Epstein used modelling agent to recruit girls, Brazilian women tell BBC
Brazilian women have come forward to the BBC, alleging that they were recruited by a modelling agent to provide massages for the late financier Jeffrey Epstein. The women claim that the agent lured them under false pretenses to Epstein’s properties in the U.S. and other countries, where they were then pressured into providing massages that escalated to sexual acts.
According to the BBC report, the women were promised modelling opportunities, but upon arrival, they were faced with demands for sexual services. The victims have stated that they were underage at the time and were manipulated and coerced into complying with Epstein’s desires.
Epstein, a convicted sex offender who died in prison in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges, has been accused by numerous women of running a sex trafficking ring that involved underage girls. The case has garnered international attention and led to ongoing investigations into his alleged co-conspirators.
The allegations made by these Brazilian women shed light on the methods Epstein reportedly used to recruit young girls into his network of victims. The modelling industry has long been scrutinized for exploitation and abuse, with vulnerable individuals often falling prey to those in positions of power.
The modelling agent accused of facilitating the recruitment has not yet commented publicly on the allegations. However, this case adds to the complexity of the Epstein scandal, raising questions about the extent of his network and the tactics employed to ensnare young girls.
The BBC’s report highlights the need for continued scrutiny and investigation into Epstein’s associates and enablers, as well as the systems that allowed such exploitation to persist unchecked.
