In a serious interview with 60 Minutes Australia, a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein shared how she was manipulated and harmed as a teenager. She was then pushed to bring in her friends—girls who were the same age as her and all under 18—into Epstein’s system of trafficking. She mentioned that after the first terrible experience, Epstein managed to bring her back, and eventually convinced her to help bring over more than 50 other girls.
She said, “I feel a lot of guilt and shame for what I did.”
Her voice trembled as she described the first time she went to his house and was sexually abused by him, calling it one of the worst days of her life. She added, “It’s really heartbreaking to know that I had any role in something like that happening to someone else.”
The survivor explained that she was the same age as the girls she brought in—under 18, vulnerable, and easy to control.
This disturbing story gives a clear look at how Epstein’s operation worked: using one victim to lure in others, creating a cycle of abuse that hurt many lives.
This comes as there’s more anger about the Epstein files, which include unedited videos of young people, lists of survivors, ignored tips about a deadly incident at Zorro Ranch, and resignations and arrests of high-profile people like UK’s Andrew.
Survivors are still dealing with the trauma years later, while those who helped Epstein remain free in a country that’s facing problems linked to Trump.
