Juliette Rose Bryant

Recruitment in South Africa, alleged abuse across Jeffrey Epstein’s properties, documentary evidence, disputed claims, and unresolved questions

Snapshot

Juliette Rose Bryant is a South African survivor who alleges that Jeffrey Epstein recruited her in Cape Town in September 2002, transported her to the United States and the United States Virgin Islands, and subjected her to repeated sexual abuse between 2002 and 2004.

Bryant was 20 years old, studying psychology and philosophy at the University of Cape Town, and modeling part time when she met Epstein. She says he promised to advance her modeling career through his claimed connections to Leslie Wexner, Victoria’s Secret, and the international modeling industry.

The Butterfly Bureau’s direct interview and evidence investigation provides a primary source for Bryant’s testimony. Her allegations are also preserved in her federal civil complaint, EFTA02731941.

Bryant filed a federal lawsuit against the executors of Epstein’s estate in November 2019. The case ended in October 2020 after she accepted an offer from the Epstein Victims’ Compensation Program. Her allegations were never tested at trial.

Why Bryant’s Account Matters

Bryant’s account describes an Epstein recruitment operation extending beyond the United States.

Her story begins in South Africa during a documented 2002 trip involving Epstein, former President Bill Clinton, actor Kevin Spacey, and comedian Chris Tucker. She alleges that Epstein used his proximity to famous and powerful people to make a fraudulent modeling opportunity appear legitimate.

Her account also describes techniques documented elsewhere in Epstein’s operation. These include paid massage work, promises of career advancement, rapid travel arrangements, dependency on Epstein’s employees, movement between multiple properties, and the use of women to provide a false sense of security.

Bryant’s relationship with Epstein is supported by more than later interviews. The record includes her federal complaint, a 2003 shipping invoice, email correspondence from 2015, compensation proceedings, and a written submission during Ghislaine Maxwell’s sentencing.

These materials corroborate important portions of Bryant’s chronology. They do not independently prove every alleged assault, conversation, threat, or medical event.

The September 2002 Africa Trip

Epstein’s presence in Africa during September 2002 is independently documented.

A contemporary South African report placed Clinton, Spacey, and Tucker at the University of the Western Cape during the trip. An October 2002 New York magazine profile reported that Epstein had flown the three men to Africa aboard his aircraft.

These records support the surrounding circumstances of Bryant’s account. They do not independently prove what happened during her private interactions with Epstein or his employees.

In her civil complaint, Bryant alleged that an American model approached her at a Cape Town restaurant and offered to introduce her to Epstein. Bryant later identified the woman as Naja Hill.

According to Bryant, Hill described Epstein as the “King of America” and said he could help Bryant become a successful model. Hill later denied introducing Bryant to Epstein.

Bryant says she was taken to another restaurant where she briefly met Epstein and members of his traveling party. She has not accused Clinton, Spacey, or Tucker of sexually abusing her or participating in Epstein’s alleged offenses.

Bryant’s 2002 Diary

During the Butterfly Bureau Episode 4 investigation, Bryant displayed a photograph of a diary page that she says dates from September 2002.

The page reportedly contains a reference to “Clinton’s speech,” which is consistent with the documented timing of Clinton’s South African appearances.

The diary may be contemporaneous supporting material. However, the complete original, its chain of custody, and any forensic examination have not been made public. It should therefore be described as material supplied by Bryant, not as independently authenticated documentary evidence.

The Purported Modeling Interview

Bryant says Epstein’s associates arranged what appeared to be a modeling interview at the Cape Grace Hotel.

In her Butterfly Bureau interview, Bryant identified Sarah Kellen, Andrea Metrovich, and Cindy Lopez as women she remembered being involved in the purported interview. She says they presented themselves as connected to a modeling agency and reviewed her portfolio.

Bryant alleges that Epstein later examined the portfolio and suggested that she could model for Victoria’s Secret. In the federal complaint, she alleged that Epstein emphasized his friendship and business connections with Leslie Wexner.

Bryant also recalled Clinton passing through an adjoining space. This is her firsthand recollection. The public evidence reviewed for this article does not independently establish that Clinton was inside the room or knew the purpose of the gathering.

The documented presence of famous people around Epstein would have strengthened the appearance that he possessed legitimate influence. Their presence does not establish knowledge of Bryant’s alleged recruitment or Epstein’s crimes.

The First Massage in Cape Town

Bryant told the Butterfly Bureau that she was later called back to the hotel because Epstein’s massage therapist had supposedly failed to arrive.

She says she was offered approximately $300 to give Epstein a short massage. According to Bryant, the encounter did not initially become overtly sexual.

Bryant recalls Epstein asking whether she had a father, boyfriend, or anyone else who might be protective of her. She believes he was assessing whether someone would notice her disappearance or intervene.

That interpretation cannot be proved because it concerns Epstein’s private intent. However, the use of paid massages to test boundaries and initiate sexual contact is documented throughout criminal records, civil litigation, and testimony from other Epstein survivors.

Passport, Visa, and Travel Arrangements

Bryant says Epstein’s office moved quickly after the Cape Town encounters.

The complaint in Bryant v. Indyke alleges that Lesley Groff began contacting Bryant and helped arrange a passport, United States visa, airline tickets, and travel to New York.

Bryant says Epstein personally spoke with her mother. He allegedly described the trip as a major career and educational opportunity and assured Bryant’s mother that her daughter would be safe.

Bryant had never traveled outside South Africa. She says she had never flown internationally alone and depended entirely on Epstein’s organization for transportation, accommodations, and instructions.

Groff is extensively documented as an Epstein employee who coordinated appointments, calls, travel, and communications. That established role provides important context for Bryant’s account. Groff has denied knowing about or participating in Epstein’s abuse and has not been charged in connection with Bryant’s allegations.

Arrival at 301 East 66th Street

Bryant told the Butterfly Bureau that she arrived in New York on October 17, 2002.

She says a driver met her at the airport and transported her to an apartment at 301 East 66th Street. The building has been connected through public records and reporting to Mark Epstein, Jeffrey Epstein’s brother, and to housing used by people within Epstein’s network.

Bryant alleges that she had barely settled into the apartment when Kellen telephoned and instructed her to pack a small bag for a trip to the Caribbean.

The exact October 17 arrival date comes from Bryant’s recollection. It should be compared against complete immigration and flight records if those records become available.

The Flight From Teterboro

Bryant says she was driven to Teterboro Airport and placed aboard Epstein’s private aircraft without understanding the true nature of the trip.

The federal complaint alleges that Epstein began sexually touching Bryant’s leg after she boarded. In her Butterfly Bureau interview, Bryant recalled Kellen and Andrea Metrovich sitting nearby.

Bryant alleges that Epstein motioned for her to sit beside him and sexually assaulted her shortly after the aircraft took off. She says women traveling with Epstein laughed during the alleged assault.

Bryant describes believing that she could be killed and that her family might never learn what had happened to her.

Flight records can potentially establish an aircraft’s route, dates, crew members, and passengers. They cannot independently prove conduct that occurred inside the aircraft.

Bryant also says her passport was taken. The public evidence reviewed for this article does not independently identify who possessed the passport or how long it was withheld.

Little Saint James

Bryant says the aircraft traveled to the Caribbean and that she was eventually transported by helicopter to Little Saint James.

Her civil complaint refers at one point to Great Saint James, but her later interviews and photographs identify Little Saint James. The discrepancy may reflect a pleading error or later clarification. It should be preserved rather than silently removed.

A CBS News investigation published a photograph supplied by Bryant that reportedly shows her at Little Saint James in 2002.

The photograph supports her presence at an Epstein property. Its complete metadata and chain of custody have not been publicly documented, and it does not establish what happened outside the photographed moment.

Alleged Sexual Abuse

Bryant alleges that she was isolated with Epstein and members of his staff after arriving on the island.

According to her complaint, EFTA02731941, Kellen instructed Bryant to give Epstein a massage. Bryant alleges that Epstein then raped her and subjected her to repeated sexual assaults.

The complaint describes forced oral sex, the use of massage equipment during assaults, and sexual acts performed without Bryant’s consent. Bryant also alleges that she witnessed another young woman performing oral sex on Epstein.

In her Sky News interview, Bryant emphasized that Epstein repeatedly raped her but did not traffic her to other men.

Kellen has denied knowingly facilitating Epstein’s abuse. Representatives for Kellen have also described her as someone Epstein targeted and victimized. Bryant’s individual allegations against Kellen were never decided at trial.

Palm Beach and Additional Young Women

Bryant says she was transported from the Caribbean to Epstein’s Palm Beach residence.

She recalls seeing additional young women arriving and departing and says she gradually understood that Epstein maintained a much larger system.

Epstein’s ownership of the Palm Beach residence and Little Saint James is established. Criminal records and survivor testimony also establish that young women and girls were recruited through massage appointments and moved through Epstein’s properties.

That documented infrastructure supports the setting Bryant describes. It does not independently verify every person she remembers seeing or every incident she alleges.

Continuing Trips Between 2002 and 2004

Bryant alleges that Epstein continued bringing her back into his network between 2002 and 2004.

Her federal complaint identifies travel connected to New York, Florida, Paris, New Mexico, and the United States Virgin Islands. She has estimated that she spent approximately eight weeks with Epstein across multiple visits.

Bryant says the promised modeling career never materialized. She did not receive the New York modeling representation Epstein had allegedly promised.

During her Butterfly Bureau interview, Bryant recalled Teala Davies and Nadia Marcinkova being present during portions of these trips. Davies has publicly identified herself as an Epstein survivor. Marcinkova has been identified in litigation and reporting as a young woman brought into Epstein’s network.

The presence of these women during Bryant’s individual trips should be verified against flight records, schedules, photographs, and correspondence wherever possible.

Paris

Bryant alleges that she traveled to Paris and stayed in an environment connected to Ghislaine Maxwell.

The complaint alleges that Kellen pressured Bryant to pose for nude photographs. Bryant also recalls seeing young women made available to Epstein at different times.

These allegations were formally presented in Bryant’s civil case, but no court issued findings determining what occurred during the Paris trip.

Zorro Ranch

Bryant says she later traveled to Zorro Ranch in New Mexico.

Her federal complaint alleges that Epstein introduced her to an important government official and that she felt she had been brought to the ranch for the official’s inspection.

Bryant later identified the official as former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson. Bryant did not accuse Richardson of sexual contact with her. Richardson denied seeing young or underage women around Epstein and denied wrongdoing connected to Epstein.

Bryant also recalls encountering scientists and other visitors at the ranch. Epstein’s relationships with scientists and academics are extensively documented. That fact does not establish that any particular scientist witnessed or participated in abuse.

The Michael Bay Claim

Bryant told the Butterfly Bureau that she remembered meeting filmmaker Michael Bay at Zorro Ranch and watching Bay’s film The Rock with Epstein and other women.

Other public descriptions of Bryant’s claim have placed an alleged Bay encounter at an Epstein island rather than the ranch. The location discrepancy is material.

Bay’s attorney denied that Bay visited Epstein’s island or conducted business with Epstein. No verified flight record, contemporaneous photograph, court finding, or authenticated communication reviewed for this article independently places Bay at Zorro Ranch or Little Saint James.

Even if a social encounter were eventually established, presence around Epstein would not prove participation in criminal conduct. Bryant’s recollection remains an allegation requiring additional evidence.

Alleged Threats and Intelligence Claims

Bryant says Epstein frightened her by emphasizing his wealth, political relationships, surveillance capabilities, and purported intelligence connections.

The complaint alleges that Epstein told Bryant he had retaliated against another woman who accused him of rape by arranging for drugs to be planted in her residence and causing her imprisonment.

No independently verified record reviewed for this article establishes that Epstein carried out the alleged retaliation. The statement remains important because Bryant says she interpreted it as a threat against herself and her family.

Bryant has also said Epstein claimed he worked with the Central Intelligence Agency. No publicly released record proves that claim.

Whether Epstein’s claims were true or fabricated, Bryant says they convinced her that he possessed the power to punish anyone who exposed him.

Continued Contact and Psychological Control

Bryant says Epstein and his employees continued contacting her after she returned to South Africa.

She describes feeling frightened, emotionally attached, and convinced that keeping Epstein calm might protect her and her family. She says Epstein alternated attention and praise with criticism of her body and appearance.

Bryant has described developing severe bulimia after Epstein repeatedly suggested she was not thin enough or good enough to model. She has also reported panic attacks, anxiety, nightmares, substance misuse, and periods of emotional instability.

According to Bryant, Epstein offered her approximately $4,000 per month to remain available to him and $2,000 for every woman she recruited. Bryant says she refused to recruit women.

No complete payment record supporting these specific offers has been publicly identified.

The 2003 Shipping Record

A Federal Express invoice dated February 3, 2003, EFTA00218194 provides documentary evidence connecting Bryant to Epstein’s New York office.

The invoice records a shipment collected on January 23, 2003, from Cecilia Steen at Jeffrey Epstein’s office at 457 Madison Avenue. The recipient was Juliette Bryant in South Africa. The delivery record contains a signature recorded as “J Bryant.”

The invoice does not establish abuse. It independently confirms logistical contact between Bryant and Epstein’s organization during the period identified in her complaint.

The 2015 Email Exchange

A November 2015 email exchange, EFTA00658463, documents continued contact under Bryant’s identity.

Epstein wrote that he was looking for new assistants and asked whether Bryant knew anyone suitable. The response contained affectionate language, referred positively to past experiences, and expressed interest in occasionally helping him.

Duplicate copies appear in EFTA00840187, EFTA02361698, and EFTA02480676.

These emails are relevant evidence. They demonstrate that Bryant communicated warmly with Epstein years after the alleged abuse.

Bryant has explained that she contacted Epstein during periods of drinking and psychological breakdown. She says she believed he was watching her and remained trapped by fear, attachment, and a perceived need to stay on his good side.

The emails do not independently prove Bryant’s explanation. They also do not establish that her earlier interactions were consensual. Continued communication between an alleged victim and an alleged abuser cannot resolve the underlying allegations without consideration of the complete relationship and surrounding circumstances.

Later Communications and Conflicting Dates

Bryant’s complaint states that Epstein contacted her in 2016 and asked whether she knew Sarah Ransome.

Later reporting placed a similar exchange in January 2017. Without the complete original communication and its metadata, the discrepancy cannot be resolved.

Bryant also alleges that Epstein requested nude photographs from her in June 2019, shortly before his arrest. The allegation appears in her civil account and later reporting, but the underlying message was not among the directly reviewed Epstein Data documents used for this article.

Unresolved Medical Claims at Zorro Ranch

The most difficult portion of Bryant’s Butterfly Bureau interview concerns her memories of an unexplained event at Zorro Ranch.

Bryant says she remembers waking naked and unable to move on a table while approximately six people wearing protective clothing stood around her. She recalls a woman approaching her neck and telling her that everything was fine before Bryant lost consciousness again.

Bryant believes that a scar above her pubic area may be connected to an unidentified medical procedure. She has speculated that her eggs were removed.

No publicly released medical record, pathology report, laboratory record, surgical report, witness statement, or authenticated facility record proves that an egg retrieval procedure occurred.

The evidence supports only the conclusion that Bryant reports a frightening memory involving possible incapacitation and an unexplained physical scar. Whether a procedure occurred, who may have been present, and what caused the scar remain unresolved.

Epstein’s documented interest in genetics and reproduction makes the allegation worthy of careful investigation. His interest in those subjects does not prove that Bryant was subjected to experimentation or egg retrieval.

Underground Facilities and Unusual Lights

Bryant has described unusual lights over Zorro Ranch and has speculated about underground spaces at the property.

No authenticated architectural plan, excavation record, government inspection, or witness testimony reviewed for this article establishes the existence of a secret underground laboratory connected to Bryant’s account.

Unusual lights can have many explanations. A reported observation is not enough to establish the presence of unidentified aircraft or covert experimentation.

These claims should remain clearly labeled as Bryant’s memories and interpretations rather than confirmed facts.

Claims Concerning Epstein’s Appearance

Bryant has publicly described an experience in which she believed Epstein’s face or body appeared nonhuman, demonic, or reptilian.

There is no corroborating evidence that Epstein physically transformed into a nonhuman entity. The claim is not supported by medical, photographic, scientific, or independent witness evidence.

Bryant’s account may reflect a terrifying subjective experience. The public evidence cannot determine its cause.

This claim should not be presented as established fact. It should also not be used to erase the documentary evidence connecting Bryant to Epstein or to dismiss separately documented portions of her chronology.

Each claim must be evaluated according to its own evidence.

The Dubin Paternity Theory

Bryant says Epstein displayed photographs of Eva Andersson Dubin’s daughter at several properties. She recalls seeing the child and has suggested that Epstein may have been the biological father.

The public record establishes a long relationship between Epstein and the Dubin family. It does not establish Bryant’s paternity theory.

Photographs, affection, gifts, or proximity cannot establish biological parentage. Only reliable genetic testing or documentary evidence could resolve such a claim.

Because this allegation concerns someone who was a child, it requires particular caution and should not be repeated as fact.

Bryant v. Indyke

On November 14, 2019, Bryant filed a civil complaint against Darren Indyke and Richard D. Kahn in their capacities as executors of Epstein’s estate.

The case was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York as Bryant v. Indyke, case 1:19 cv 10479.

The complaint, EFTA02731941, asserted claims for battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Bryant sought compensatory and punitive damages for the alleged abuse and resulting psychological injuries.

A civil complaint records allegations formally presented to a court. It is not a judicial finding that every allegation occurred.

The Statute of Limitations Dispute

The estate sought dismissal primarily on statute of limitations grounds.

Its attorneys argued that Bryant’s residence in South Africa triggered New York’s borrowing rules, that her claims were untimely under the applicable laws, and that later revival statutes did not apply.

In Bryant’s opposition to dismissal, EFTA02732143, her attorneys argued that Epstein’s threats, manipulation, and concealment prevented her from filing earlier. They maintained that the estate should not benefit from conduct allegedly used to silence her.

The estate’s reply, EFTA02732227, disputed those arguments and maintained that Bryant had not established a valid legal basis for extending the filing period.

The court never resolved this dispute.

The Discovery Fight

In a May 2020 motion to compel, EFTA02732040, Bryant’s attorneys said that she had produced more than 10,000 pages while the estate had not produced a single responsive document.

Bryant had served 91 document requests and 17 interrogatories. Her requests sought information concerning Epstein’s employees, communications systems, telephone numbers, email accounts, travel, other alleged victims, the Africa trip, and the broader structure through which Epstein operated.

The estate objected that many requests were overly broad, unduly burdensome, or insufficiently connected to Bryant’s individual claims.

Because the lawsuit ended through the compensation program, complete discovery did not occur. Potentially important records were never tested through depositions, evidentiary motions, or trial.

Compensation and Dismissal

On October 15, 2020, the parties filed a joint stipulation of dismissal, EFTA02732318.

The filing states that Bryant accepted an offer from the Epstein Victims’ Compensation Program. Each side agreed to bear its own legal fees and costs.

The dismissal with prejudice prevented Bryant from refiling the same claims against the estate. It did not mean that a judge or jury rejected her allegations.

The court never issued a verdict determining whether the alleged assaults occurred. The amount Bryant received has not been made public.

CBS later reported that Bryant also participated in the 2023 JPMorgan Chase survivor settlement. Participation in a settlement or compensation program is not equivalent to a court verdict or an admission concerning every allegation.

Bryant’s Maxwell Sentencing Statement

Bryant submitted a written victim impact statement before Maxwell’s 2022 sentencing.

The June 22, 2022 submission, DOJ OGR 00010663, states that Maxwell and Epstein caused Bryant lasting panic attacks and night terrors. Bryant asked the court to impose the maximum available sentence.

The submission says Bryant was trafficked from “2022 to 2004.” Her complaint, interviews, and the broader chronology identify the period as 2002 to 2004. The reference to 2022 appears to be a typographical error.

Maxwell’s attorneys objected to treating Bryant as a statutory crime victim under the Crime Victims’ Rights Act. Their argument focused on whether Bryant’s age and the timing of her allegations placed her within the offenses for which Maxwell was convicted.

In a June 2022 court order, DOJ OGR 00010744, the judge declined to resolve Bryant’s formal statutory status. The court instead determined that her written statement could be considered under its broad sentencing authority.

A subsequent order, DOJ OGR 00010751, confirmed that the written submissions were entered into the sentencing record.

Maxwell’s conviction involved charged conduct concerning minors. It did not adjudicate Bryant’s individual allegations.

Recent Public Advocacy

Bryant has become increasingly public about her experience and the treatment of Epstein survivors.

In 2026 interviews, she criticized the release of survivor communications without adequate redaction. She argued that affectionate messages sent to Epstein can be misunderstood when removed from the context of fear, psychological control, addiction, and dependency.

Bryant has also made broad public claims about the deaths of women who testified against Epstein. Virginia Giuffre and Carolyn Andriano were two publicly known survivors who provided testimony or sworn evidence and later died.

No publicly established evidence links their deaths to their testimony or proves an organized effort to silence Epstein witnesses. Bryant’s broader statements should therefore be treated as expressions of concern and fear rather than verified conclusions.

What the Documentary Record Supports

The public record supports several important elements surrounding Bryant’s account.

Epstein traveled through Africa with powerful public figures in September 2002. Bryant had documented contact with Epstein’s New York office by January 2003. Released emails establish later communication. Epstein owned the properties Bryant identified, used private aircraft, and employed staff who arranged travel, appointments, lodging, and communications.

Kellen and Groff held documented roles within Epstein’s organization. Epstein’s use of massage appointments for recruitment and sexual abuse is established through criminal cases and survivor testimony.

Bryant filed a federal lawsuit, participated in the compensation process, and submitted a statement that the Maxwell sentencing court allowed into the record.

These facts establish that Bryant’s account is connected to a documented infrastructure. They do not independently prove every alleged incident.

What Remains Unresolved

The following remain allegations or unresolved questions:

The specific assaults Bryant describes aboard Epstein’s aircraft and at his properties
The alleged removal or retention of her passport
The individual roles Bryant assigns to Kellen, Metrovich, Lopez, Groff, and Maxwell
The alleged offers of money for remaining with Epstein or recruiting women
The alleged threats involving planted drugs and imprisonment
The Paris photography allegation
The identity and role of every person Bryant remembers encountering
The location and circumstances of the alleged Michael Bay encounter
The unexplained event Bryant recalls at Zorro Ranch
Bryant’s belief that an egg retrieval procedure occurred
Claims concerning underground facilities or unusual aircraft
The Dubin biological paternity theory
Bryant’s description of Epstein appearing nonhuman

Acknowledging these evidentiary limits does not erase Bryant’s documented connection to Epstein or require dismissing her allegations. It preserves the difference between what records establish, what Bryant personally reports, and what investigators have not resolved.

Key Takeaways

Juliette Rose Bryant alleges that Epstein used a fraudulent modeling opportunity, his proximity to famous people, and the apparent legitimacy of his female employees to recruit her in South Africa.

Documentary evidence supports her connection to Epstein’s organization, including a 2003 shipment, later email correspondence, court filings, compensation proceedings, and her Maxwell sentencing submission.

Her lawsuit ended without a trial. No judge or jury issued findings resolving her allegations.

Her continued contact with Epstein is part of the evidence and must be reported accurately. It does not independently prove that earlier encounters were consensual or that Bryant’s later explanation is correct.

Several extraordinary claims from Bryant’s later testimony remain uncorroborated. They must be separated from her documented relationship with Epstein and from the sexual abuse allegations presented in her federal complaint.

The most accurate treatment of Bryant’s story neither accepts every statement without evidence nor uses unresolved claims to erase the substantial documentary record surrounding her recruitment and contact with Epstein.
