Warning: This story contains graphic sexual descriptions.
A woman who said she was drugged and raped by convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has spoken publicly for the first time to BBC Newsnight about her ordeal. The woman, known as 'Nicky,' met the disgraced financier when she was 19 years old while working as a model. After giving him a massage at his mansion in Palm Beach, Florida, she blacked out after drinking water he offered, believing she was raped during this time. Encouraged by other survivors, Nicky is calling for the release of all remaining files on Epstein by the US Department of Justice.
In her extensive interview, Nicky described how Epstein's advances escalated over visits, leading to unwanted sexual behavior that culminated in what she believes was drugging and assault. She recalled the distress of waking up with no memory of what happened. Nicky firmly believes that the government must release all documents regarding Epstein's case and demands that the focus shifts to the survivors rather than glorifying Epstein. The public disclosure of Epstein's case remains pivotal for justice and healing for the victims.
