Summary
Anya told the BBC Jeffrey Epstein ran a roughly 12-woman "assistant" system in which women were housed by him, kept on call around the clock and repeatedly sexually abused.
Years of control rested on grooming, she said: false promises of modeling work, financial dependence, monitored phones, isolation from friends, and degrading pressure that included unnecessary surgery and demands for nude photos.
A released email trail later convinced Anya she had been strung along for nearly a year before her first assault in Palm Beach, where she says Epstein attacked her while serving his 2008 sentence.
She said Epstein also enforced obedience with blackmail-like tactics, including filmed topless "photoshoots," forced "gratitude letters," and a $700,000 bill shown after one assistant fled.
Anya said she is speaking out to show adults can also be groomed and trafficked, echoing former assistant Sarah Kellen's account and adding to scrutiny of the wider network around Epstein.
