Epstein Survivor Says She Was Drugged and Raped: 'I Have No Recollection of Anything'

Another Epstein victim has come forward, recounting how the disgraced financier sexually assaulted her at his Florida mansion.

A woman said she was 19 when Jeffrey Epstein first assaulted her under the pretence of a massage, which took place at his Palm Beach waterfront mansion. 'I honestly thought, OK, maybe it's just an old rich guy that has a fetish and so be it,' she told BBC Newsnight. 'Whatever. I mean, it paid my rent.'

Speaking under the pseudonym 'Nicky,' the woman agreed to the interview on condition of anonymity. Epstein told her to remove her top and bra before the massage, she said, which was a huge red flag off the bat. That initial encounter would escalate a few weeks later.

Epstein Victim Recalls Escalating Sexual Advances

Epstein's advances were even more explicit on Nicky's return visit, she said. 'So I took my top off just like last time, started at his feet, worked my way up, and when I got to his upper thigh and went on to his chest, he pulled at my jeans, like almost to unbutton them,' she recalled.

Epstein insisted on having sex even after Nicky said she was on her period, which was not true. She decided to 'get the hell out of here' when Epstein started to masturbate in front of her. After she washed her hands in the bathroom, he offered her some water.

'I took some water and I have no recollection of anything for a minimum of 12 hours after that,' she said, believing she had been drugged. She also noted signs that she had sex, even if she could not recall it.

Her fears were confirmed later that day, when Epstein called her for another massage. 'He once again tried to pull up my jeans, and I was like, "no, no, I'm on my period" and he says, "you don't have to lie to me, [Nicky],''' she explained.

Epstein Survivor Admits to Deep-Seated Trauma

Nicky is positive she was raped while unconscious, since that's the only way Epstein would have known she was not on her period. She's been dealing with the trauma since, to the point that she seriously considered self-harm. 'I don't know how I made it,' she stated.

'I have done various psychotherapies to try to remember, to try and have a glimpse of something, and it's black, I have no idea,' she added. 'But I can logically make a variety of assumptions that I think would be very accurate.'

Victims' Identities Exposed in 'Redacted' Epstein Files

Nicky joins other survivors who have come forward with haunting, traumatic accounts of abuse allegedly made by Epstein and his co-conspirators. Unlike Nicky, however, some victims were forced to speak up after their identities were accidentally exposed in the Epstein files.

Joanna Harrison first met Epstein in Florida, and at 18, she had a similar experience. She said Epstein raped her on his birthday, and she was fully conscious. Seeing Epstein's face in the news, years after the abuse, only added salt to her wounds, she added. 'It's abnormal to see your abuser's face on television every day for six years,' she said.

The US justice was compelled to release all information pertinent to the Epstein investigation last November, but it caught backlash because it failed to protect information about survivors. For Nicky, it's also insulting that the law has been labelled the Epstein Transparency Act, which she said glorifies her abuser.

'Why don't you name it the Survivors [Act] or the Virginia Transparency Act or something?' she asserted. 'But no, we're gonna go ahead and continue to glorify this horrific, disgusting person who is a complete monster.'

'I don't think that's too much to ask,' she said, calling for the release of the rest of the Epstein files. 'I would love for us to be able to heal.'
