Jeffrey Epstein Was "Presented" With Three Poor 12-Year-Old Girls From France As "A Birthday Gift"

Even as the mysteries surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's supposed death by suicide unravel, shocking details of the disgraced millionaire financier and convicted sex offender's life continue to emerge. Recently revealed allegations against the accused sex trafficker claim he once had three 12-year-old flown in from France as a "birthday present" and that he bragged about abusing the underage girls to his alleged "sex slave" Virginia Roberts Giuffre. The allegations were revealed by newly unearthed court documents of a civil suit filed by the Miami US attorney's office in 2015, which sought to overturn Epstein's controversial 2008 sweetheart plea bargain. 

According to a report by The Telegraph, the court papers include a transcript of an interview with Giuffre, who claims to have been recruited as a 'sex slave' by Epstein and his girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell when she was 15. In the transcript, she claimed Epstein bragged about sleeping with the underage girls and that she had seen the girls herself. "The worst one that I heard from his own mouth was this pretty 12-year-old girls he had flown in for his birthday. It was a surprise birthday gift from one of his friends and they were from France. I did see them, I did meet them," she said.

Meanwhile, the Daily Mail reports that Giuffre also revealed that the French girls were a gift from Epstein's longtime acquaintance and frequent guest Jean-Luc Brunel. She claimed the financier had later gloated about how the 12-year-olds—believed to be sisters—performed sexual acts on him. "Jeffrey bragged after he met them that they were 12-year-olds and flown over from France because they're really poor over there, and their parents needed the money or whatever the case is and they were absolutely free to stay and flew out," she said.

"He was so excited about the entire event, replayed over and over again over the next course of weeks how cute they were and how you could tell they were really young. He went on to tell me how Brunel bought them in Paris from their parents, offering them the usual sums of money, visas, and modeling career prospects. Laughing the whole way through, Jeffrey thought it was absolutely brilliant how easily money seduced all walks of life, nothing or no one that couldn't be bought," Giuffre added.

In another civil suit against Epstein, Giuffre alleged that he and Brunel would recruit young girls from South America and Eastern Europe to have sex with him. The suit claims Epstein invested $1million in Brunel's Miami-based modeling firm MC2 in return for a "supply of girls on tap." The model scout is accused of acquiring illegitimate visas for underage girls from foreign countries, who used to be housed in Epstein's brother's apartment in Manhattan. "Jeffrey and Brunel would charge them for rent, forcing them to work for them selling their bodies for money, nude pictures, and even pornography," said Giuffre.

"These were what seemed like really nice people with not so nice intentions setting an impression of how the dignified wealth play and behind closed doors they had as much civilized manners as a barbaric chimpanzee in heat. Giving a girl a step up in finances by teaching them their only worth is what lay between their legs, us girls all were the same in the end, regardless of what country we come from, what language we spoke or our cultural differences, we were all being used for one thing alone, our youthful looks and beautiful bodies," she said in the suit.

35-year-old Giuffre is one of Epstein's most high-profile accuser with her claim of being forced to have sex with Britain's Prince Andrew at the age of 17 becoming a defining part of just how widespread and high-profile the financier's alleged sex-trafficking ring was. Although the royal has repeatedly denied the allegations against him, a photograph of him grinning with his arm around the then-teenage Giuffre's bare midriff has more or less become the face of the scandal.
