“The victims stated that, during these massages, Epstein He masturbated. Some victims alleged that he touched them during the massage…” A “professional responsibilities” report kept by the FBI summarized in November 2020 the testimonies of the numerous girls, many of them minors, to which Jeffrey Epstein had sexually subjected.
Among the almost 4,000 documents from the Epstein case declassified by the United States Department of Justice there are photos of celebrities, there are images that have a politically useful revenue in the war between American Republicans and Democrats there are darts in the hands of Donald Trump or directed against him… but there is also a corollary of painful stories, the dark and tremendous activity of the pimp and the sexual aggressornarrated by his victims.
The investigations that now appear black and white in the case papers date back to 2006. The FBI cited, in a report for the Department of Justice on the judicial path of the case and the “unorthodox” behaviors of some prosecutors, what the victims were telling throughout two years of investigation to the district attorneys of South Florida. “Through his interviews with victims, “the police learned more about Epstein’s conduct,” says the dossier, which also builds a lacerating narrative about how the conduct that is known today remained unpunished in a first investigation with a pact and an aggressive campaign by lawyers of the millionaire

Whether in a single meeting or in several, the young women who appear in the document “Masseuse” (Masseuses) declassified by the North American government, but completely censored in the 254 names on the list, had to face an assignment in which “the nature of the massages varied. According to the victims, some remained fully dressed while they massaged Epstein, Others were only wearing underwear and others were completely naked,” the summary relates.
Los touching of the millionaire aggressor spread across their breasts “or touching their vaginas directly or through their clothing. Some victims reported that Epstein used a vibrator to masturbate them, and others claimed that he penetrated them with his fingers,” the text stored among the FBI documents crudely describes.
Toys
The women who had more encounters with Epstein ended up in a more intense relationship, in which Epstein sophisticated his rape: “they alleged that Epstein performed oral and vaginal sex with them. According to one victim, an assistant of Epstein participated, on at least one occasion, in sexual activities with the victim at the direction of Epstein,” the report says.
Police searches at Epstein’s home confirmed what his main activity was. There were hundreds of photos of more or less naked girls. Also found, according to the report, was an abundant set of massage supplies: oil, stretchers, bedding… and, along with all this material, “items that the police believed were sex toys.”
However, many testimonies were left out of the case, leading to Epstein’s attacks not being interrupted sooner by the authorities. The Florida prosecutor’s office rejected them, either considering that the police had not provided sufficient evidence or estimating that the statements of some victims were diffuse or contradictory.
However, some testimonies that were questioned were corroborated by another of Epstein’s toys: his video surveillance cameras to record the massages. “Investigators discovered that Epstein used hidden cameras in his New York residence to record your sexual encountersand could have engaged in similar behavior at his home in Palm Beach – the report says -. Additionally, the computer equipment possibly contained surveillance videos that could have corroborated the victims’ statements about their visits to Epstein’s home.
The millionaire resided in New Mexico. In that state, the minimum legal age for consensual sex is 16 years old. Epstein did not escape prosecution when the police could prove that at least one of his victims in that territory was 14 years old.
pressure girls
Hay self-criticism of the police-judicial system in the dossier filed by the FBI. It is because of how the defense in the United States can undermine the testimony of someone affected by a crime. “The defense team aggressively investigated victims and presented the State Attorney’s Office with abundant material in an effort to undermine credibility of some of them,” says the report.
This investigation consisted of examining each of the complainants or witnesses’ “criminal records, publications of the victims on social networks (such as MySpace pages) about their own sexual activity and drug use“. On other occasions, they tried to extract evidence from the victims that they were actually seeking financial compensation from Epstein. The other leg of Epstein’s defense was to try to demonstrate that the aggressor did not know the real age of the girls he subjected to his games.
Among the defense tricks, individual pressure on the complainants. “One victim’s attorney stated that the attorneys advocates tried to defame the victims asking them very personal sexual questions about “pregnancy terminations… sexual encounters… masturbation,” describes the report, a 348-page analysis.
And he also deplores: “Epstein’s lawyer used similar tactics when questioning victims who filed civil lawsuits against his client. For example, the Miami Herald reported that “a young woman was asked about her abortions, and her parents, who were Catholic and were completely unaware of abortions“They were also interrogated.”
