Sex trafficking victim reveals she was lured to his island and raped three times a day

In a BBC documentary, a victim of Jeffrey Epstein speaks up for the first time, explaining how she was taken to his private island and forced to visit his ‘ice cold, pitch black’ bedroom, where she was raped up to three times a day as part of his ‘factory’ of torture.

Juliette Bryant, a 20-year-old aspiring model from Cape Town, South Africa, was introduced to the wealthy paedophile, who told her she had the “most gorgeous physique he had ever seen” and promised to fly her to New York to establish her career.

Instead, Juliette was flown on his private aircraft to his Caribbean island, where she became entangled in a sex trafficking ring ‘managed’ by Epstein and ‘operated’ by Ghislaine Maxwell.

Juliette recounts the BBC2 programme House of Maxwell, which begins on Monday night, how she witnessed other victims perform sex acts on Epstein and was sexually attacked by the monster on many occasions over nearly two years. She thinks that she saw 60 girls and women during her stay there.

‘There were things that happened there that horrified me so much that I can’t even talk about them,’ she admits. ‘He thrived off the fright; there was something about a scared girl’s spirit that he enjoyed.’

She also reveals never-before-seen images of Maxwell and an artwork showing a woman being raped by a sea monster that she took on Epstein’s island.

Juliette, who filed a complaint against Epstein’s estate in 2019 saying the billionaire financier raped her many times, stated that she and other victims were frightened to speak out because Epstein intimidated her and her family.

‘It was like being in a factory,’ she adds. He was working a machine, which Ghislaine Maxwell was in charge of. People have asked me why I returned. Nobody dared to defy Epstein.’

Juliette Bryant, a South African from Cape Town, came up for the first time in the new BBC documentary House of Maxwell about being imprisoned against her will on Jeffrey Epstein’s island.

She now wants to shine a light on the industrial nature of the abuse she observed, which included carefully planning visas and travel arrangements for dozens of girls and women from all over the world over a period of years.

‘I simply wanted to be quiet and live my life, forgetting about it all.’ But then I won’t be able to forget about it,’ she replies.

‘I’m tired of feeling humiliated when I didn’t do anything wrong, and I know I’m one of the lucky ones; I know other people have had far worse, and that’s who I want to speak for, the people who can’t speak for themselves.’

Epstein stated that he planned to take Juliette to New York to establish her modelling career, and that he would pay for her visa and plane ticket.

‘I felt that would be the most incredible opportunity of my life,’ Juliette recalls.

Instead of travelling to the United States, Epstein’s staff called Juliette and informed her that she would be flying to Epstein’s island in the United States Virgin Islands. She believed the trip was for a photograph and ‘quickly said yes.’

Juliette recalls being taken aback by the beauty of Epstein’s infamous island when she first arrived. She stumbled upon a collection of discarded disposable cameras, which she used to document her vacation on the Caribbean island.

Photographs of her posing by the docks, shots of the modest chalet where she resided near the port, and a horrific artwork depicting a malformed sea creature clambering on top of a naked young lady are presented for the first time in the documentary.

‘It was a naked female and a giant walrus, and it appeared like the walrus was attempting to rape her; it was a very horrible image.’ ‘I’ve never seen something like it before,’ she says.

‘He had a lot of strange things around his house. There were images of naked girls all throughout the place, and there were a lot of naked pictures of Ghislaine as well.’

However, soon after landing on the island, it became evident that the trip was not going to be the ideal destination shooting she had envisaged.

Juliette was invited to see a film with Epstein and another female. The girl began performing a sex act on the paedophile, much to her distress.
