Epstein associate who still runs model agency 'put me in danger' says abuse survivor
A woman raped by Jeffrey Epstein says the president of the model agency representing her put her in danger, when he sent her to two photoshoots at the convicted sex offender's Florida beach house.
At the time, in 2009, Epstein was serving a jail sentence for sex offences against a minor but was allowed to work each day from his home.
"My agency's job was to protect me, and they failed. In fact, they put me in danger. And for that, they should be held accountable," she tells the BBC World Service.
Roza was 18 when she was first sent to Epstein's Palm Beach home by MC2 Model Management's US branch, having only arrived in the US from Uzbekistan about a month earlier. MC2's US president at the time, Jeff Fuller, now runs another US model agency called The Source Models.
"My agency knew exactly where I was. So Jeff knew exactly where I was going," says Roza.
She shows us an expense statement suggesting Fuller himself booked her flight home from Palm Beach, following her second shoot at Epstein's home. Fuller has previously claimed he did not know Roza was going to Epstein's house.
She says the photoshoots led to her being employed as an assistant to Epstein. Other survivors have explained how the financier used the recruitment of assistants as an elaborate ruse to allow him to continue abusing young women.
Roza says Epstein went on to systematically rape her.
Fuller has not responded to the BBC's allegations. He has previously said he did not know Roza was being abused.
We discovered through the Epstein-related documents released by the US Department of Justice [DOJ] that 10 models from MC2 met, or were in communication with, Epstein after his conviction.
