords, and Lesley Groff's cell phone as the contact — a hotel-style operation run through Epstein's office. Other apartments in the complex included 10-N, 11-P, and 8-A, all cleaned by Loking on a weekly schedule coordinated by Karyna Shuliak (EFTA00564404).
Groff described Loking as "a representative from our office" (EFTA00318111) — formally part of Epstein's organization. Loking owned ADL Cleaning Services and was bequeathed $500,000 in Epstein's will (EFTA00098341).
On the same day (Dec 29, 2017), Epstein's staff sent a French citizen a plane ticket with explicit instructions: "here is your ticket you can show customs if need be...we will cancel this ticket prior to departure date and receive full refund! :)" (EFTA00465926) — documenting the creation of fake travel documentation for immigration purposes, with Bella Klein CC'd.
A trove of 468+ emails reveals that Celina Dubin — daughter of Glenn and Eva Dubin — had Jeffrey Epstein saved in her BlackBerry contacts as "Uncle F Jeffrey Epstein". These emails span 2010-2011, when Celina was approximately 11-13 years old, and Epstein was a registered sex offender (convicted 2008). The exchanges are intimate and casual:
Epstein to Celina: "what happened to ice cream?"
Celina: "We didn't end up going! You can come for breakfast if you want?"
(EFTA00695166, April 2011)
Epstein to Celina: "did you like"
Celina: "I just ate some of the coconut one. Its my favorite"
(EFTA00902125, January 2011)
Celina: "By the way, I started physics yesterday and I love it!!!!"
Epstein: "great, the thinking is that to understand biology, you must understand chemistry,
to understand chemistry you must understand physics. and to understand physics you must understand
mathematics." (EFTA00756819, September 2010)
In the same email thread, Celina declines a visit because she has school and a soccer game in Westchester, and Epstein writes: "I did not want to get anyone /maya upset" — referencing Celina's younger sister Maya Dubin.
Epstein to Celina: "got you sweatshirt and shorts. from harvard"
Celina: "Yay!!! Will you send it to the house?"
(EFTA00695169, April 2011)
The emails are part of a broader pattern of grooming behavior facilitated by Epstein's staff and enabled by both parents:
Both Glenn and Eva Dubin actively facilitated this access. Eva forwarded the Brunel photo shoot confirmation. Eva regularly requested Epstein's drivers for Celina's transportation. Glenn brought Celina to dinners at Epstein's home with Woody Allen and Soon-Yi (EFTA00307013). Meanwhile, Eva was simultaneously supplying Epstein with controlled substances (Adderall — EFTA00942774), serving as his medical gatekeeper at Mount Sinai, and remained named trustee of the 2017 Epstein Trust.
This continued after Epstein's 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor for prostitution and while he was a registered Level 3 sex offender. USVI prosecutors subsequently subpoenaed "all documents and communications related to any of your three children, Maye, Celina or Jordan, which also relate in any way to Jeffrey Epstein" (EFTA00149112). Reports state Epstein "openly declared his plans to marry Celina Dubin" and developed "an especially close relationship when Celina was 12."
An 81-page handwritten journal (EFTA02731260, Dataset 12) written by a victim during residential treatment at a Florida facility in May–July 2012 provides contemporaneous documentation of trafficking by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
The victim, an autistic mother from Virginia, writes repeatedly about her trauma. She names Jeffrey and Ghislaine directly throughout the journal, describing:
The victim was afraid to name Epstein and Maxwell to staff due to Florida mandatory reporting: "I cannot tell her the names because she's staff." She strategically disclosed to a priest via confessional privilege: "A priest! I planned that out so well. He couldn't talk or tell."
Multiple people at the facility — including counselors Miss Erin and Carrie — believed Ghislaine was directly culpable. The victim wrote: "I don't know if Ghislaine should be in there. [Redacted] and Miss Erin thinks so, Carrie thinks so but what am I missing?"
A poem published in the facility newsletter under the victim's name reads: "I don't have to use my body to substitute each spoken word / My voice will be my power / One that will demand to be heard."
The victim eventually disclosed everything to Miss Erin, who gave her a bracelet as a safety symbol and encouraged her to write about the trauma. Three heavily redacted lines on page 57 appear to be the actual trauma narrative, followed by: "It's a horror story that I survived. Why was I allowed to survive? Am I a monster?"
In June 2013 (EFTA00655560), Epstein's staff coordinated travel for a young woman to Rome. Teodorani's office provided car service from the train station, hotel arrangements at Hotel La Lunetta, dinner reservations, and a full chauffeur service for the duration of her stay.
A staff member wrote to Epstein: "This is so so nice. The driver makes a gigantic difference for these girls." Epstein had instructed: "no need to tell you to keep a close contact and coordinate celina trip to the restaurant on the beach."
In a separate email the same month (EFTA00873660), Teodorani — using his CNH Industrial corporate email — corresponded directly with Epstein about his "goddaughter" visiting Rome for shopping.
The complete 205-page federal prosecution memorandum for Operation Leap Year, addressed to U.S. Attorney R. Alexander Acosta and First Assistant Jeff Sloman, seeking approval for a 60-count federal indictment of Jeffrey Epstein. This indictment was never filed due to the Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA). Key contents:
This document demonstrates the strength of the evidence the government possessed and the scope of the case that was abandoned in favor of the NPA.
In January 2012, Epstein sent Faith Kates (owner of Next Management LLC) a Google Images link of a young Swedish model named Matilda Jansson. Kates responded: "Go to mc2 and put her name it trust me." This email directly links Next Management to Jean-Luc Brunel's MC2 Models — the agency identified as Epstein's primary recruitment pipeline.
This establishes that Kates was not merely a social acquaintance but was actively coordinating model placement with Epstein across competing agencies, including the one run by convicted co-conspirator Brunel. Combined with Epstein's secret offer to lend Kates million to buy out Golden Gate Capital's stake in Next Management (EFTA00863611, Feb 2015: "my name cannot be involved"), this reveals Epstein's hidden financial control over multiple modeling agencies simultaneously.
An 8-page FBI FD-302 interview (EFTA02857849, Aug 21, 2020) documents a Brazilian-born victim (DOB 12/2/1975) who was recruited through a woman named ANA and systematically trafficked to powerful men:
This is the second independent victim to describe being trafficked to George Mitchell at the Beverly Hills Hotel and Four Seasons DC, corroborating earlier testimony.
A 3-page FBI FD-302 interview (EFTA02857857, Jul 15, 2020) documents a Chilean-born victim (DOB 7/2/1986) recruited in her junior year of high school at age 16:
Attorneys Brad Edwards and Brittany Henderson were present during the interview.
A 16-page FBI Tactical Intelligence Report (EFTA02858465, Mar 13, 2020, case 50D-NY-3184048) documents FBI research into Suelyn Medeiros as a known associate and alleged victim of Peter Nygard:
This report was found in the Epstein EFTA corpus, indicating FBI cross-referencing between the Epstein (SDNY) and Nygard investigations.
A formal written contract titled "Agreement" (attachment: agreement_M+J.DOC) was emailed to Epstein on October 18, 2011 with the subject line "look what a beautiful agreement I made."
The contract — structured with legal clauses — defines the "Apprentice's" obligations to the "Beneficiary" (Jeffrey Edward Epstein, jeevacation@gmail.com):
The contract specifies that "compensation" is the Beneficiary "teaching her new things about adult life, emotional intelligence, interpersonal relations and sex" — classic grooming language framed as mentorship. The contract has unlimited duration (Clause 4) and strict confidentiality (Clause 5).
The email thread reveals Epstein coached the drafting: "as a lawyer, drafting contracts is basic.. draft a sample contract. I may will find beautiful girls." The sender responded with a list of services including "I can find beautiful women for you in Paris — I can strip down for you, make massages and all the things you like... I would love to get dirty in UN building in the huge General Assembly hall."
This is one of the most explicit documents in the EFTA corpus — a literal written agreement for sexual procurement with specified ethnic selection criteria.
A June 2017 email chain reveals Epstein arranged to send at least two women to Rixos Premium Belek in Antalya, Turkey for a 10-day "training programme" at the Land of Legends Spa. The chain involves four parties:
Epstein had signed reservation forms at Rixos Premium Belek previously. This exchange occurred well after Epstein's 2008 sex offender conviction and Florida registration. Deutsche Bank records show a ,200 wire to Sultan Bin Sulayem one month later (Jul 2017).
Fabrice Aidan, a United Nations official (aidan@un.org) and later International Adviser at the Edmond de Rothschild Group, responded to a direct request from Epstein to help a woman named "Svetlana" obtain a visa.
The email chain from November 27, 2012:
The casual, terse exchange suggests this was not an unusual request between them. Aidan's institutional access at the UN and his role as contact for the International Peace Institute (IPI) under Terje Rød-Larsen gave him diplomatic connections useful for visa facilitation.
Aidan appears in 271 documents across datasets 9–11. He was in Epstein's Mac AddressBook (EFTA00506602), coordinated logistics between Epstein and Rød-Larsen, arranged dinners at Epstein's Paris apartment, and attended an "IMPORTANT Dinner Party" at Epstein's townhouse alongside Ehud Barak, Rød-Larsen, Peter Attia, and the President of Mongolia (EFTA00338727, Sep 2015).
In an April 2013 email to Epstein (EFTA02010302), a woman in his orbit proposed bringing another woman to Little St. James island after an exam, writing:
"there is a possibility that she can come w me to the island after my exam and it would be better to speak to her there (because she wont have a choice only if she jumps to the water and swim away, lol) no but im seriously and she could start her 'training' there :)))) what do you think?"
The same email thread references "Karyna" being present and discusses scheduling a meeting at FAO Schwarz (59th and Fifth). The sender explicitly acknowledges that the island's isolation removes the target's ability to leave — framing this as an advantage. The word "training" in quotes mirrors language used in other recruitment contexts in the corpus.
This email is among 101 documents modified on the DOJ server on March 16, 2026 — all within a 2-minute window. The modifications reduced file sizes, consistent with PDF re-processing or additional redaction.
A series of emails from 2009-2012 — entirely post-conviction — documents a woman actively sourcing young women for Epstein in exchange for financial support. The relationship began through a Martha Graham Company dance grant funded by Epstein.
In September 2011, Epstein emailed asking "Any new Friend?" The woman responded (EFTA02003519):
"There are a couple girls I've recently met that I think you would like. I don't have their #s but should see them again at some point next week at work. If they are good fits for you, would it be possible to ask you for some help?"
In January 2011, the same woman tried to recruit a ballet dancer for "private sessions" with Epstein (EFTA01791918). The dancer asked if the sessions would be for someone named Jeffrey, said she knew someone who worked for him, and refused.
By September 2012 (EFTA00876896), the woman was arranging specific meetings: "She confirmed that tomorrow what time is best for you?" and "should i confirm 3:30 w her and give her your address?" She explicitly framed this as transactional: "I recently arranged to go to [location] for a few months and was wondering if you could help with yoga class cost in exchange for introducing you to my friends?"
The woman was scheduled at Epstein's home by Lesley Groff and used Epstein's "Jeffery Edwards" alias. She also referenced making money "from massage" through the Epstein-funded grant.
FBI FD-302 interview of interior designer Robert Couturier (Nov 17, 2010) reveals Epstein hired him to decorate his USVI island residence. Epstein requested a room with four beds decorated "for his girls" with colorful furnishings, saying the girls were "only interested in Facebook and MySpace." Couturier also observed nude photographs of young women aged 15-20 displayed in Epstein's Manhattan massage room.
Couturier told the FBI that a former Epstein associate (name redacted) confided: "I have seen him do horrific things" but did not elaborate. Couturier said she was now "too old for EPSTEIN even though she is in her 30s."
Despite the lucrative contract ($50,000 deposit), Couturier withdrew, stating his "conscience would not let him continue." Epstein then attempted to sue for the deposit; Couturier settled by returning $15,000.
The interview was conducted as part of the Alfredo Rodriguez obstruction case (72-MM-113327). A separate FBI memo notes Couturier "designed a bedroom in EPSTEIN's island residence with decor and furniture appropriate for teenage girls, with pink furnishings and bunk beds."
The GVI Second Amended Complaint reveals that Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn were not merely administrators of the Butterfly Trust — they were beneficiaries and authorized signatories on its checking account.
As signatories, they signed trust checks for a combined value of over $1,000,000 made out personally to young women, or their associated entities, who 'in some instances were not beneficiaries of the trust.'
This is separate from the FBI's identification of the Butterfly Trust as a 'conduit for money paid to female victims' (EFTA00037690). The fact that Indyke and Kahn personally benefited from the same trust they used to pay victims creates a direct financial conflict of interest and demonstrates their personal enrichment from the trafficking enterprise.
The GVI Second Amended Complaint alleges that Darren Indyke directly facilitated forced marriages among Epstein's victims to secure immigration status:
'She was forced into an arranged marriage to another victim that was facilitated by Defendant/Co-Executor Indyke to prevent the other victim from being deported. Indyke and a New York immigration lawyer retained by Epstein prepared the victim for communications with U.S. immigration officials almost immediately after the wedding.'
Indyke 'paid the immigration lawyer who applied for citizenship for the women and threatened at least one who indicated that she would seek a divorce.' He 'repeatedly tried to talk her out of a divorce and threatened that she would lose Epstein's and his associates' protection.'
From LSJE, LLC alone, Indyke and Kahn signed company checks totaling almost $300,000 to young women and to the immigration lawyer. Payments from accounts under Indyke's signatory authority totaling over $2,500,000 went to 'dozens of women with Eastern European surnames, purportedly for hotel expenses, tuition, and rent' and to the same immigration lawyer. Another $1,000,000+ from a second account followed the same pattern.
Emails from August 2013 reveal that Aviloop LLC — Nadia Marcinkova’s aviation company — was used to fabricate business income to satisfy U.S. immigration requirements for an E-2 investor visa.
Marcinkova explained the scheme directly to Epstein (EFTA00966384, Aug 4, 2013):
“Aviloop. As payment for services, to show income for the visa. It should have been done 2 months ago because they want bank statements for the last 3 months.”
She needed 00,000 wired to Aviloop to “satisfy the requirement that the E-2 enterprise generate income substantially above what would be considered a living.” She also mentioned needing “evidence that the E-2 investor has other sources of income… which could have been wired to a bank account in Slovakia.”
Epstein confirmed Richard Kahn’s involvement in the scheme (EFTA00966975, Aug 13, 2013):
“I said I was working with rich on showing income to aviloop. In trying to help.”
Marcinkova pressed: “You said you were working with Rich on the 100k wire options. What is the question delaying it?” She warned there was only ONE embassy appointment left on August 23.
The pattern continued for years. In November 2018 (EFTA01015397), Marcinkova requested 3,876, explaining: “Was going to wait till Dec but it would be better now for visa (better bank statements).” When asked which entity, she confirmed: “I think it’s Aviloop income.”
Kahn compiled a 93,649 expense ledger for Marcinkova (EFTA00876637) documenting wires from JEE and Butterfly Trust, flight school tuition, and Aviloop payments — noting “this does not include value of apartment or credit card activity.” Epstein confirmed an additional ~0K/year for rent on top.
This constitutes immigration fraud — fabricating business income to satisfy E-2 visa requirements — coordinated between Epstein, Kahn (his financial manager), and Marcinkova over at least 5 years (2013–2018).
A cluster of 29 emails from Epstein's personal account (jeevacation@gmail.com) dated August 30 – September 1, 2018 — just 10 months before his arrest — document a coercive exchange with an unidentified woman communicating from an Eastern European timezone (+03:00, replies partially in Cyrillic).
The emails reveal a clear quid pro quo pattern: Epstein repeatedly demanded explicit sexual videos via Dropbox, while the woman asked for help with a US visa and employment. Key dynamics:
This exchange demonstrates Epstein's coercive control pattern continued up to months before his July 2019 arrest, leveraging immigration status and economic dependency to extract sexual content. The DOJ redacted 97.5% of these emails in March 2026, blacking out nearly all visual content while the extracted text remained.
Elizabeth Stein's victim impact statement at Maxwell's sentencing describes recruitment through Les Wexner's retail empire:
The SDNY prosecution memo (EFTA00022456) documents a victim interview in which a victim (name redacted, over 18 at the time) describes being directed by Epstein to massage Harvey Weinstein at Epstein's Paris residence:
This documents a direct operational connection between Epstein and Weinstein — Epstein provided victims for Weinstein's use at Epstein's own property.
The SDNY prosecution memo (EFTA00022456) documents a victim interview describing two incidents in 2011-2012:
Epstein did not pay the victim for these massages but was paying for her massage school, creating financial dependency. This corroborates FBI call notes (EFTA02731488) documenting a third victim describing violent rape by Black.
The SDNY prosecution memo (EFTA00022456) documents a victim's account of being systematically "lent out" by Maxwell and Epstein to other men:
Prosecutors noted they were "in the process of obtaining the name of a lawyer who represents Prince Andrew" and planned to request an interview.
The SDNY prosecution memo (EFTA00022456) documents a victim who was recruited at approximately 13 or 14 by a high school friend:
The SDNY prosecution memo (EFTA00022456) documents Jean-Luc Brunel's role in Epstein's operation:
The SDNY prosecution memo (EFTA00022456) contains a second, independent victim account corroborating the Black and Staley findings:
Two victims, interviewed separately, describe identical patterns: Epstein directing them to massage Black and Staley, both men sexually assaulting them, and Epstein dismissing their complaints.
Carolyn testified at the Maxwell trial (doc 753):
A formal court order in Giuffre v. Maxwell (Doc 1097) explicitly lists all persons "whom Giuffre has testified she was sexually trafficked to by Epstein":
This is a judicial document acknowledging the scope of Giuffre's sworn testimony under oath. All named individuals have denied the allegations.
In her deposition (Giuffre v. Maxwell Doc 1090-att13), Virginia Giuffre was asked under oath:
Q: "When Ghislaine Maxwell used the words, 'Go give a massage to Bill Richardson,' where were you?"
A: "I was sent to New Mexico."
In a separate deposition excerpt (Doc 1090-att32), Giuffre testified Maxwell and Epstein "instructed me to go to George Mitchell, Jean Luc Brunel, Bill Richardson, another prince... Marvin Minsky."
Both Richardson and Mitchell are listed in Court Order 1097 among those Giuffre testified she was sexually trafficked to. Both denied the allegations.
JPMorgan's third-party complaint against its own former CEO Jes Staley (doe-v-jpmorgan Doc 59) contains extraordinary allegations from the bank itself:
Emails between Jes Staley and Jeffrey Epstein filed in court (doe-v-jpmorgan Doc 59-att2):
The "Snow White" / "Beauty and the Beast" exchange — referencing Disney characters in the context of Epstein providing young women — was characterized by plaintiffs as coded discussion of trafficking victims.
Plaintiffs in Doe v. JPMorgan allege that Highbridge Capital Management, a JPMorgan subsidiary, was directly involved in trafficking:
The USVI complaint details JPMorgan's role in funding Epstein's trafficking operation (2003-2013):
JPMorgan never filed a single SAR during the entire 2003-2013 period despite BSA obligations.
Two teenagers from Slovakia — identified as "models in NYC and friends of Jeffrey Epstein" — had JPMorgan accounts and credit cards opened in 2004 (usvi-v-jpmorgan Doc 221 ¶74):
JPMorgan opened bank accounts for young foreign women at Epstein's request with virtually no due diligence — a textbook trafficking indicator.
Court Order 1097's trafficking list has 3 redacted names (items j, k, l). Analysis of public court filings identifies one with high confidence:
Giuffre's deposition also references "a guy that owns a really large [French] hotel chain" and "another prince" she refused to name for safety reasons — these likely correspond to items k and l.
The USVI First Amended Complaint describes captivity on Little St. James:
The USVI's subpoena to Glen Dubin (Sept 2020) reveals the government's investigation targets:
The USVI's subpoena to Lesley Groff (Sept 2020) specifically requests documents about communications with a defined list that places Yulia Silinskaya in the inner circle:
"All documents reflecting communications with Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, Erika Kellerhals, Richard D. Kahn, Darren K. Indyke, Yulia Slinskaya, Adriana Ross, Sarah Kellen and/or Nadia Marcinkova."
This puts Silinskaya — a Russian national born 1991, whose passport, bank transfers, and direct emails with Epstein are in the EFTA corpus — on the same level as the four named NPA co-conspirators (Maxwell, Kellen, Ross, Marcinkova) plus the estate lawyers (Indyke, Kahn). The subpoena also asks for immigration documents for "any girl or woman who visited or traveled with Jeffrey Epstein" and living arrangements Groff made for females.
The USVI's subpoena to Eva Anderson-Dubin (Sept 2020) includes disturbing requests:
The USVI's detailed subpoena to Yulia Silinskaya (Aug 2020) treats her as an employee/associate, asking about:
EFTA corpus: Born 1991, Russian passport (EFTA01207006), university diploma (EFTA01207005), emailed Epstein directly (EFTA00814817), emailed Lesley Groff and Richard Kahn (EFTA00831459), bank transfers (EFTA01285214). The subpoena suggests USVI believed she participated in trafficking logistics.
Rinaldo Rizzo was a former employee of Glenn and Eva Dubin who is identified in law enforcement documents as:
"Rinaldo Rizzo (New York) — Former Employee of Glenn Dubin with knowledge of Epstein underage activity" (EFTA00098755)
Both the Glen Dubin and Eva Dubin USVI subpoenas specifically demand documents about "the departure of Rinaldo and/or Debra Rizzo from Your employment, any severance or non-disclosure agreement or payment, or regarding statements or testimony by Rinaldo or Debra Rizzo in any investigation or litigation related to Jeffrey Epstein and/or Ghislaine Maxwell."
Rizzo was deposed June 10, 2016 in Giuffre v. Maxwell. The USVI was trying to get around the NDAs by subpoenaing the Dubins directly for documents about the Rizzos' departure.
FBI expert Shaun O'Neill (former Human Trafficking Program Coordinator), in a report unsealed October 31, 2025 (usvi-v-jpmorgan Doc 384-att10), concluded:
O'Neill: "It shocks the conscience that it was not until Epstein's death in prison that JPMC suddenly recognized Epstein's prior banking transactions as 'suspicious.'"
The Doe v. Deutsche Bank complaint (104 pages) details how Deutsche Bank knowingly took over from JPMorgan:
Maxwell's own lawyers revealed what Rinaldo Rizzo would testify to in their Rule 404(b) motion to exclude his testimony (Giuffre v. Maxwell Doc 730):
"Rizzo's allegations that he saw Defendant [Maxwell], for example, trying to force a 15-year-old Swedish girl to have sex with Epstein"
Rizzo was a former employee of Glenn and Eva Dubin. His witness listing described him as having "knowledge of Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein's sexual trafficking conduct and interaction with underage minors." Maxwell fought hard to exclude his testimony. At the civil trial, Judge Preska required live testimony rather than deposition transcript.
JPMorgan and Deutsche Bank complaints document systematic immigration fraud:
A former anonymous air traffic controller at the St. Thomas airstrip stated in a July 2019 article filed as court exhibit:
"On multiple occasions I saw Epstein exit his helicopter, stand on the tarmac in full view of my tower, and board his private jet with children — female children. One incident in particular really stands out in my mind, because the girls were just so young. They couldn't have been over 16. Epstein looked very angry and hurled his jacket at one of them."
A second employee confirmed Epstein landed "twice a month on average" with girls "who look like they could be in high school... always wearing college sweatshirts. It seemed like camouflage." Employees would joke "How many kids are on board this time?"
Jane Doe 43 filed a separate case (1:17-cv-00616, S.D.N.Y.) described as involving Epstein "luring an underage girl into his elaborate sex trafficking enterprise under the guise of using his wealth and connections to get her into a prestige NYC college."
A January 14, 2015 letter to Prince Andrew (doe-v-us-npa Doc 291-att16) explicitly references Jane Doe 43's "claims of your subsequent interactions with her in New York City" — linking her to Prince Andrew allegations separate from Giuffre's.
Court declarations confirm Maxwell held a helicopter pilot's license:
"Ghislaine had just recently obtained her helicopter pilot's license and wanted to get some practice airtime and flew Jeffrey and [victim] to St. John where we picked up Alexandria Cousteau, the granddaughter of Jacques Cousteau."
Multiple filings reference Giuffre's claim that she flew "in a helicopter piloted by Ms. Maxwell" to Epstein's USVI island. This gave Maxwell direct operational control over victim transport — she wasn't just a recruiter but physically flew victims to the island.
Court filings detail Natalya Malyshev's role (Doe 43 complaint + Ransome deposition):
A JPMorgan compliance/due diligence document (usvi-v-jpmorgan Doc 238-att31) states Epstein reportedly "purchased [Marcinkova] at 14 from her parents in Yugoslavia."
This allegation — that Epstein literally bought a 14-year-old girl from her family — appeared in JPMorgan's own internal records, meaning the bank's compliance team was aware of this claim while continuing to service Epstein's accounts.
CBP secondary inspection remarks (EFTA02848586) include officer observations:
CBP officers documented the pattern but took no further action despite Epstein being a registered sex offender.
An FBI FD-302 interview (dated 03/17/2011) describes a Turkish girl who frequently traveled with Epstein:
The witness — a woman who ran away from a West Palm Beach rehab facility at age ~14 and was connected to Miami escort operator Ron Eppinger ("The Perfect 10") — describes the Turkish girl as part of Epstein's traveling entourage. Her identity is fully redacted. This corroborates the CBP records showing 69 Istanbul trips (2010-2013) and the civil complaint alleging trafficking from Turkey.
Multiple civil complaints in the EFTA corpus allege Epstein trafficked minors from Turkey:
Separately, victim testimony in the USVI/JPMC cases (1:22-cv-10904-JSR) states:
This corroborates the Rixos Hotels "training programme" documented in the June 2017 email chain.
In an April 2015 email, a contact who attended a "Turkish-Arab economic forum" ("Middle Eastern WEF") in Istanbul the previous week wrote to Epstein offering to introduce two women:
The pattern — offering women to Epstein alongside financial requests, from international settings — matches documented recruitment methods.
On June 25, 2014, Epstein emailed Jean-Luc Brunel asking "where are you?" Brunel replied: "In Paris. I was in Istanbul for the week end Friday Belgium."
Brunel was Epstein's primary model-agency recruiter associate. His Istanbul travel during the 2010-2014 period, combined with Epstein's own 69 CBP-documented Istanbul trips, suggests coordinated Turkey activities between the two.
