Overview
- Newly released Justice Department records show she wrote, "Come and visit next week, Celina will have 5 friends over," in a 2010 email to Jeffrey Epstein.
- The exchange occurred two years after his 2008 guilty plea in Florida while he was a registered sex offender.
- The documents also capture her replying "Who is this??????" and Epstein identifying himself with "My new hei" and noting he was "at the ranch."
- Separate 2009 correspondence to his probation officer says she was "100% comfortable" with him around her children, and records note an invitation to Thanksgiving dinner.
- She later testified in Ghislaine Maxwell’s 2021 trial that he had an "uncle-like" role in her family, as the broader DOJ "Epstein Files" release draws fresh attention to high-profile names.
