A Russian woman shared her story of being recruited into “Jeffrey Epstein’s team.”

Yulia Molchanova met the financier in New York in 2011, when she was 22 years old. During the meeting, Epstein promised to help her enroll in a local fashion institute to study clothing design, The Wall Street Journal writes.

In 2012, Molchanova entered into a sexual relationship with the financier and later moved to New York. Despite multiple promises, the woman never received help with enrolling.

The victim said that the financier gave her no more than $3,000 a month, controlled her spending, and expressed dissatisfaction that she was not attracting new girls. Later, a bank account was opened for her, through which Epstein transferred millions of dollars.

❗️Earlier, Yulia Molchanova was the lead anonymous plaintiff in a class-action lawsuit brought by Epstein’s victims against Bank of America. The victims claimed that the bank turned a blind eye to suspicious transactions through which sex crimes were financed.

📋 In 2019, Jeffrey Epstein was charged with sex trafficking and offenses against minors. He was arrested on July 6, 2019. Prosecutors said there was evidence that between 2002 and 2005, he arranged visits to his home in New York’s Manhattan district by dozens of underage girls. The youngest of them was 14 at the time.
