Roza Gilles recounts abuse and control linked to Jeffrey Epstein | Ukraine news
She describes a monitoring bracelet, coerced undressing, and a guarded workplace. Her account raises fresh questions about long hidden protections.
In the summer of 2009, 18-year-old Roza Gilles arrived in the United States from Uzbekistan, dreaming of becoming a model. She was spotted by a modeling agent with connections to Jeffrey Epstein, after which MC2 Model Management took on the costs of her visa and housing, but imposed a substantial debt on the girl.
After that, Epstein offered her weekend administrative work in his office to sweeten the income. In the office on the 14th floor, Gilles noticed a bracelet on her ankle with a blinking light box – later it turned out to be a monitoring device, and Epstein himself was serving a sentence for involving minors in prostitution.
During one of the first meetings, Epstein asked Gilles to take off her clothes. I froze– recalls Gilles, and the woman approached, began unbuttoning my blouse, removed it and my bra, and left.

Later, Gilles learned that the ankle device was a monitoring bracelet, and Epstein was serving a sentence for cases involving minors. His story remains the subject of numerous conclusions about how the 2008 deal with federal prosecutors worked and whether the system allowed the abuse to continue even during the probation term.
Gilles’s Testimony and Epstein’s Access to Work and Communities
According to Gilles and other victims, Epstein did not stop abusing in the presence of security and in the Florida Science Foundation office on the 14th floor, where uniformed officers guarded the entrances. The office was described as a place with numerous white-noise devices and activity indicating daily visits.
They were immigrants, people with accents who spoke Russian.

In the mornings, Epstein often arrived at the mansion in West Palm Beach, where Gilles would randomly encounter a uniformed officer. After that, she recalls: “After I saw this sheriff, I realized: no matter what you do, this man will never be stopped.”she told CNN.

Later, Gilles became one of several victims whose stories were published as Epstein documents were released. Official reports and materials released after investigations reveal the terms of the release program that allowed Epstein to be at work and in communities outside prison for a period of time.
After moving to New York and achieving financial independence, Gilles changed her life: she got married, moved to the Midwest, and now works as a fitness trainer. She kept her experience private for a long time, but later shared it with CNN in the context of the Epstein files publication, which, in the view of lawmakers and civil rights advocates, should reveal the role of accomplices in Epstein’s crimes.
Now Gilles expresses hope that survivors’ stories will prompt a more open investigation and accountability for those who were in that system. She envisions a future in which other victims and activists work with them to ensure justice and protection for those who became victims of abuses.
DOCUMENTED REFERENCES
Exploring Documented Records
Public interest in the Epstein case continues not only because of court proceedings and testimonies, but also due to the growing body of documented records that help researchers and readers understand the broader context. Beyond legal files and media reports, some independent projects have organized publicly available data connected to Epstein’s activities.
One example is a structured archive of documented Amazon order records, where purchases are cataloged with dates and product details. While individual items do not prove wrongdoing on their own, examining documented information alongside established facts helps paint a clearer picture of the environment and circumstances surrounding the case.
For readers looking to review primary-source style data rather than interpretations, exploring compiled records can provide additional context to the broader discussion.
