Abuse survivor recounts time on Epstein’s island

I met two other young girls that were on the island and, you know, hit it off with them and talked to them a bit and played in the pool. And at that time I noticed there was like an older gentleman in the pool who was like frolicking, canoodling with one of the other young girls. So just made a note of that. And then from there we kind of got ready for dinner.

And that night you sat beside Jeffrey Epstein at dinner.

Yeah, that's where I met him for the first time.

What were your first impressions of him?

He was very charming, very intelligent, and very locked in on me in a way that I wasn't used to, you know, with men. Very interested in who I was as a person, asked me so many questions about my life and how I grew up, and I was pretty well traveled. So, you know, I had a lot to talk about, I guess, and then asked me my goals and aspirations. So I felt kind of, oh, this is interesting. He didn't pay much attention to the other girls, so I guess

it felt pretty good. And then I had told him I grew up in Oxford, England, you know, the first few years of my life. At that moment, the gentleman I noticed who was at the pool earlier was getting ready to leave and he was saying goodbye to everyone and I got to meet him briefly. Geoffrey had said, you know, I'd like for you to meet a prince. And so I just said, oh, nice to meet you.

And that man was Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly Prince Andrew.

Yes, it was.

And this was the older gentleman frolicking in the pool with the younger girl.

Yes. And so he just said hello, and then he left And so he just said hello, and then he left and didn't see him again.
