Juliette Bryant is a South African model and a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking and abuse. She has publicly detailed her experiences in lawsuits, media interviews, and documentaries.
"Simply put, Ghislaine Maxwell is a monster," another survivor, Juliette Bryant, wrote in her brief statement. As in other statements, Bryant also said she was grateful to see the crimes exposed, with the hope of justice finally found.
According to her 2019 federal lawsuit and subsequent interviews:
- In 2002, at age 20, Bryant was approached in Cape Town by an associate of Epstein who promised to boost her modeling career.
- She was lured to Epstein's various properties around the world, including his New York residence, his private island of Little St. James, and locations in Paris and New Mexico.
- Bryant alleges she was subjected to repeated sexual abuse, was isolated, and was forced to participate in nude photo sessions.
- She claims Ghislaine Maxwell helped orchestrate the abuse and psychological control.
- The lawsuit states that Epstein threatened Bryant's family and warned her that accusers were "set up" or jailed.
- Epstein allegedly continued to contact Bryant after she left, including an email just a month before his 2019 arrest asking for nude photos.
- Bryant told The Daily Beast that her meetings with Epstein while he was traveling with Bill Clinton gave him "credibility" and lured her into the operation.
