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.
