Overview
- The DOJ’s newly released trove includes a 2011 mock contract in which the Paris-based intern calls herself an “apprentice” offering “favors” such as slow stripping, nude posing and full-body massages.
- The document states Epstein would “try his best” to take her to the United Nations building in New York for an excursion where the favors could be provided.
- Emails from 2011–2012 show discussions about recruiting “beautiful women,” with the trainee referencing Russian and Austrian candidates and corresponding with Epstein at age 21 while he was 58 and already a convicted sex offender.
- Reporting from the tranche indicates their communications continued after she left Clifford Chance in 2012, extending until at least 2019, months before Epstein’s federal arrest.
- Clifford Chance says it never acted for Epstein and that the correspondence was unrelated to the firm’s business, while the woman’s attorneys at Boies Schiller Flexner describe her as a victim of his abusive behavior.
