The Trump, Epstein, Casablancas, Brunel, and Ghislaine Pipeline Network

by We The People | Sep 30, 2025 | Uncategorized

I have been digging online in search of old reported on articles of information, and it appears that the sex trafficking ring began even before Epstein. If you want to understand how elite sex trafficking truly operated — not as a scandal but as a system — you start with the modeling agencies. Trump, Epstein, Casablancas, and Brunel were part of an organized, predatory network of pedophiles—using modeling contests, private dinners, and fake opportunities to prey on teenage girls.

Here’s how they worked together in plain sight

Let’s start with John Casablancas, founder of Elite Model Management. He openly dated teenage models. and ran “Look of the Year” contests worldwide—many girls were underage. He also admitted to sleeping with girls as young as 14.

Casablancas and Trump were close. They co-hosted private dinners where models were made to walk across tables so Trump could “stick his head under their skirts.” Trump even sent Ivanka to him for modeling, at age 14.

Casablancas wasn’t alone. Enter Jean-Luc Brunel. Another modeling agent with a long trail of rape and trafficking accusations. He ran Karin Models and later MC2, a front Epstein used to bring in girls. One victim said: “Jean-Luc handed me over to Epstein like I was a toy.”

Brunel’s ties to Epstein ran deep. Epstein funded Brunel’s modeling agency. Brunel then supplied Epstein with underage girls, many from overseas. French prosecutors had multiple rape charges against him. He died mysteriously in prison—“suicide,” they said.

Trump, Epstein, Casablancas, and Brunel were all connected.

✔️ Attended the same model scouting events

✔️ Judged the same contests

✔️ Hosted private dinners with girls as young as 13

✔️ Traded girls across state and national borders

This wasn’t random. It was coordinated.

A 1991 “Look of the Year” dinner party makes it crystal clear:

💠 Trump and Casablancas sat side-by-side, watching 15-year-olds “compete”

💠 They told one girl to take off her jacket to “show her body”

💠 Brunel was a fixture at these contests too

This was grooming, not modeling.

Elite Modeling. Trump Models. MC2. Karin Models. Different names. Same function.

All four men used their agencies as pipelines—To control, traffic, and exploit young girls under the guise of fashion and fame.

Four powerful men did this together for decades. They built their reputations on exploiting teenage girls.

Only one is still alive. And that one is president, again.

“Little St. James” wasn’t the beginning.

It was the destination.

Trump, Epstein, Casablancas, Brunel—each played a role in building the pipeline:

Modeling agencies, teen pageants, “scouting trips.”

Epstein Island was where the system delivered the girls. Survivors have said as much.

What has come of them as of today?

🔹 Epstein — died in jail by suicide, hanged

🔹 Brunel — died in jail by suicide, hanged

🔹 Casablancas — died of cancer in 2013, never faced justice

🔹 Trump — very much alive… and running the country again

Only one is still walking free. The one with the most power.

This isn’t gossip. It’s a system of power, money, and sexual abuse—shielded by “elites.” And it’s not history. Trump is president right now. Covering up the highly demanded release of the Epstein Files. Could it be that perhaps all this information is IN the files?

I’ll get into more detail on how this system all functioned shortly, well, based on the information I have found, but first let’s look at this point.

Just as the author wrote in an article, Justice For Jane Does: Trump, Sex Trafficking & The Writers Who Stopped Writing About It , “this article is not an attempt to regurgitate the good and thorough work done by bloggers, published authors and journalists regarding Donald Trump, Trump Model Management and Sex Trafficking”. This is about bringing back into light what is buried deep in the internet and in old articles. When all these reports were freshly floating around back years ago they all suddenly stopped and disappeared, got buried.

The author of the article questioned, why did that coverage stop after the election, what became of those “reporters” (generally and specifically) and why did this subject disappear from headlines in November, 2016. Writers went “radio silent” shortly after Trump was elected.

Why did these writers stop writing? could it be that, just like Trump’s alleged victims of CSA, writers were pressured — or even threatened — into silence?

If writers, journalists and victims were influenced, encouraged or threatened to stop writing on the topic of Trump, Trump Model Management and Sex Abuse, their disappearance from blogs, media, publishing and social media regarding this topic — and the work they did around the time Trump was elected — it’s time to bring this heinous network back into the light. There have been accusations and investigations levied against Trump & Trump Model Management. One of the investigations was from, before she left the Senate, then-Senator Barbara Boxer, she called for an investigation into Trump Model Management and other “modeling-agencies” that pimped their models out to rich and powerful men. I have no idea on what came of the investigation.

In another article, I Was A Child Model for Donald Trump’s Buddy, John Casablancas & It Wasn’t Pretty , the author explained that they began searching for and reaching out to writers that stopped their coverage of the topic. That author wrote about exposing the sexploitation of children through modeling because they lived it. In the 1980s, they were a child model for Donald Trump’s buddy, fellow-exploiter and accused pedophile, (the late) John Casablancas. The author writes, as they say, “You’re known by the company you keep,” At age thirteen, they joined John Casablancas/Elite (“JCE”) in a small-ish market and started modeling bathing suits and lingerie.

In their search for the writers, the author of that specific article communicated with a prolific writer who was and is an inspiration to them, and who has spoken out against model abuse for years. He told them that he stopped writing about Trump Model Management because he felt he had aired everything verifiable that he’d learned through his reporting on the issue and said that it would be “difficult, if not impossible, to convince any of Donald Trump’s victims to go on the record.” He said he was “also disgusted by the propensity of Trump fans to accept, and even cheer, his behavior however outrageous, disgusting or even illegal.” According to this author, that writer requested to remain anonymous.

When a man like Donald Trump — who openly and overtly harasses women — is elevated to (and is allowed to maintain) the position of President of the United States, it gives tacit permission for others to engage in this behavior, and that is unconscionable. Sex Trafficking-disguised-as-modeling and used to lure young girls into sexual servitude is a malevolent practice perpetrated by men (and a few women) in the highest and lowest echelons of society and by some of the most powerful people in our country; one of them may even be the President.

HOW THE MODELING AGENCIES WERE THE PIPELINE

Ok, now, let’s delve deeper into the other information I found. I will have to refresh on what has already been mentioned in the connection between these individuals because I will be going deeper into how it is all intertwined.

In the late 20th century (the late 20th century encompasses the years from 1970 to 1999) John Casablancas, founder of Elite Model Management, built the original model: turn teenage girls into glamorized assets. Trump and Casablancas would cross paths at some point during the 70’s-most likely through Roy Cohn, who was involved in the suit between Elite and Ford-and they would form a decades long friendship and later a formal partnership. What kind of man seeks out, pursues friendship and business partnerships with a man, Casablancas, who is not ashamed in his preference for underage girls? Their partnership and friendship has been largely forgotten by history.

On September 1, 1991, a large private yacht cruised towards the Statue of Liberty. Downstairs, a party was in flow. Scores of teenage girls in evening dresses and miniskirts, some as young as 14, danced under disco lights. It could have been a high school prom, were it not for the crowd of older men surrounding them. As the evening wore on, some of the men – many old enough to be the girls’ fathers, or even grandfathers – joined them on the dancefloor, pressing themselves against the girls.

The party aboard the Spirit of New York was one of several events that Donald Trump, then 45, attended with a group of 58 aspiring young models that September. They had travelled from around the world to compete in Elite’s Look of the Year competition, an annual event that had been running since 1983 and was already credited with launching the careers of Cindy Crawford, Helena Christensen and Stephanie Seymour. At stake was a life-changing prize: a $150,000 contract with the world’s then leading modelling agency, Elite Model Management, run by John Casablancas.

Trump was closely involved in Casablancas’s competition. In 1991, he was a headline sponsor, throwing open the Plaza, his lavish, chateau-style hotel overlooking Central Park, transforming it into the main venue and accommodating the young models. He was also one of its 10 judges.

In 1992, Trump hosted the competition again. On an evening in early September that year, another group of contestants boarded the Spirit of New York, chartered for another Elite cruise. One of the girls on the boat was Shawna Lee, then a 14-year-old from a small town outside Toronto. She recalls how the contestants were encouraged to parade downstairs, one by one, and dance for Trump, Casablancas and others.

Another contestant, who was 15 at the time, also remembers being asked to walk for Trump, Casablancas and other men on the boat in September 1992. She says an organizer told her that if she refused, she would be excluded from the competition. “I knew in my gut it wasn’t right,” she recalls. “This wasn’t being judged or part of the competition – it was for their entertainment.”

Three decades on, a very different picture of the competition is beginning to emerge. Over the last six months, the Guardian has spoken to several dozen former Look of the Year contestants, as well as industry insiders, and obtained 12 hours of previously unseen, behind-the-scenes footage. The stories we have heard suggest that Casablancas, and some of the men in his orbit, used the contest to engage in sexual relationships with vulnerable young models. Some of these allegations amount to sexual harassment, abuse or exploitation of teenage girls; others are more accurately described as rape.

Patty Owen, an Elle and Cosmopolitan cover star, recalls seeing Trump at Elite parties as far back as 1982. “He would always be at the bar. That’s where he would stay and that’s where all the new models would hang out,” she says. Barbara Pilling, also then an Elite model, told us Trump asked her out for dinner in the summer of 1989 at an industry soiree. She recalls Trump asking how old she was. “I said 17 and he said, ‘That’s just great – you’re not too old, not too young.’”

Speaking to the Guardian, four former Elite models say that in the late 80s or early 90s, when they were teenagers, the agency required them to attend private dinners with Trump, Casablancas and sometimes other men. One was Shayna Love, an Australian model who was 16 when she came to New York for the first time in the summer of 1991. Recalling a dinner she attended, she says now: “It was presented as our duty as models at the agency. It wasn’t an invitation. It was like, you have to go and do this.”

Some former contestants recall him being there as they got dressed for events. “Every time we changed, it was like Trump would find a reason to come backstage,” Stacy Wilkes says. A Canadian contestant from 1992 recalls similar incidents. “He’d come by and say, ‘Hey girls, are we ready?’”

Others, however, observed a disturbing side to the contest. Ohad Oman, a young reporter for a magazine in Tel Aviv, was sent to cover it in 1991 and 1992. He attended a number of the after-parties, and remembers seeing girls drinking alcohol. He recalls one particularly debauched party, telling the Guardian: “I saw girls sitting on guys’ laps, and I remember one guy putting his hand down a girl’s top. I remember thinking they were younger than me, and I was 17 going on 18.”

Speaking to the Guardian 30 years on, several former Look of the Year contestants feel that a #MeToo moment (I think the author meant movement, not moment, here maybe) for the modelling world is long overdue.

After Look of the Year 1991, Stacy Wilkes adds that women were raising concerns at the time and were ignored: “I think models from the 90s tried so hard, over and over, and nobody believed what we had to say”, she said.

Kate Dillon, now a businesswoman living in Seattle, remembers the contest as one that “exploited women’s assets, women’s bodies.”

Casablancas met his third wife, 17-year-old Brazilian model Aline Wermelinger, in 1992, when she was a Look of the Year contestant staying at Trump’s Plaza, he was 51.

It also appears that Epstein had a Casablancas connection during the 1990s. According to a lawsuit filed in the US in 1990, Casablancas sent a teenage model for her first “casting call” at a residential address on New York’s Upper East Side, to meet a “photographer” who, it turned out, was Epstein. The lawsuit states that Epstein ordered the 15-year-old girl to undress before taking photographs of her, pushing her against a wall and sexually assaulting her.

In one article that I read in my research, October Surprises: Trump’s Child Sex Trafficking is Finally Becoming a Major Story (Update) , the author refers to an earlier article they wrote in The Daily Beast about the parties Trump hosted in the 1990s where his wealthy friends, high-rollers from his Atlantic City casinos, and potential Trump condominium buyers could meet models from second-tier agencies. After writing The Daily Beast article several men who attended those parties at the Plaza Hotel emerged to share scandalous specifics about Trump’s presence and behavior at events where illegal drugs and young women were passed around and used.

Two men that the author spoke with confirmed that Trump used to host parties in suites at the Plaza Hotel when he owned it, where young women and girls were introduced to older, richer men.

One of the men, a photographer, said “The girls were as young as 15, and over their heads, they had no idea, and they ended up in situations”. “Trump would go from room to room,” said the photographer, who added that “I was there to party myself. It was guys with younger girls, sex, a lot of sex, a lot of cocaine, top-shelf liquor” “but no smoking. Trump didn’t approve of cigarettes”.

Well then, thank you daddy Trump for making sure your 15-year-old party favors didn’t ruin their developing little lungs with cigarette smoke after getting f****d by the grown men you passed them around to.

The author of that article wrote that in the aftermath of posting their article about Trump Model Management, they have had a flood of responses from people, including Michael Gross, who have first-hand knowledge of the crimes that Donald Trump, unregistered sex offender, has committed.

In another article in New York Daily News titled Donald Trump hosted wild parties with sex, cocaine and underage models: report refers to a story in The Daily Beast that involves sex-and-cocaine parties hosted by Donald Trump at his posh Plaza Hotel.

The story by The Daily Beast charged that Trump regularly threw the wild parties in lavish suites at the renowned hotel he owned from 1988-95. Based on information from two eyewitnesses, guests at the decadent soirees included female models as young as age 15. One of the Daily Beast sources, a New York fashion photographer speaking on condition of anonymity, said Trump would take over entire corner suites at the Plaza for days at a time. He would then invite young models so that they could meet his affluent, older friends — who could give them major career boosts, the photographer said. Trump allowed the attendees to do whatever drugs they wanted, the photographer said. As guests partied hard on coke and top-shelf liquor, the mogul would stroll from room to room and hook up with girls. Andy Lucchesi, a male model who used to help organize the parties, said Trump would never partake of the cocaine, but more than often indulged in sex.

George Houraney, a businessman whose American Dream Calendar Girls beauty contest had been running in Las Vegas casinos since 1978, recalls encountering Epstein at Mar-a-Lago in January 1993. Houraney says that Trump asked him to organize a party that month with some of his pageant’s finalists, promising to invite heads of modelling agencies and prospective sponsors for his competition. “He had me fly in all these girls, and gave me a $30,000 budget for airfares and limos to pick them up at the airport,” he says. “The girls were all decked out, expecting to meet all these VIPs.” But after an hour at the party, Houraney says, there seemed to be only one other guest: Epstein. “I was like, ‘Donald, where are the guys? What’s going on here?’ And he said, ‘Well, this is it.’” Houraney says he realized “this is a Jeff Epstein party, basically”.

In 1996, Trump secured what the New York Daily News described as “his most beautiful deal yet”. After months of negotiations, he acquired the Miss Universe Organization in a reported $10m deal that handed him control of three large, well-established pageants: Miss Universe, Miss USA, and Miss Teen USA. Tasha Dixon, Miss Arizona USA 2001, said Trump “just came strolling right in” while contestants were changing. Another contestant, Mariah Billado of Miss Teen USA, said he entered their dressing room too — when many girls were still minors. Though Look of the Year was separate, the access and entitlement Trump described were part of a broader system where youth, beauty, and silence were routinely exploited. Three years later, he founded Trump Model Management, poaching many staff from Elite.

According to Wolfgang Schwarz, a veteran model agent in Austria who worked closely with Casablancas, and met Trump at the Plaza in the early 90s, Trump’s decision to establish his own agency was about him wanting his own private source for models.

Casablancas’ past eventually caught up with him. In 2002 he was sued by a former model who said that Casablancas had raped her when she was 15, and then forced her to get an abortion. Then, in 2004 Elite World SA, after years of financial mismanagement, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Elite Models New York City was put up for auction and bought by a Florida businessman for $4.4 million.

As for Trump, in one article I came across, We All Knew About the Trafficking”-The Untold Story of Trump Model Management (Part 1) , the author of it wrote that they had read a Mother Jones article about Trump’s modeling agency and was struck by how much it resembled the business model of sex trafficking-something they have researched and written about extensively.

The author was not alone in their impressions-others who commented on the Mother Jones piece about his modeling agency and the subsequent coverage made similar observations. MSNBC’s Chris Hayes has even commented that Trump Models seemed to be borderline human trafficking, initially making the comment on Twitter and later on dedicating a segment of his prime time show to exploring the topic.

How does Jean-Luc Brunel fit into this network? Jean-Luc Brunel was the head of the international modelling agency Karin Models in Paris, France and later founded Karin Models of America in 1995. After Brunel was included in a BBC One MacIntyre Undercover report on abuse within the fashion industry in November 1999, he was banned from his modeling agency in Europe. In the early 2000s, Brunel moved to the United States. He later received funds from Epstein of “up to a million dollars” in 2004 to help launch a new modeling agency: MC2 Model Management. Brunel transformed Karin Models U.S. division into MC2 Model Management, by opening offices in New York City and Miami in 2005. However, allegations arose that this agency was utilized by Epstein for the recruitment and trafficking of young women, some underage, under the guise of modeling opportunities. Brunel was accused of grooming young females and of partaking in the alleged sex trafficking ring run by Epstein. Virginia Roberts Giuffre, an Epstein accuser, alleged in a 2014 court filing that this system was a cover for sex trafficking. In 2019, French National Police launched an investigation on Brunel after he went into hiding following Epstein’s death. He was arrested on December 16, 2020, and French prosecutors charged him with the rape of minors. However, he died from an apparent suicide before his trial could proceed.

GHISLAINE

By now you are probably wondering, why has Ghislaine Maxwell not came up yet as she has always been the main one linked to Epstein, aside from Trump, though she did, no denying, play a crucial role in the recruiting of the girls, there was also an entire trafficking ring in play. So how does Ghislaine fit in and connect to all these other people besides Epstein? Brunel had met Ghislaine Maxwell in the 1980s, and she later introduced him to the financier Jeffrey Epstein.

In regards to Epstein and Maxwell, this wasn’t a rogue operation perpetrated by just them. It was a network. All of these individuals (Epstein, Maxwell, Trump, Brunel, and Casablancas) and companies are, as it turns out, inextricably linked in ways that leave little doubt of the nature of their business. A large part of the modeling industry was set up to traffic teen and young women to rich and connected men.

BEHAVIOR OF TRUMP

There has been some very disturbing comments made by Trump regarding his daughters. He bragged to anyone who would listen about how beautiful Ivanka was, often remarking on her body. He has sought affirmation from others when he asked if they (including a judge for Miss USA and others) thought his daughter was “hot”. He has spoke about her sex life in comparison to his own and even “joked” about dating her. In an interview when he was asked about his then infant daughter, Tiffany, spoke about her legs and speculated on her future breast development.

According to a sworn deposition that Ivana gave during the divorce Trump brutally raped her. After a painful scalp reduction surgery to remove a bald spot, Donald Trump confronted his then-wife, Ivana, who had previously used the same plastic surgeon. “Your f*****g doctor has ruined me!” Trump cried. What followed was a “violent assault,” according to Lost Tycoon, which escalated into raping her, Harry Hurt III, who obtained a copy of the deposition, wrote in his book “Lost Tycoon: The Many Lives of Donald J. Trump”.

In a televised interview with CNN on July 16, 2025, Jack O’Donnell, former president of the Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, reported witnessing Donald J. Trump and convicted rape trafficker Jeffrey Epstein escorting three teenage girls onto the casino floor in the late 1980s. At the time, Trump was running Trump Model Management. The agency operated in the mold of Elite Model Management, which was founded by Trump associate John Casablancas, a man accused of serial child rape and impregnating at least one 15 year old child model. Casablancas operated child-targeted modeling events, and industry coverage confirms Trump appeared at some of these, including Look of the Year competitions, alongside Casablancas.

Multiple former models, including Patty Owen, Barbara Pilling, Heather Braden, Shayna Love, and Ell Nesso, have accused Trump, Epstein, and Casablancas of luring young girls to parties in New York and Florida between the late 1980s and 1990s. These events took place in private mansions, penthouses, and hotel suites and routinely included alcohol, drugs, and high-profile older men. The girls were often told the events were opportunities to network or build modeling careers. Instead, many say they were groomed, raped, exploited, and pressured into silence. Witnesses report seeing Trump and Epstein together at multiple such gatherings. These events, according to firsthand accounts, were deliberately orchestrated to give powerful men unfettered access to vulnerable teens and children under the pretext of professional opportunities. The overlapping involvement of Trump, Epstein, and Casablancas points to a trafficking network that facilitated access to teens and children, to high-profile individuals.

Media coverage of Trump’s links to Epstein has focused largely on Mar-a-Lago and Manhattan. But the Atlantic City incident shows their relationship ran deeper and began earlier than previously acknowledged. By his own account, Donald Trump got to know financier Jeffrey Epstein in the late 1980s. It also shows that the mechanisms shielding them, wealth, influence, and regulatory complicity, were already in full operation.

In 2024, a former model for Sports Illustrated, Stacey Williams, revealed Donald Trump sexually assaulted her in an incident in Trump tower in 1993. She was introduced to Trump by Jeffrey Epstein. Williams shared a postcard depicting Trump’s South Florida mansion, which she said he sent to her agent a year after the incident in 1993. The message, written in his handwriting, read: “Stacey – Your home away from home. Love, Donald.”

Heather Braden, an Elite model in the late 90s, revealed that she was instructed to go to a party in a mansion on one of the islands near Miami Beach, there she witnessed Trump and three famous actors, who she refused to name, prey on dozens of young models isolating many into bedrooms or other parts of the mansion, “Clearly, we were there for one reason. We were just pieces of meat.”

Shayna Love, an Australian model, stated that the parties were mandatory for young models. Love reported attending a dinner with Casablancas and Trump when she was 18, saying, “This time it was a private area, a big table, and lots of girls—around 10 to 15 of us, all between the ages of 14 and 18.” She added, “It was just us models, Trump, and John. We were all underage, but we were offered drinks.” Love left early, but other children stayed behind. Ell Nesso, an Elite model, stated, “We were a bunch of kids, just put there with all these older men.”

From 1988 until 1992, Donald Trump hosted cocaine-fueled parties that featured prominent VIPs and celebrities, including Epstein and Casablancas. Leonardo DeCaprio referred to Trump’s parties as “one stop dating shops”. Children as young as 14 would reportedly attend these parties which featured cocaine and “sex” between the models and prominent men.

Now this one I am not sure on but mentioning it so as if it’s seen in the source article, there will be an understanding as to why i didn’t include her in the, people to reach out to section:

In 2024, dancer Adria Sheri English also reported spotting Trump attending one of the infamous Sean Combs (P Diddy) parties among other prominent individuals, where she was raped. This may not be reliable though because supposedly attorney Ariel Mitchell-Kidd, one of English’s former lawyers, filed legal paperwork indicating that English’s behavior made it impossible to continue representing her. The legal filing noted that her actions were destructive and severely hindered the case. — as mentioned in this article .

A highly suspicious FACT is found in a 2010 deposition from Epstein…

According to Trump biographer Michael Wolff, who interviewed Epstein extensively, who has said that Epstein had shown him photographs suggesting both that Trump knew about Epstein’s exploited girls and participated in exploiting them. He has also said that Trump and Epstein had a mutual plan that they would get girls to traffic to Prince Andrew, how this came to be was that Ghislaine Maxwell had deep connections throughout British society, including Prince Andrew.

Termination Of Trafficking Grants

On March 27, 2025, the Trump administration has terminated 69 international programs aimed at combating child labor, forced labor and human trafficking. John Clark, a Trump-appointed Labor Department official, directed the agency’s Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB) to end all of its grants due to a “lack of alignment with agency priorities and national interest.” The cuts are expected to end 69 programs that have allocated more than $500 million to combat child labor, forced labor and human trafficking, and to enforce labor standards in more than 40 countries. “These cuts mean that [more] children will be forced to work in extremely hazardous conditions in brick kilns, slave-like conditions in seafood processing centers and palm oil processing, and in forced online sex exploitation,” said a federal employee with knowledge of the grants, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they feared retaliation. Children are believed to make up 38% of human trafficking victims globally, according to a report earlier this month from the United Nations, which notes how girls are increasingly trafficked for sexual exploitation and forced labor while boys are primarily trafficked for forced labor and criminal activities. The number of children involved in child labor is estimated to be around 160 million, according to the United Nations’ International Labor Organization (ILO).

On April 22, 2025, the Trump Administration terminated grants from the Department of Justice’s Office of Justice Programs (OJP). CBS News had obtained a list of federal grant programs halted by the Justice Department, disrupting programs to help victims of hate crime and sex trafficking, children who’ve suffered violence, and refugees. DOJ terminated 365 awards on the basis that the work “no longer effectuates Department priorities.” According to funding termination notices sent to grantees, those priorities include “combatting violent crime, protecting American children, and supporting American victims of trafficking and sexual assault, and better coordinating law enforcement efforts at all levels of government.” The funding cuts also undermine services for victims of sexual assault. The Administration canceled investments in training and assistance for sexual assault nurse examiners, registered nurses who are specially trained to provide appropriate care and medical forensic examinations to survivors of sexual violence. Other terminated grants include direct funding for victims’ services for survivors of human trafficking. One of the impacted organizations was a Virginia group that helps human trafficking and sex victims.

GHISLAINE’S CONNECTIONS TO ANDREW, EPSTEIN, AND OTHERS

Maxwell is known for her longstanding friendship with Prince Andrew, and for having escorted him to a “hookers and pimps” social function in New York. In a November 2019 interview with the BBC, Andrew said that the two had known each other since Maxwell was an undergraduate at Oxford. She introduced Epstein to Prince Andrew, and the three often socialized together.

Accounts differ on when Maxwell first met American financier Jeffrey Epstein. According to Epstein’s former business partner, Steven Hoffenberg, Robert Maxwell introduced his daughter to Epstein in the late 1980s. Other reports indicate that Maxwell met Epstein in the early 1990s at a New York party, after a breakup with her previous boyfriend. Maxwell moved to the US in 1991, soon after her father’s death, and quickly rose to prominence as a socialite, creating opportunities to meet many wealthy and influential individuals. Maxwell herself stated in a 2016 deposition that she met Epstein in 1991 through a “mutual friend”. While there is no single confirmed answer about their first encounter, multiple possibilities suggest they met sometime between the late 1980s and early 1990s in elite social circles. Maxwell and Epstein were associated with each other by February 1993.

ALAN DERSHOWITZ AND ALEX ACOSTA

Alan Dershowitz was a lawyer for Epstein and, according to an article in Miami Herald, a close friend of Epstein. Dershowitz had previously befriended Epstein through their mutual acquaintance Lynn Forester de Rothschild. The first investigation into Epstein concluded with a controversial non-prosecution agreement that Dershowitz helped negotiate on Epstein’s behalf. Jeffrey Epstein’s controversial non-prosecution agreement with federal prosecutors was signed in 2007. A lawyer for Epstein’s victims has called for Dershowitz to be held accountable for his role in enabling Epstein.

In 2007, Miami’s top federal prosecutor, Alexander Acosta, had a breakfast appointment with a former colleague, Washington, D.C., attorney Jay Lefkowitz. Lefkowitz represented Jeffrey Epstein and worked with former colleague and Kirkland & Ellis partner Alexander Acosta, then US Attorney in Florida, to cut a deal. A lawsuit brought by Epstein’s victims revealed that Epstein’s attorneys pressured Justice Department officials not to notify Epstein’s victims of the plea agreement. A letter written by Ken Starr and another attorney on Epstein’s legal team, Jay Lefkowitz, urged Acosta to hold off notifying victims of the plea deal until they could speak with the head of the Justice Department’s criminal division.

Both men have done things that would give the impression that they do not want to combat trafficking and also give leeway to trafficking. In January 2020, Dershowitz joined Donald Trump’s legal team as Trump was being tried on impeachment charges in the Senate. After the trial, Dershowitz lobbied the administration to commute the 10-year sentence of George Nader, who had pleaded guilty to child pornography and sex trafficking. Alan Dershowitz has made a comment regarding Maxwell, “There is so much public pressure,” he said. “She should have been let out on bail originally. That was a mistake.” As Secretary of Labor under Trump’s first term, in 2019, Alex Acosta proposed cutting the funding of his department’s International Labor Affairs Bureau from $68 million in 2018 to under $20 million in 2020. That agency combats human trafficking (including child sex trafficking), child labor and forced labor internationally.

OTHER POTENTIAL PERPETRATORS

In court documents from a civil suit that were released from seal in 2019, Virginia Giuffre named several others that she claims Epstein and Maxwell instructed her to have sex with when she was 16 years old, including hedge fund manager Glenn Dubin, attorney Alan Dershowitz, politician Bill Richardson, the late MIT scientist Marvin Minsky, lawyer George J. Mitchell, and MC2 modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel.

Epstein’s housekeeper Juan Alessi testified that Alan Dershowitz would often visit Epstein’s Florida mansion to get massages.

In 1991, there were 10 judges in total, eight of them men, including Trump, Casablancas, the celebrity magician David Copperfield, and the president of Elite’s European division, Gérald Marie.

In 2000, New York magazine reported that two of Elite’s senior women executives had pleaded with both Casablancas and Marie to stop sleeping with underage models, but had been ignored. “We are men,” Marie reportedly said. “We have our needs.” In 2011, the Elite supermodel and actor Carré Otis alleged that Marie had repeatedly raped her when she was a 17-year-old model in Paris in the 1980s.

David Copperfield, an associate of both Casablancas and Trump, who judged Look of the Year in 1988 and 1991 was the subject of allegations by Brittney Lewis, a 17-year-old contestant in the 1988 Look of the Year, held in Japan. According to her account, Copperfield invited her to a show in California after she had returned home to Utah. Lewis alleged that she saw Copperfield pour something into her glass and then blanked out, but says she retained hazy recollections of him sexually assaulting her in his hotel room.

Several of the 1991 contestants recall Copperfield behaving in a way that now strikes them as inappropriate in regards to a 15-year-old contestant, a 14-year-old contestant (Aimee Bendio), and a 16-year-old contestant (Maya Rubin).

Johanna Sjoberg said Copperfield asked her if she knew that “girls were getting paid to find other girls”, referring to the recruitment of women by Epstein and Maxwell as “massage therapists”.

In one article, The Biggest Names from Jeffrey Epstein’s Unsealed Court Documents , it states that names were released on Jan. 4, 2024, in a set of court documents that were part of a suit against Ghislaine Maxwell in 2015.

Here are some high-profile names mentioned in the documents (I am only mentioning names where the article mentioned potential wrong doings of the individual, and who was not a victim of the abuse themselves, one person mentioned was a victim as well, so I decided to not include her in the list)…

Jean-Luc Brunel: A French modeling agent suspected of scouting girls for Epstein, killed himself in a Paris jail in 2022 while awaiting trial for rape accusations. Virginia Giuffre said in her deposition that she was sent by Maxwell to have sex with Brunel “at many places.” The documents also say that Brunel would bring girls as young as twelve “to the United States for sexual purposes and farm them out to his friends, especially Epstein.”
Bill Richardson: Virginia Giuffre said in her deposition that Maxwell had instructed her to give Richardson a massage.
Glenn Dubin: Mentioned in the documents, with Giuffre testifying that “Ghislaine told me to go to Glenn Dubin and give him a massage, which means sex,” Giuffre said in her deposition.
Alan Dershowitz: Mentioned in the newly-released records. The documents say that Epstein forced a minor to have sex with the former Harvard law professor multiple times. The documents also say that Dershowitz “was an eye witness to the sexual abuse of many other minors by Epstein and several of Epstein’s co-conspirators.
Marvin Minsky: Virginia Giuffre said she was asked to have sex with Minsky when he went to Epstein’s island in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

In another article, Jeffrey Epstein contact names revealed in unsealed documents. Here are key takeaways from the files. , it states that documents were released that included names connected to Epstein.

Here are some of the names mentioned in the documents (I am only mentioning names where the article mentioned potential wrong doings of the individual)…

Jean-Luc Brunel: Accused of helping procure women and underage girls for Epstein and was also alleged to have raped and assaulted women he knew from the modeling world.
Bill Richardson: Virginia Giuffre, who in a previously unsealed deposition said that she was directed to have sex with him.
David Copperfield: Johanna Sjoberg said Copperfield asked her “if I was aware that girls were getting paid to find other girls,” but testified he told her no specifics about that.
Alan Dershowitz: In one of the documents, lawyers discuss sworn testimony by two household employees, one of whom said Dershowitz visited Epstein’s Florida mansion “pretty often” and allegedly got massages while he was there. According to the court document, the other employee testified Dershowitz visited Epstein’s home without his family when young girls were present.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: This article mentioned no wrong doing by him but it is of note that in another article, RFK Jr sexual assault accuser says she chose to speak out after Super Bowl ad , it was stated that a woman named Eliza Cooney had publicly accused Robert F Kennedy Jr of sexual assault when she worked for him as a babysitter in 1998, when she was 23 and he was a 45-year-old environmental attorney.

And in a third article, Who Flew on Jeffrey Epstein’s ‘Lolita Express’ Plane? Full List of People Named , there were names mentioned of some of the high-profile figures who allegedly flew in Epstein’s “Lolita Express” private jet…

🔹Donald J. Trump

🔹Bill Clinton

🔹Kevin Spacey

🔹Chris Tucker

🔹Bill Gates

🔹Prince Andrew

🔹Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

🔹Violinist Itzhak Perlman

🔹U.S. Sen. John Glenn

🔹Former Senate majority leader George Mitchell

I really do wonder, with how Trump is so desperate to hide the Epstein Files and doing all he can to NOT release them or hand them over, I really wonder, could the information that his modeling agency, along with Casablancas’ and Brunel’s agencies, the Look of the Year contests, Trump’s pageants (Miss Universe, Miss USA, and Miss Teen USA), and likely Mar-a-Lago, was used as the pipeline, all be included in the files? Remember, Virginia Giuffre was working at Mar-a-Lago when she was “recruited” by Ghislaine.

We can not and should not let this subject disappear back into the ether. We MUST get those files combed through, by trustworthy people since this regime is NOT trustworthy, and investigate any and all perpetrators, hold them accountable, and if there is enough evidence, charge them and put them on trial in the courts. THE SURVIVORS DESERVE JUSTICE, we can not allow them to slip through the cracks again, these women MUST have JUSTICE
