A WOMAN CLAIMED she was trafficked to Ireland for “politicians and notable men” before she was taken to deceased former financier and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein’s island, according to an internal FBI email released in the Epstein files.

The claim is contained in a document released as part of a tranche concerning Epstein. It was first reported by the Irish Independent.

Hundreds of thousands of similar documents have been released by the US Justice Department.

The document in question – in which identifying information is redacted, including the woman’s name – appears to be an email from a Threat Intake Examiner (TIE) at the FBI’s National Threat Operations Center (NTOC), to a special agent on 22 October 2024.

In the email, the TIE official said that they had received an email from a woman “reporting an allegation of being a victim of human trafficking involving Jeffrey Epstein”.

The official summarises the email from the woman, which claims that when she was five years old she was “taken from an apartment she was living in and cut in the throat”, before being moved to Fresno in California. The woman then said she was “taken again” when she was 12-13 years old.

She claimed she was taken to Paris and raped by three men. The woman then said she was moved to Ireland. The email summarising the woman’s claims states:

“The men were a part of an organisation that would take naked photos of young girls and used photo where she flew to Ireland for politicians and notable men.

“They would have sex with the young woman and she was taken from Ireland and brought to Jeffery Epstein Island when she was 13 years old.”

The email goes on to state that the woman said that the only way to “get off the island” was to “take naked photos or pose that is why there are so many photos laying around the house”.

The woman claimed that she had reported her story to multiple FBI offices before and officials would get her information then “kick” her out. She is currently in Germany seeking asylum.

The US Department of Justice were legally obligated to make all files related to the investigation into Epstein public following the passing of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. The files show many high-profile figures had engaged with and in some cases been friends with Epstein, including US president Donald Trump.

The paedophile financier was found dead in his cell at a federal jail in Manhattan, New York, in August 2019 while he awaited trial on sex trafficking charges. His death was ruled a suicide.

The DOJ has since said that a million more files potentially related to Epstein have been discovered.
