Disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein provided Victoria’s Secret clothing to women taken to his island estate – which was run like a brothel by ‘mama bear’ Ghislaine Maxwell, newly-unsealed documents revealed.
Convicted sex trafficker Maxwell made sure there were plenty of young women in rotation for Epstein, keeping them in the same area so they would be ready to be called in to service the pedophile, according to harrowing testimony by one of the pair’s victims.
Sarah Ransome told a New York court she was one of the women abused by Epstein and Maxwell, and that they provided financial support in exchange for sex. She described the scene at Epstein’s island estate as brothel-like, with girls being sent to the financier’s room on rotation for ‘massages’ – the code word for sex.
She said in her deposition: ‘There was a constant influx of girls. There were so many girls. There were girls in Miami. There were guests coming…
‘It’s like, I’m sure if you go into a hooker’s brothel and see how they run their business, I mean, it’s just general conversation about who’s going to have sex with who and, you know — what do you talk about when all do you is have sex every day on rotation?’

Ransome said Maxwell was the manager of the operation, and was the one who made sure there was always another girl waiting to be brought to Epstein.
‘You know, all the girls kind of reported to Ghislaine. Ghislaine was like the mama bear, if you know what I mean. She called the shots; we had to listen to Ghislaine,’ Ransome told the court.
The new documents were previously sealed as part of a 2015 lawsuit between Maxwell and her most prominent accuser Victoria Giuffre.
In her deposition, Ransome said Epstein provided all of the women’s outfits at the island – bathing suits and nightwear from Victoria’s Secret.
Ransome further explained that women would be sent to the pedophile one after the other while he stayed at his island estate.
‘When I was finished, another girl was called by Ghislaine. And when they had finished, another girl was called,’ she said.
‘We were called on, like, a rotation visit for Jeffrey throughout the day and evening… Our rotation changed every day that specific trip we had in December. So, for example, I would be called. Maybe a couple hours when Jeffrey had a little, you know, break, another girl was called.’

Ransome recalled how the women would try to come up with ways to not be called to service Epstein.
She claimed: ‘We tried to hide on different — like, so we wouldn’t have to get called. We’d generally have to sit in the main area. There was like a big pool, the main seating area. There was a big table. We’d sit there and do kind of art on the table, and we always had to be around.’
Ransome also told the court that she once tried to swim off Little St James Island, where Epstein brought his victims, because of his and Maxwell’s demands that she weigh under 56kg (about 123lbs).
‘I tried to swim off the island. I tried to escape from an island during the evening to try and escape from her because if I didn’t lose weight, they would cut me out of their — financially off,’ Ransome told the court.
‘I would lose the place that I was staying at. I would lose my education. You name it. They bullied me with everything, just like they did with the other girls.’
As she explained her time on the island, Ransome stated in the court documents: ‘I would just like to clarify, body massages meant sex, okay? That’s like a key word for sex.
‘So as soon as you stop having sex with Jeffrey and his friends and his girls, you’re out, because otherwise there’s no reason for you to be associated with Jeffrey, because you’re just there to have sex with him.’
Nadia Marcinko, also known as Marcinkova – who was Jeffrey Epstein’s private pilot, is also seen in the pictures, pouting and smiling with girls on the island. She has long been accused of being an accomplice in procuring underage girls for Epstein.

Ransome told the court that she once witnessed Marcinkova and Epstein having sex in plain sight during a flight on his private plane.
She said: ‘The rest of the passengers fell asleep. I pretended to be asleep. Jeffrey then was in his bed on the plane, having open sex with Nadia for everyone to see, on display.
‘Nadia was straddling Jeffrey for quite some time. I watched them both ejaculate with each other. They were having quite a good time together.’
The documents released on Monday are the fourth round of the newly-unsealed materials – adding to a trove of information detailing how the financier leveraged connections to the rich, powerful and famous to recruit his victims and cover up his crimes.
Never-before-seen pictures were also released, showing women including Ransome posing on Epstein’s US Virgin Island home in 2006. They show convicted sex trafficker Maxwell lounging at the home – despite claiming she was not there around that time.
In the latest dump of papers are emails sent by Ransome to DailyMail.com columnist Maureen Callahan in 2016. At the time, Callahan worked for The New York Post and was reporting on Epstein.
Ransome claimed in those emails that Trump had sex with ‘many girls’, including a friend of hers who is not named, who she says also slept with Bill Clinton and Virgin billionaire Richard Branson.
It is claimed that Epstein filmed each of these sexual encounters – and that the woman involved also obtained copies of the tapes.
No such footage has ever been publicly uncovered. The FBI is now under pressure to release hundreds of items of evidence that was photographed during a raid on Epstein’s mansion in 2019 but that was never seized.
A spokesman for Virgin told DailyMail.com today: ‘In a New Yorker report published in 2019, Ransome admitted that she had “invented” the tapes.
‘We can confirm that Sarah Ransome’s claims are baseless and unfounded.’
