One of Jeffrey Epstein’s victims has come forward and said one of Epstein’s associates ‘repeatedly’ put her in danger.

Roza told the BBC she was only 18 years old when she was sent to Epstein’s home in Palm Beach by MC2 Model Management.

MC2’s US President, Jeff Fuller, ‘knew exactly where’ she was going, Roza said. Fuller denies knowing that she was going to Epstein’s house.

Roza said that after doing multiple photo shoots at Epstein’s home, she was employed as an assistant to the paedophile sex offender.

It was then that Epstein began raping her.

MC2 has continually denied having any involvement with Epstein, but some of the Epstein files showed that he donated $1,000,000 to the modelling agency in 2005.

‘My agency’s job was to protect me, and they failed. In fact, they put me in danger. And for that, they should be held accountable,’ Roza said.

MC2’s former President, Jeff Fuller, now runs another modelling agency called ‘The Source Models’.

Fuller has not addressed Roza’s allegations, and said he did not know she was being abused previously.

Earlier this year, it was revealed that  ‘recruited models who looked like teenagers’ to avoid scrutiny after his 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a minor.

The dead financier recruited numerous young adult female ‘assistants’ whom he abused through a variety of means, including financially and sexually, and would coerce them into bringing more women into his orbit.

After his controversial 2008 plea deal, which saw him serve just 13 months in an open prison for paying underage girls for sexual services, Epstein shifted his focus to adult women who looked like teenagers—many of them models from Europe and Russia.

Once inside his orbit, the women said they were coerced into performing massages that escalated into sexual demands. Several people said he required at least one such encounter a day, and when no other women were available, he turned to his ‘assistants’. 

Former Russian model Svetlana Pozhidaeva said she was one such victim and was lured into Epstein’s world in 2008 after the dead financier said he could arrange an audition with Victoria’s Secret.

This never happened, and Svetlana, who walked on runways for well-known European fashion brands, was instead abused and coerced into recruiting more young women.

‘It’s been hard for me because for many years I’ve been so embarrassed that I wasn’t underage when I met him. I was in my early 20s,’ she told the Wall Street Journal.

‘I kept thinking that I was at fault for putting myself in this situation.’
