“Invisible chains is a good way of saying it, it was like I was handcuffed invisibly,” said 43-year-old Juliette Bryant, according to Sky.
“I never told my family, I never told anyone what happened to him until he died.”
Juliette was recruited by Epstein from Cape Town in 2002, as a first-year college student and aspiring model. At just 20 years old, she thought her life would change forever.
“It felt like all my dreams were coming true because our family was struggling financially and I really wanted to try to make a difference for my family.”
Juliette was on a flight to New York on her first trip outside of South Africa, three weeks after she first met Epstein at a restaurant in Cape Town with Bill Clinton, who was there on an official AIDS awareness trip accompanied by actors Kevin Spacey and Chris Tucker.
Barely a few hours after arriving in New York City, she was told she would be traveling to the Caribbean.

A driver dropped her off on the tarmac at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey, and she boarded a private jet where Epstein and the women she says originally recruited her in Cape Town were waiting to fly her to his private island.
“He patted the chair next to him… and then I went and sat there. It was such a confusing situation for a young person. As the plane was taking off, he started touching me forcefully between my legs, and I just freaked out and suddenly realized, oh my God, my family won’t see me again, these people could kill me, you know?”. Those [žene] were laughing. I was really terrified,” she said.
It is unlikely that she was the only young woman Epstein trafficked from Cape Town.
Emails from Epstein’s files show details of flights that carried unnamed passengers from Cape Town to London, Atlanta and New York until the end of 2018.
Juliette says that she was not a victim of human trafficking by other men, but that Epstein repeatedly raped her.
