Virginia Giuffre alleges teenage recruitment at Mar‑a‑Lago and Epstein’s use of sexual leverage on powerful men

Summary

Virginia Giuffre alleges teenage recruitment at Mar‑a‑Lago and Epstein’s use of sexual leverage on powerful men The passage provides a sworn affidavit linking a minor (Virginia Giuffre) to a job at Donald Trump’s Mar‑a‑Lago resort, where she was recruited by Ghislaine Maxwell for Jeffrey Epstein. It names Trump’s resort, Maxwell, Epstein, and suggests a systematic program to procure young girls for “politicians, academics and royalty,” implying potential black‑mail material on high‑level figures. The details (flight logs, specific recruitment tactics, and alleged camera surveillance) give concrete leads for investigators to trace travel records, employment files, and possible victims. While some elements have been reported before, the explicit connection to Mar‑a‑Lago and the claim of a broader network of powerful men adds novel, high‑risk controversy. Key insights: Giuffre was 16 and employed as a locker‑room attendant at Trump’s Mar‑a‑Lago resort.; Ghislaine Maxwell recruited her for Epstein, offering a massage therapist role.; Roberts alleges she was tasked with finding younger girls at malls and other venues.
