Epstein survivor Juliette Bryant says she was trafficked from South Africa and soon realized “it wasn’t a modeling opportunity, I

Juliette Bryant says she met her Jeffrey Epstein when she was a 20-year-old psychology and philosophy student in Cape Town, South Africa, who modeled part-time.

Her first interaction with the late American sex offender came by chance, when a girl approached her on a night out and offered to introduce her to a man she said was described to her as American royalty.

“She said she knew a man who was here who was the ‘King of America,’ and she was here with Bill Clinton, Kevin Spacey and Chris Tucker. She told me that her best friend, Leslie Wexner, owns Victoria’s Secret and that it would be a really good idea for me to meet them because it could help me with my modeling career,” Bryant told News themezone on Sunday. “So we went to the restaurant where they were having dinner down the street. And sure enough, there they were. Bill Clinton, Kevin Spacey, Chris Tucker, Jeffrey Epstein and some South African government officials.”

Bryant does not accuse Clinton, Spacey or Tucker of any crime, and said his interaction with the men at the table was brief, lasting only about five minutes.

But the next day she received a call from the girl who introduced her, telling her that Epstein would like to see her modeling portfolio.

“Epstein said he thought I would be great for Victoria’s Secret and they left that day, but his office started calling me and getting me a visa and tickets and everything,” Bryant told News themezone. “You know, I didn’t have any money or anything, but they told me don’t worry, they’ll deduct all my expenses from the income I made when I was there.”

Bryant, a South African national, said he was surprised by how quickly Epstein was able to arrange his trip to the United States.

“They got me a visa to come to the United States. It was like a visitor visa… and they got these visas very quickly, which is unusual in South Africa. It’s usually very difficult to get a visa here. And then, basically, within three weeks, I was in the United States,” he said.

Multiple emails in the stretch Epstein-related documents released by the Department of Justice and reviewed by News themezone appear to show a pattern of Epstein assisting or receiving legal advice on obtaining visas for young women to come to the US, including from Eastern Europe.

Earlier this month, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced that the Polish government would create an analytical team to examine whether Polish children were being abused through criminal networks connected to Epstein. Tusk also said that “the links between Epstein and the entire pedophile ring and the Russian special services” would be investigated.

Bryant said that very soon after arriving in New York, he was told he would be heading to the Caribbean, to Epstein’s private island.

“I obviously assumed it was for a modeling shoot,” she said. “We went to the Teterboro airport and they were waiting on the plane there, and you know, nothing was ever checked at any of these airports. They didn’t check our passports, our luggage, anything.”

Bryant said they took her passport on board and then sexually assaulted her.

“When the plane took off, he [Epstein] He started touching me hard between my legs and I got scared. I realized this is not a modeling opportunity, I’ve been kidnapped,” Bryant told News themezone. “I was rushed to the island and then I was stuck there. “They never organized any modeling opportunities, they basically ripped me off completely.”

Bryant said that for the next few years of her life, Epstein trafficked her. His account of where he met Epstein aligns with a period during which Epstein lent his plane to former President Bill Clinton as part of a Clinton Foundation trip to Africa.

Bryant was ultimately compensated as part of both the Epstein Victim Compensation Program in 2020 and a separate agreement with JP Morgan Chase in 2023.

Public flight records reviewed by News themezone show Clinton took a nine-day trip to Africa with actors Spacey and Tucker, on Epstein’s private plane, in September 2002, visiting Ghana, Nigeria, Rwanda, Mozambique and South Africa.

KFF Health News reported at the time that Clinton, Tucker and Spacey were on a Clinton Foundation trip to “promote efforts to fight HIV/AIDS and economic development.”

In a sworn deposition to the House Oversight Committee in January, Clinton said Epstein offered the use of his private plane for himself, his staff and his Secret Service in support of the Clinton Foundation’s philanthropic work between 2002 and 2003.

Clinton denied ever visiting Epstein’s private island in the US Virgin Islands, where several of the late financier’s crimes occurred, and maintained that she had not been in contact with the convicted pedophile for more than a decade before his arrest in 2019.
