Beschrijving

This FBI FD-302 memorializes a December 4, 2019 proffer interview with a heavily redacted woman who described both financial and sexual dimensions of her relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. She told investigators that in late 2018, after financial stress connected to apartment renovations and after public reporting on Epstein had already intensified, she met Epstein at his New York residence and explained her financial situation. Epstein allegedly called his accountant Richard Kahn during the meeting and arranged for $250,000 to be wired to her, telling her not to tell anyone about the money. She also described receiving another large payment from Epstein, bringing the total to $350,000 between 2013 and 2018. The document also places Lesley Groff in the chain of contact, with the woman saying Groff told her to come meet Epstein if she was in New York. The woman said she did not initially connect the money to press scrutiny or the Miami Herald reporting, portraying Epstein’s payment as part of his broader pattern of financial control and “generosity,” though the timing is obviously significant. The most disturbing portion of the interview centers on the woman’s description of Epstein’s sexual control, coercion, and abuse across multiple locations, including Palm Beach, New York, Paris, New Mexico, and his island. She said Epstein directed her sexually, woke her by touching her, summoned her to sleep in his bed, dictated how she should touch him, controlled aspects of her appearance, and made her feel she had no meaningful choice. She described one Palm Beach gym encounter as an aggressive rape, saying Epstein turned the music up, closed the hurricane shutters, pulled down her pants, and had intercourse with her. She also placed Ghislaine Maxwell directly inside the sexual machinery, saying Maxwell was present during an early encounter, touched her, instructed her where and how to touch Epstein, made sexually explicit comments, and helped normalize Epstein’s demands. The interview also describes Maxwell’s broader household authority: approving bills, running Epstein’s homes, overseeing staff and logistics, and creating an environment where the woman felt isolated, ashamed, dependent, and unable to tell anyone because her friends, work, lawyers, housing, and relationships were all tied back to Epstein’s world. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: EFTA01246595.pdf [https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%209/EFTA01246595.pdf]

Surviving Jeffrey Epstein: Teala Davies (6/7/26)

Teala Davies alleges that Jeffrey Epstein sexually abused her beginning when she was 17 years old, after luring her in under the guise of offering support and mentorship. She claims Epstein flew her around the world on his private jet and brought her to his properties in New York, New Mexico, Florida, Paris, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, where the abuse took place repeatedly. Davies says the sexual abuse was not only frequent but psychologically damaging, leaving her with lasting trauma and a sense of dependence that made it difficult to escape. Davies also alleges that Epstein transported her internationally as part of his trafficking network, presenting her as part of his entourage while continuing the abuse behind closed doors. She says the relationship was marked by coercion rather than consent, and that she experienced ongoing trauma as a result. Her legal complaint outlines long-term emotional damage, citing flashbacks, dissociation, and a persistent fear of retaliation. She has stated that the abuse only stopped when Epstein abruptly severed ties with her, leaving her to deal with the psychological wreckage on her own. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: Jeffrey Epstein photo: Alleged teen victim Teala Davies seen with Epstein in helicopter flying over U.S. Virgin Islands - CBS News [https://www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey-epstein-sued-teala-davies-accuses-epstein-of-sexually-abusing-her-photo-shows-them-helicopter/]

Ghislaine Maxwell Seeks A Summary Judgement Against Virginia Roberts (Part 5) (6/6/26)

In the defamation case Virginia Giuffre brought against Ghislaine Maxwell beginning in 2015, Maxwell responded with a motion for summary judgment—arguing that Giuffre’s allegations were not legally defamatory and that Maxwell was entitled to judgment as a matter of law. That motion aimed to avoid a trial by asserting that even if all of Giuffre’s allegations were true, they did not meet the legal threshold for defamation. The motion, along with supporting documents, was filed under seal during pre-trial proceedings. Ultimately, the district court did not grant the motion, and the case was later settled out of court under confidentiality terms in 2017. When third parties later moved to unseal portions of the sealed record, particularly filings related to the summary judgment motion, the courts determined that these materials were judicial documents subject to a strong presumption of public access. A federal appeals court ordered their partial release because Maxwell had not shown sufficient reasons to overcome the public’s right of access. In other words, although Maxwell sought to dispose of the case quietly and legally via summary judgment—and shield that process from public view—those efforts were rejected, and important portions of the case were ultimately made part of the public record. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: Epstein Docs - DocumentCloud [https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6250471-Epstein-Docs]

The Pam Bondi Congressional Oversight Committee Epstein Related Transcript (Part 6) (6/7/26)

Pam Bondi’s congressional transcript showed her trying to defend the Justice Department’s handling of the Epstein files while repeatedly distancing herself from the day-to-day mechanics of the review. She told House Oversight lawmakers that Todd Blanche was the official “in charge” of the Epstein records process, saying she did not personally conduct the document review and that the work had been delegated to him. Bondi acknowledged that mistakes were made, including redaction problems, but framed the release as a massive and difficult undertaking rather than a deliberate attempt to obstruct transparency. At the same time, she insisted the department was committed to accountability, even as lawmakers pressed her on why the disclosures remained incomplete, flawed, or slow-moving. The transcript also showed Bondi trying to avoid directly blaming Blanche while making clear that he was the person managing the release. She praised him as ethical and capable, but Democrats seized on her answers as evidence that Blanche, along with other DOJ and FBI officials, should be brought before Congress to explain the process in detail. Bondi also said she learned about Ghislaine Maxwell’s prison transfer from news reports, denied involvement in that decision, rejected the idea of a Maxwell pardon, and refused to discuss private conversations with Donald Trump. The result was a transcript that did not settle the Epstein files controversy, but instead widened the accountability fight by making clear that Congress still does not have a clean answer on who controlled the review, why errors happened, and whether the public has truly received the full record. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: Final-Bondi-Transcript.pdf [https://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Final-Bondi-Transcript.pdf]
