Scholarship, Money And Opportunities: How Jeffrey Epstein Lured Vulnerable, Underage Girls? Inside His Pyramid Of Abuse

The survivor accounts and newly released documents related to Jeffrey Epstein's world of abuses and inhumane activities involving rich and elite have shed light on the methods used by him and his close associate Ghislaine Maxwell to lure vulnerable and, more often, underage girls into sexual exploitation.

Contrary to the common anticipation, the girls were not inducted into the bad business through random encounters but through what investigators and prosecutors have characterised as a recruitment tactic, "pyramid of abuses."

How did Epstein's 'pyramid of abuse' work?

According to a report by The Sunday Guardian, Epstein and Maxwell used a facade of opportunity and money to lure girls. They used cash, scholarship promise and social connections as bait.

Cash: Maxwell and Epstein would pay hundreds of Dollars to girls for massages. This would eventually turn into sexual abuse.

Social connections: They would lure girls in cities like New York by promising them to connect with influential people and introduce them to elite city circles.

Scholarship, financial help promises: Survivors also revealed that Epstein would also use promises of entry into colleges, scholarship and other types of financial support to develop initial outreach into a deep connection that would turn into sexual slavery for the victims.

A chain of recruitment through new recruits

The report revealed the trafficking network worked on a model where more girls an initial recruit brought for business, the more money she received. This became a cycle as the new recruits, being unaware of the ill intentions of exploitation, would invite and convince their class fellows that they were entering a legitimate job opportunity or a certain creative venture.

The report claimed that Maxwell would act like a friend, a patron or a facilitator, whose work was to make girls feel as if they were chosen. She would make them feel indebted before the abuse started.
