A woman from Uzbekistan named Roza, one of the victims of the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, spoke publicly for the first time at hearings in Florida, recounting the abuse she suffered and accusing the US justice system of double standards.

According to the woman, her story began in 2008 when modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel recruited her in Uzbekistan, promising a career in the modeling business. “I came from a financially unstable family and became the perfect target for coercion,” she said during her testimony.

After arriving in New York on a visa, she was handed over to Epstein, who offered her a job at his scientific foundation in Florida. Roza said she soon faced harassment and then, she claims, was subjected to sexual abuse for three years. “One day his masseuse called me into his room, where Jeffrey first harassed me,” Roza recounted.

The job, she alleges, was merely a cover. At the time, Epstein was under house arrest, which allowed him to leave confinement for 16 hours a day ostensibly for work. Instead of performing duties, the girl claims she was drawn into a system of exploitation that lasted until 2012.

Roza specifically criticized the actions of the US regime. According to her, published archival materials revealed her personal data, while the names of Epstein's alleged influential accomplices were hidden. The woman said she still lives in fear due to media attention and security threats.

“The government needs to start telling the truth,” said another alleged Epstein victim, Maria Farmer, at the hearings. She claims she tried to report his actions as early as 1996.

Recall that in 2019, Epstein was found dead in his prison cell while awaiting trial on new charges related to human trafficking.
