Ghislaine Maxwell approached me at the spa area.
She was like this really bright, Mary Poppins kind of a figure.
And she said, oh, you're reading a book on massage therapy.
And, you know, we started hawking.
And she goes, oh, you know what?
I know this guy.
There's an opportunity, actually, if you want to become
a real massage therapist.
We can get you trained.
You can come for the interview tonight.
And if he likes you, then you'll be a real masseuse.
And you'll get to see the world, and you'll
get paid $200 per massage.
And, like, no alarm bells went off
because it was this proper English lady
who just looked so nice.
Epstein's victims have talked about how they weren't sure
who this guy was, but because Ghislaine seems so proper,
surely it's got to be legit.
Her posh upbringing, her accent gave
this veneer of respectability.
Coming from a woman, I think that was incredibly
manipulative, and I think it was absolutely critical
in Epstein's operation.
My dad brought me over.
He shakes hands with Ghislaine, who
promises that she'll take good care of me
and she will have someone drive me home.
She led me up a staircase, and we made a right
into Jeffrey's room and Jeffrey laying
naked on the massage table.
Jeffrey lifts his head up, looks at Ghislaine.
Ghislaine looks at him, and I call it the Cheshire cat grin
because his face went like this, and it
was like a nod of approval.
Ghislaine got me quickly into, like, here's the lotions.
Here's the oils.
We're going to each take half of his body,
so you can follow my instructions.
It just looked like a legitimate massage.
Then they also started asking me questions about my life.
I really, really wanted this job, so I opened up to them.
I said, look, this is an opportunity
of a lifetime for me.
I've been on the streets.
I've been abused, and that's the worst thing that I could have
done because I just let them know that I'm vulnerable
and I'm their perfect type.
Ghislaine grabbed one foot.
I grabbed the other.
And she says, you always want to keep one hand on the body
when you're massaging somebody.
And then he turns over, and the entire thing changed.
They said, take off your clothes.
I had these little-girl undies on-- like, little hearts
on them, I remember.
And they were laughing at that because they liked that.
The younger you looked, the better it is.
It turned very sexual, and it was abuse straight
away from both of them.
I got paid $200, and the butler drove me home.
SIGRID MCCAWLEY: They acted very normal about the situation.
They tried to validate what had happened.
From the outside perspective, you
understand the grooming involved in what
transpired in that room--
paying her heftily for the work that had been done, making
it seem like it was appropriate what had transpired,
and then inviting her back again.
The shame was immediate.
I remember sitting at the bottom of my shower
and crying my eyes out.
I'd been on the streets, and I thought,
you know, well, maybe this is the lesser of two evils.
I had the promise of an education,
and maybe this is just how the world works.
If abuse is so prevalent in my life,
maybe that's just what it is.
That's just life.
For individuals who have been sexually abused as a child,
this confirms that they don't have any meaning beyond giving
pleasure to somebody else.
Of course you'd expect them to go back, especially
if there is even a glimmer of hope
that maybe something good will come out
of this because it's a really devastating feeling
to be nothing.
Within the next few weeks, Jeffrey and Ghislaine told me
that I need to quit my job with Mar-a-Lago
because I'll be traveling with them
as their traveling masseuse.
You know, you ask yourself, like,
if I could talk to that 16-year-old girl again,
what would you tell her?
Bloody hell, I'd tell her run for your life.
But at 16, you just--
I don't know.
Yeah, I was very intimidated by these people.
SIGRID MCCAWLEY: What I call it is invisible chains.
I mean, no, these girls were not tied up.
And people will say, well, they kept coming back.
Why did they keep coming back?
These were not people to be crossed.
These were very significant people
with the ability, the power, the wealth to destroy
a life if they wanted to.
