More Epstein files are released as sickening details emerge from victims’ testimony in the sex offender’s grand jury records.
Sordid new details about Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young girls have emerged after the US Department of Justice released additional files tied to the disgraced financier’s long‑running network of exploitation.
The latest batch of documents, released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, mainly consists of grand jury transcripts from cases against Epstein and his longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell.
The material includes firsthand testimony from victims and FBI agents who interviewed accusers over decades, and offers some of the most chilling insights yet into the patterns of abuse that prosecutors allege took place.

Graphic Victim Testimony Reveals Recruitment And Grooming
One document from a 2007 grand jury hearing contains testimony from a woman who said she was recruited by Epstein at about age 16 to bring him other girls, the Daily Mail reported.
She told the court that during a massage, she was naked and Epstein tried to fondle her. When she refused, the woman said he brought her into a scheme to recruit underage girls who were more “willing,” paying her $200 for each referral.
“There were a few girls he wasn’t crazy about. He didn’t really like. He didn’t favor [redacted] for instance, 23, he thought she was kind of too old,” the unidentified woman testified.
“The more you did is the more you make. Basically, the more clothes that come off, the more you let him touch you, the more you just let him have his way with you is the more that you would make, otherwise, you would be demoted down to bringing girls over and just making money that way," she added.
Another document from Epstein’s 2019 trial includes testimony from an FBI agent about a 14‑year‑old girl who was promised $300 to give Epstein a massage at his Palm Beach mansion.
The agent said that when the girl arrived, she was asked to strip to her underwear and perform acts on Epstein while he lay on a massage table.

Grooming From A Young Age And Maxwell’s Role
The Saturday release also includes testimony from a November 19, 2019, grand jury hearing in the federal case against Maxwell.
An FBI agent described how a 13‑going‑on‑14‑year‑old met Epstein and Maxwell at summer camp in 1994 at the Interlochen Center for the Arts in Michigan.
The agent said Epstein and Maxwell interrupted the girl while she was talking with friends and later ingratiated themselves into her life by visiting her family’s home and saying Epstein “gives scholarships” and “likes to mentor people,” according to the agent’s testimony.
The girl told the FBI she was treated to movies and shopping, which she described as “grooming.”
When Epstein learned she wanted to become an actress and model, he told her he “was best friends with the owner” of Victoria’s Secret before pulling her into his lap, exposing himself and abusing her, the agent said.
A review of the transcripts shows that he used the Victoria’s Secret line on other girls expressing interest in modeling to impress them and portray himself as someone who could make their dreams come true.
Maxwell appears throughout the documents as actively involved. Grand jury testimony suggests she was often topless around underage girls at Epstein’s Palm Beach pool, and that she groped victims while directing them on how to “please Epstein” during massage sessions.
In one transcript, Maxwell told a girl she would “get in trouble” if Epstein didn’t receive his daily massage, an apparent attempt to guilt the girl into compliance.
Further Disturbing Patterns Of Exploitation
An FBI agent also recounted speaking to a 14‑year‑old girl introduced to Epstein and Maxwell by her then‑17‑year‑old boyfriend in 2001.
The boyfriend had asked if she wanted to “massage an old man and she would be paid money in return for that,” the agent said.
According to the outlet, the girl agreed and arrived at the late financier's home. She was then taken to a massage room that had several racy pictures on its walls, including some of Maxwell.
Epstein soon came into the room and the girl and Maxwell began massaging him before he turned over and "they had sex," the agent stated.
After this, the teen became a frequent guest at Epstein's residence and would bring other girls around after both he and Maxwell specifically "asked if she could bring younger girls" and promised that she would "earn more money" if she did.
The agent disclosed that the young girl ended up dropping out of school at the age of 14 and would use the money she got from Epstein and Maxwell to buy drugs for her and her boyfriend.

High-Profile Names Included
The lengthy files don’t just expose police reports and early victim statements - many of which were once sealed or blacked out.
They also contain pictures of high-profile celebrities and political figures, including former President Bill Clinton.
One controversial image shows Clinton relaxing in a hot tub. Another shows him swimming with Ghislaine Maxwell and an unidentified woman.
While Clinton has never been accused of any abuse by Epstein’s victims, and has always denied knowing about Epstein’s crimes, the photos have caused a stir online.

Donald Trump is also mentioned in the documents, although less frequently. In one court filing, a victim said Epstein introduced her to Trump at Mar-a-Lago back in the 1990s when she was just 14 years old.
She claimed Epstein elbowed Trump and said, “This is a good one, right?” She recalled the president, now 79, smiling and nodding as both men “chuckled.” The girl said she felt uncomfortable but did not accuse Trump of any abuse. Trump has denied all wrongdoing.
Prince Andrew, now known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, also appears in a picture lying across five redacted people while Maxwell smiles in the background. He has repeatedly denied any misconduct.
Other celebrities named in the documents include Michael Jackson, Mick Jagger, Diana Ross, and Chris Tucker.
Photos also show Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, Woody Allen, Steve Bannon, and Qatari royal Sheikh Jabor Bin Yousef Bin Jassim Bin Jabor al Thani.
The DOJ has emphasized that inclusion in the files does not indicate criminal behavior.
