Model Accuses Former Agency of Exposing Her to Jeffrey Epstein

OPA WIRE, Nov 11 (OPA) — A former fashion model who says she endured three years of sexual abuse by Jeffrey Epstein has accused her former modeling agency of knowingly exposing her to danger. The woman, identified as Rosa, stated that her agency sent her to two photo shoots at Epstein’s Palm Beach mansion in 2009. At the time, Epstein was serving a sentence for sex offenses against a minor but was permitted to leave prison daily for work.

Travel records examined by journalists show that Jeff Fuller, then-head of the U.S. branch of MC2 Model Management, personally booked Rosa's return ticket after her second shoot at Epstein's home. Fuller has previously claimed he was unaware Rosa was being sent to Epstein. Fuller now runs another agency called Source Models and did not respond to requests for comment regarding the findings.

U.S. Department of Justice documents reviewed during the investigation indicate that at least 10 models from MC2 maintained contact with Epstein after his conviction. The files also reveal that Epstein paid MC2 $1 million in 2005. The agency's U.S. branch dissolved a month after Epstein's second arrest in 2019, and Fuller subsequently transferred 50 models to his new agency.

Legal scrutiny surrounding third-party facilitators of Epstein's network continues to grow. New York State Senator Zellnor Myrie has proposed legislation to grant police broader investigative powers targeting individuals who allegedly facilitated Epstein's operations, challenging previous Justice Department decisions not to pursue uncharged third parties.
