BBC调查：乌兹别克斯坦模特罗扎称18岁被经纪公司送到爱泼斯坦住所、其后三年遭反复侵害
英国广播公司（BBC）调查报道披露，一名来自乌兹别克斯坦的模特罗扎（Roza，仅用其名）讲述，她18岁那年被模特经纪公司送到美国金融家爱泼斯坦在佛罗里达州棕榈滩的住所，其后三年遭反复侵害。这项调查以纪录片《模特陷阱：揭露爱泼斯坦的关系网》呈现，定于11月16日在 BBC Two 播出。罗扎此前已在美国国会众议院监督委员会民主党议员于西棕榈滩举行的一场实地听证会上首次公开作证。
据罗扎向 BBC 的讲述，她2008年18岁时结识法国模特经纪人让-吕克·布吕内尔，对方许诺给她模特生涯；2009年她来到美国，入行一个月工作寥寥、开始欠债，经纪公司 MC2 模特管理公司美国分部先后两次把她送到爱泼斯坦的棕榈滩住所拍照。当时爱泼斯坦正因涉及未成年人的性犯罪在佛罗里达服刑，获准白天外出工作。她说，拍照之后她被安排做爱泼斯坦的助理，开始工作后约一周即遭侵害，其后三年反复遭强奸。布吕内尔后来被多名女性指控贩运与剥削，2022年在巴黎一所监狱身亡。
BBC 的调查还发现，MC2 旗下至少10名模特在爱泼斯坦被定罪之后与他见过面或通过信；一份费用文件显示，MC2 美国分部时任总裁杰夫·富勒曾为罗扎预订返回棕榈滩的机票。富勒此前曾表示，他不知道罗扎是去爱泼斯坦家；对 BBC 最新提出的提问，他没有回应。MC2 的美国分部在爱泼斯坦2019年第二次被捕后一个月解散。爱泼斯坦2019年8月在纽约一所监狱身亡，生前正等候联邦性贩运指控的审判。以上关于罗扎经历的内容为她向 BBC 与国会听证会所作的陈述。

BBC Investigation: Uzbek Model Roza Says She Was Sent to Epstein's Palm Beach Home at 18 and Abused for Three Years
A BBC investigation has disclosed the account of a model from Uzbekistan, identified only as Roza, who says that at 18 she was sent by her modelling agency to the Palm Beach, Florida, home of financier Jeffrey Epstein and was then abused repeatedly over three years. The investigation is presented in the BBC Eye documentary The Model Trap: Exposing Jeffrey Epstein's Network, scheduled to air on BBC Two on November 16. Roza had previously testified publicly for the first time at a field hearing held in West Palm Beach by Democratic members of the US House Oversight Committee.
According to Roza's account to the BBC, she met French modelling agent Jean-Luc Brunel in 2008, at 18, and he promised her a modelling career. She came to the United States in 2009; a month into the work she had little employment and was falling into debt, and the US branch of MC2 Model Management twice sent her to Epstein's Palm Beach residence for photoshoots. At the time Epstein was serving a Florida sentence for sex offences involving a minor and was allowed out during the day to work. She says that after the shoots she was taken on as Epstein's assistant, that the abuse began within about a week of starting the job, and that she was raped repeatedly over the following three years. Brunel was later accused by multiple women of trafficking and exploitation and died in a Paris prison in 2022.
The BBC investigation also found that at least ten models from MC2 met or corresponded with Epstein after his conviction, and an expense document showed that Jeff Fuller, then president of MC2's US branch, had booked Roza's return flight to Palm Beach. Fuller had previously said he did not know Roza was going to Epstein's home; he did not respond to the BBC's latest questions. MC2's US branch was dissolved a month after Epstein's second arrest in 2019. Epstein died in a New York jail in August 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges. Roza's account above is her testimony as given to the BBC and to the congressional hearing.
