Overview
- Emails in the Epstein Files show Ferguson travelled to Palm Beach and met Epstein at the Florida Science Foundation office in April and May 2009 while he was on a generous work‑release arrangement.
- The correspondence includes messages in which Ferguson thanked Epstein, called him “a legend,” and sought further meetings to discuss her Mothers Army charity and business ideas.
- Victim testimony to Congress and statements from Epstein’s former assistant, Sarah Kellen, say Epstein offered jobs at the foundation and that abuse occurred at the Florida Science Foundation premises while he was on work release.
- Records and reporting also link other senior figures to Epstein’s Palm Beach operations, including calls and a Skype session involving Lord Peter Mandelson, though no criminal charges are newly asserted against Ferguson.
- Ferguson’s spokesman says she regrets the association, was deceived by Epstein’s lies, cut off contact once she learned of the allegations, and has expressed support for victims as the released documents and testimony renew reputational scrutiny.
