Page 5 Finally. Victim-1 also has identified several other girls she recruited, including at least one who was a victim and recruiter. We intend to approach additional such victims when the case is overt, after charging. One of those victims has agreed to speak with us, but we are unlikely to be able to meet with her for several weeks because she is about to give birth. he has met with us for live lengthy interviews, during wlnc s e as provided detai e m ormation Florida Victims We have also met with and interviewed two primary Florida-based victims, each of whom has described a generally similar course of abuse. In speaking with them we have focused on individuals who we believe, based on their own accounts and/or phone records, were contacted by co-conspirators located in New York in connection with their abuse, i.e., to schedule massages. Victim-2 Victim-2 was recruited to be a victim when she was approximately 14 years old: she currently recalls having been 14 when she met Epstein. though she stated in a 2007 FBI interview that she believed her interactions with him began when she was 15. Victim-2 estimates that she herself performed more than ten sexualized massages and that she also recruited approximately 20-30 additional girls who were similarly abused by Epstein in Florida. When Victim-2 first encountered Epstein, she was a high school dropout, living away from home and supporting herself financially. She recalls being recruited by a young girl at a party who told her she could make $200 by giving a massage to an older man. Victim-2 agreed to go to Epstein's residence in Palm Beach, and she ultimately participated in at least ten massages, which became increasingly sexual over time. She recalled that Epstein would instruct her to pinch his nipples while he masturbated, and that she was often instructed to take her clothes off and perform the massage while nude. During the massages, Epstein would use a vibrating massager on her vagina, and during at least one incident he put his hand on her genitals. She recounted that Epstein would frequently push things further to see how far he could go. I EFTA 00022560 EFTA02731043
