A 15-year-old victim of Jeffrey Epstein was summoned one day to his Palm Beach mansion, she said, introduced to one of his “special” friends and instructed to get naked and give the mysterious bald man a massage.
“Make sure our friend has a really good time,” Epstein’s criminal accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell allegedly told her.
The man then raped her, said the victim, who never learned his name. Afterward, she received about $1,000 in cash and Maxwell suggested she’d be introduced to other Epstein associates in the future.
Her disturbing account is one of more than a dozen potentially credible FBI interviews CNN reviewed in the Department of Justice’s Epstein files release in which victims told authorities the financier or Maxwell facilitated sexual encounters with his rich and powerful friends. They named more than a half dozen other men, including Wall Street executives, a former senator, a wealthy psychiatrist and a film producer.
To date, only Epstein and Maxwell have been charged in the US with sex trafficking in his case, and FBI Director Kash Patel has said there’s “no credible information” that Epstein trafficked his victims to others.
