Epstein’s Cape Town ‘survivor’ sends message to Melania Trump [watch]

Juliette Bryant, the Cape Town model who claimed to have survived being trafficked and sexually assaulted by the late Jeffrey Epstein over two years, has sent a message to Melania Trump.

The wife of US President Donald Trump has denied having a relationship or business links to the convicted sexual offender, who killed himself in 2019.

In January, the US Department of Justice released over 3 million pages of documents – referred to as the Epstein files – which also implicated his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently imprisoned in Texas.

The bombshell documents contained thousands of images, court findings, and email correspondence.

Melania’s name is mentioned in email correspondence with Maxwell.

MELANIA TRUMP DISTANCES HERSELF FROM JEFFREY EPSTEIN

In a recent statement, US First Lady Melania Trump distanced herself from any relation to Jeffrey Epstein. This, despite several images of her, President Trump, Ghislaine Maxwell and the late sexual offender, indicating otherwise.

Melania claims that she and Donald were invited to parties in the same social circles as Epstein and Maxwell. Her name was also mentioned in the Epstein files in an email to Maxwell.

She shared: “To be clear, I never had a relationship with Epstein or his accomplice, Maxwell.  My email reply to Maxwell cannot be categorised as anything more than casual correspondence.  My polite reply to her email doesn’t amount to anything more than a trivial note. 

“I am not Epstein’s victim.  Epstein did not introduce me to Donald Trump.  I met my husband, by chance, at a New York City party in 1998.  This initial encounter with my husband is documented in detail in my book”.

Melania went on to detail when she met Epstein and that she had “no knowledge of his criminal undertakings”. She also denied being involved in his syndicate of trafficking women from around the world.

She continued: “Numerous fake images and statements about Epstein and me have been circulating on social media for years now.  Be cautious about what you believe.  These images and stories are completely false.       

“The false smears about me from mean-spirited and politically motivated individuals and entities looking to cause damage to my good name to gain financially and climb politically must stop”.

CAPE TOWN SURVIVOR:  ‘EVERYTHING I’VE SAID IS TRUE’

Melania Trump’s statement has been met with backlash from women who claim to be victims of Jeffrey Epstein. 

In a statement, 13 women accused the First Lady of “a deflection of responsibility and not justice”.

One of the women who signed the statement is Cape Town model, Juliette Bryant.

In a video, Bryant addressed Melania about her call for victims to testify about their experiences.

She said: “Everything I’ve said is true. Unfortunately, a lot of the girls who testified have died. Maybe it’s about time that you and your husband testified too.”

In February, the brunette woman shared her experience of allegedly being trafficked and sexually assaulted by Epstein, who had an apartment in the city.

Bryant claims she was lured at the age of 20 years old in 2002 by a woman who claimed Epstein was wealthy and the “King of America”. She claimed to have attended a model casting and a star-studded dinner attended by Epstein himself.

Soon she was on a flight to New York before being diverted on a private jet to the Caribbean’s Little Saint James – also known as Epstein Island –  where alleged sexual abuse and trafficking took place.

The brunette woman claimed that she was sexually assaulted on the plane by Epstein.

At Epstein Island, she met other girls who had allegedly been trafficked from countries like Brazil, Romania, France, and Spain. She claims she was repeatedly raped over two years.

Bryant stated that she was eventually offered money to recruit girls for him, which she denied.
