Recruitment Infrastructure (20 sites)

Grand jury subpoenaed student records. Multiple victims attended. FBI agent delivered flowers to a victim here and noted some girls 'car pooled together.' Police found a high school transcript from this school in Epstein's Palm Beach residence alongside sexual lubricant.

Victims were instructed by Epstein's associates to say they were 18 and seniors at Wellington High School if asked. One victim stated this cover story was provided when she was recruited during her 10th grade year.

Victims attended this school. Prosecutors noted conflicting information about which school victims attended — one said Wellington High, the other said Palm Beach Central.

Elite Manhattan private school where Epstein taught math and physics (1973–1975) despite lacking a college degree. Hired by headmaster Donald Barr (father of future AG William Barr). Students included the son of Bear Stearns chairman Ace Greenberg, who later hired Epstein. Grand jury subpoenaed school records but Dalton could not locate them.

Elite Michigan arts camp and boarding school. Epstein attended as a 14-year-old bassoon player (1967), then returned as a major donor — $420,000+ documented donations (1993-1997) including $200K lodge construction, $125K operations, $25K general, $20K Olympic Fund, $50K+ with directed scholarships to named students. Lodge was 'segregated away from the main campus' where 'people would not see others coming and going' (FBI FD-302). In summer 1994, Epstein and Maxwell approached a 13-year-old voice student at a picnic bench (she was eating ice cream with friends; Maxwell had a Yorkie dog). Victim's family was homeless — father recently died, they lived in a pool house. Epstein groomed her as 'godfather,' sent chauffeur, gave cash, paid voice lessons, bought Victoria's Secret underwear. First assault at 14 in pool house. Maxwell participated in sexual abuse, teaching victim 'what men like' — 'very casual, like it was normal.' Maxwell told Interlochen staff she was bringing 'their personal masseuse.' Epstein 'went to Interlochen almost every summer in the 1990s' (pilot testimony). Itzhak Perlman flew on Interlochen flights. Wexner Foundation paid $185K (92.5%) of lodge cost on July 25, 1994 — weeks before recruitment. Three SDNY subpoenas (2020-2021) citing sex trafficking statutes (18 U.S.C. §§ 2423(a), 1591). At least two students (GX 742, GX 743) prepared as Government Exhibits. In April 2017, Epstein sent the same Interlochen camp link to Bechet Allen (Woody Allen's ~18yo daughter) and Soon-Yi Previn — identical playbook 23 years later. Lodge renamed 'Green Lake Lodge' after 2008. 193 corpus documents.

A victim graduated from this school (then known by a different name, renamed Dreyfoos School of the Arts during their senior year) in 1998.

In December 2001, Palm Beach County OCVAN (Organized Crime Vice and Narcotics) opened a case after learning Maxwell was recruiting female students from this college to 'answer phones' for $200/day cash at Epstein's residence. Students reported inappropriate touching. Case was closed as 'Unfounded' despite corroborating evidence.

FBI case summary: 'Epstein is believed to have manipulated underage girls from local high schools to perform massages and sexual acts at his residence. The victims were usually recruited by other underage females.' PBPD surveillance observed visitors who were 'prepubescent with braces and backpacks coming from school.' The pyramid scheme recruitment model — victims paid to bring friends — spread through multiple Palm Beach area high schools.

Founded by Jean-Luc Brunel with Epstein's financial backing. Described in court filings as a 'transport agency of underage girls.' Operated as a direct pipeline, bringing young models from abroad and providing Epstein access. Virginia Roberts testified that Brunel brought girls as young as 12 from overseas. Agency had offices in Miami, New York, and Tel Aviv.

Co-founded by Faith Kates. Kates emailed directly with Epstein, offered use of private plane, and discussed investment opportunities. Email traffic shows regular contact between Kates and Epstein's inner circle.

Founded by John Casablancas, who was Jean-Luc Brunel's mentor and had documented abuse issues with underage models. Brunel ran Elite's Miami office before founding MC2. The agency's culture of exploiting young models provided the template for Brunel's later trafficking operations with Epstein.

Paris-based agency. Brunel met with Epstein's lawyer Darren Indyke at the agency office. Documents reference packages being sent to 'Karin Models/MC-squared' by Epstein's staff.

Copenhagen agency founded in 1993. Daniel Siad sent Epstein a Latvian model through Scoop who 'looks younger' and had met 'Jean luck [Brunel] once in Danemark.' Direct link between Scandinavian modeling world and Brunel's trafficking pipeline.

Mentioned in EFTA documents in connection with the modeling industry network. Extent of direct involvement unclear.

Faith Kates worked at Wilhelmina before co-founding Next Model Management. Referenced in 68 EFTA documents.

Epstein attempted to acquire IMG Models. Met with owner Teddy Forstmann as part of a broader strategy to control the modeling industry. Acquisition did not materialize.

Epstein met with founder Scott Lipps as part of his modeling agency acquisition strategy.

Virginia Roberts testified she was recruited by Ghislaine Maxwell while working at the spa at Mar-a-Lago. Maxwell drove to the club and approached the then-16-year-old Roberts. This was the initial contact point for one of the most documented victims.

Multiple victims describe being recruited at this Riviera Beach resort. In sworn grand jury testimony, a victim-turned-recruiter stated two acquaintances approached her here at age 16, asked if she wanted to 'make money,' and described massaging a man in Palm Beach for $200. The pair then drove her to Epstein's house. FBI confirmed through phone records that the two recruiters coordinated victim transport from this location. At least two separate victims were recruited here. AUSA Villafana was still trying to locate one of the recruiters in October 2008.

Epstein told young women he was a Victoria's Secret model scout, using Les Wexner's brand as a lure. Alicia Arden filed a 1997 police report after Epstein, posing as a VS talent scout, lured her to his hotel room and groped her. Multiple victims reported being told Epstein could get them Victoria's Secret modeling work.
