There’s simply no turning away from the evil that is Jeffrey Epstein, especially when you turn on the news or scroll on your phone. It seems that every day there are even more heinous acts revealed in the US Department of Justice’s heavily redacted Epstein files, showcasing the countless crimes the convicted sex offender committed against women and children for decades. The latest detail revealed is that Epstein reportedly had some of his young victims send him catwalk-style audition videos in which they appeared in varying states of undress. The footage released from the DOJ shows girls and women with footage of their faces and bodies blocked out.
According to the Daily Express US, the latest batch of materials released by the DOJ shows that Epstein was sent dozens of videos of girls modeling for him over the years. The videos are presumed to be obtained from his computer.
It’s likely that Epstein used these catwalk-style videos to “lure” his victims into “his orbit,” per the US Sun. This newly released video footage makes compelling evidence that the convicted sex offender “tried to pose as a Victoria’s Secret talent scout to coax his victims.”
Charges were brought against French model agent Jean-Luc Brunel, who had ties to the billionaire and was charged for “securing girls and young women” for Epstein, per the New York Post.
The Post reported that it’s unclear just how young the girls were or how many of them were lured by the sex offender in this manner. One redacted video shows “a female filming herself with European-style buildings in the background” while you can see another one “posing in international art galleries,” which suggests that these victims were from all around the world.
According to the US Sun, a woman also is heard speaking Russian to a man who is filming her in the back seat of a car. In another redacted video from the Epstein files, a victim is seen being ordered to “look a little happier” by a man with an Australian accent.
This heavily redacted release from the millions of files available will hopefully help to establish how many victims and survivors exist globally. We can all keep fighting for them to receive the justice they deserve and to see criminal charges brought against everyone involved in the monstrous abuse.
