Epstein Survivor Juliette Bryant Reacts to DOJ Surgery Pic: 'I Was Wearing Those Pants When I Was Taken There'

A South African woman who says she was trafficked by disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein has pointed to a graphic image in newly released Justice Department files, saying the clothing seen in the photo matches what she wore during her time in Epstein's orbit.

Juliette Bryant made the comments on 8 March after reviewing documents tied to federal investigations into Epstein's sex-trafficking network. The image shows a young woman undergoing what appears to be an improvised medical procedure on a table.

Instead, she said she recognised the clothing in the photo and questioned the explanation attached to the image in the files.

'I was wearing those pants,' she wrote on social media. 'But I never had an accident on an RV.'

Bryant Points to Clothing in the Image

The image appears in Justice Department evidence labelled Exhibit 47-B in records tied to the United States Department of Justice investigation into Epstein.

It shows a woman lying on what appears to be a dining table while a man in latex gloves performs a medical procedure under a portable surgical light. A deep wound is visible on the woman's upper thigh or hip area. Medical tools and blue surgical drapes are placed nearby.

Annotations in the files suggest the woman suffered injuries in an ATV or recreational vehicle crash on Epstein's private island in the US Virgin Islands and was treated 'off-site.'

Bryant questioned the explanation, saying she recognised the black track pants with white side stripes seen in the photo and recalled wearing similar clothing when she says she was taken to one of Epstein's locations.

Posting side-by-side images online, she wrote that the pants matched those she remembered wearing at the time. 'Why would they operate in New York if someone was injured on the island?' she wrote.

Questions About Where the Procedure Happened

File metadata suggests the photo dates to roughly 2002 or 2003. Some investigators and online researchers say the room's décor resembles Epstein's New York townhouse rather than his Caribbean island.

That discrepancy has fueled speculation about how the injured woman was transported and whether the official explanation in the files is accurate.

Flight logs from Epstein's private aircraft — sometimes referred to as the 'Lolita Express' — show several trips between the US Virgin Islands and New York during that period.

Bryant said the image could relate to events from the period when she says she was being trafficked through Epstein's network. The Justice Department files themselves do not identify the woman in the photo.

New Reporting Points to Doctors Tied to Epstein

A recent investigation by The New York Times highlighted documents linking Epstein to physicians who allegedly provided medical treatment to victims outside normal hospital channels. The report cited emails suggesting Epstein coordinated 'discreet' medical consultations for people described as 'injured staff.'

One doctor referenced in the documents is Jess Ting, who was then working at Mount Sinai Hospital. Emails cited in the report show Ting informing Epstein that a procedure had gone 'smoothly.'

Another physician mentioned in the files is Eva Dubin, whose medical centre later received donations linked to Epstein. Neither doctor has been charged with wrongdoing, and both have previously denied knowledge of any trafficking activity connected to Epstein.

Bryant's Account of Being Trafficked

Bryant has spoken publicly in recent interviews about being recruited in Cape Town in 2002 with promises of modelling opportunities. She says she was later flown to multiple Epstein properties, including a ranch in New Mexico and the private island in the Caribbean.

Bryant has also said she met several high-profile figures during that time, including former US president Bill Clinton, though she has said she is not accusing him of wrongdoing.

She says she escaped Epstein's control in 2003. Her recent posts about the surgery image have been widely shared online, with supporters calling for the full release of the Justice Department files.
