customer. Her usual salesperson wasn't there, so I helped her.
Ghislaine was electrifying. We hit it off immediately. In
this first meeting we spoke of our mutual love of fashion, of
difficult fathers and formal upbringing, of boyfriends and of
how we both saw New York as a chance to start over. She told
me that her boss, who I later came to understand was Jeffrey
Epstein, was close friends with Lex Wexner, the CEO and founder
of The Limited, which owned Henri Bendel at the time.
When she completed her purchases, I offered to deliver
them to her so she didn't have to carry them around all day.
This was a courtesy I frequently extended to my high-end
clients. Later that day, I called her office for delivery

the store. When I arrived, the hotel concierge told me
Ms. Maxwell was in the bar and wanted me to meet someone. It
was Jeffrey Epstein. That night in the hotel was the first of
many times they sexually assaulted me.

Bendel, but I started to crack. I failed a course that was

created position at the store, and it would have required me to
leave FIT a semester short of completing my degree. I had
