NBC Reporter Horrified By ‘Machine’ Epstein Used To ‘Recruit’ and ‘Commit Horrible Crimes Against’ Underage Girls, Revealed in New Docs
The second batch of unsealed Jeffrey Epstein documents laid out the “whole process” he and accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell employed to commit their “horrible crimes” against underaged girls, NBC investigative correspondent Tom Winter reported.
Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year sentence for her involvement in the sex crimes; Epstein died by suicide in a Manhattan jail in 2019.
Winter explained on Friday’s Chris Jansing Reports about the information that was uncovered.
“I think one of the key things that this focused on is a lot of what was discovered by Palm Beach detectives, especially the lead detective on the case, who is now deceased, Detective Joseph Recarey,” Winter said, continuing:
It had some depositions from him, depositions that I actually had not seen before. We’ve seen his police files before, but we hadn’t seen his depositions. But it’s a lot of kind of similar territory in a great synopsis of what he found over the course of the investigation.
Thirty-three women, the majority of which were under 18, only two of which had any massage experience, and as we know from covering the Ghislaine Maxwell trial, the indictment of Jeffrey Epstein, the idea that these were, quote, unquote “massages” and would often turn sexual, that’s where the alleged sexual abuse occurred.
When you look at this, Recarey really goes through, like, they had a whole process set up to bring in these underage girls. They had no experience. They were recruited. They were brought in, and it matches a lot of the evidence that we heard during the Maxwell trial. It just shows the type of machine in a really horrible way that he had set up to be able to get these women in to commit horrible crimes against them.
The second batch of documents was released Thursday, following the release of more than 40 documents totaling hundreds of pages Wednesday night that named Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and magician David Copperfield in various capacities. None of those mentioned has been accused of participating in the abuse.
The depositions were taken for a lawsuit between Maxwell and victim Virginia Giuffre that was settled in 2017. The release of additional documents is expected in the next few days.
