Epstein Survivor Roza Tells House Hearing He Abused Her Under House Arrest

Roza said Epstein raped her for three years after recruiting her through Jean-Luc Brunel, and she testified that abuse continued while he was under house arrest.

  • On Tuesday, a survivor identified as Roza testified before the House Oversight Committee in Florida, detailing how Jeffrey Epstein sexually abused her while he was under house arrest.
  • Recruited from Uzbekistan in 2008 by modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel with promises of a career, Roza was coerced into a situation where she met Epstein for work.
  • While serving a county jail sentence that allowed 16 hours of daily freedom, Epstein subjected her to abuse for three years; Roza testified this "made justice feel impossible."
  • During the hearing, Roza attacked the Department of Justice for leaving her name unredacted in public files, claiming the agency protected "the rich and powerful" while exposing victims.
  • Democratic lawmakers organized the hearing to keep the case in the spotlight, citing reports that a 2008 plea deal enabled Epstein to continue his abuse for almost another decade.
