A 15-year-old Swedish girl was allegedly confined to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s private island and kept there as a sex slave, it has been claimed in newly unsealed court documents.
The horrific allegations were made by a butler who worked for hedge fund billionaire Glenn Dubin and his wife, Eva Andersson-Dubin.
During a 2016 deposition which was revealed publicly for the first time on Friday, the butler, Rinaldo Rizzo, tearfully described seeing a 15-year-old girl in his boss’s kitchen in 2005.
Rizzo testified in the deposition that the girl was brought to the home by Andersson-Dubin, a former Miss Sweden who once dated Epstein.
The butler said that the girl reminded him of other girls he saw at Epstein’s home, according to The Daily Beast.
A butler who worked for hedge fund billionaire Glenn Dubin and his wife, Dr. Eva Andersson-Dubin, testified in court that Andersson-Dubin once brought a 15-year-old Swedish girl to their house. The girl allegedly told the butler, Rinaldo Rizzo, that she was a ‘sex slave’ for Jeffrey Epstein
Rizzo said the girl sat in a stool next to a kitchen counter in the Dubins’ home. She was ‘distraught and shaking…literally quivering’ as she described her treatment at the hands of Epstein’s alleged madam, Ghislaine Maxwell, and his assistant, Sarah Kellen, in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
‘She sat down and sat in the stool exactly the way the girls that I mentioned to you sat at Jeffrey’s house, with no expression and with their head down,’ Rizzo testified.
According to Rizzo, he introduced himself and his wife to the teen after Andersson-Dubin stepped out of the kitchen for a few moments.
‘She doesn’t really respond,’ Rizzo testified.
‘Nothing verbal, no cues, her head is still down.
‘I asked her if she would like some water, tissue, anything, and she basically doesn’t respond.’
Rizzo testified that he then tried to make small talk with the teen.
‘Oh, by the way, do you work for Jeffrey?’ he asked her.
‘Yes,’ the 15-year-old replied.
‘What do you do?’ he asked.
‘I’m Jeffrey’s executive assistant, personal assistant,’ she said.
Rizzo said she appeared way too young for that. He then asked her how she got the job and her age.
‘And she says to me, point blank, “I’m 15”,’ Rizzo testified.
‘And I said to her, “You’re 15 years old and you have a position like that?”
‘At that point she just breaks down hysterical, and I feel like I just said something wrong, and she will not stop crying.’
Rizzo testified that at this point he and his wife tried to console the young girl.
He said they offered her tissue and water, but this did not help calm her down.
‘And then in a state of shock, she just lets it rip, and what she told me was unbelievable,’ Rizzo testified.
The Dubins are friends with Jeffrey Epstein, the wealthy pedophile who has pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking girls as young as 14 years old. Epstein is seen left with his alleged madam, socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, in March 2005 in New York City
‘She proceeded to tell my wife and I… “I was on the island and there was Ghislaine, and there was Sarah,” and she said, “They asked me for sex. I said no”.’
Rizzo then said: ‘She didn’t specify who asked for sex. She said they asked for sex.’
According to Rizzo, after the young girl refused to have sex, Kellen took the young girl’s phone and passport and gave them to Maxwell.
‘And at that point, she said she was threatened,’ Rizzo testified.
‘And I said, “Threatened?”
‘She says, “Yes. I was threatened by Ghislaine, not to discuss this”.’
After Rizzo asked the girl if she spoke to her parents, ‘She says, “I’m not supposed to talk about this”.’
Rizzo testified that the teen told him Epstein threatened her to keep quiet about what she knew.
‘The word she used was sex,’ he testified.
As far as the girl’s emotional state was concerned, Rizzo said that she was ‘shaking uncontrollably.’
Rizzo testified that the girl stopped answering questions once she realized that someone was heading toward the kitchen.
It was Eva Andersson-Dubin, according to Rizzo.
‘Eva comes in and tells her that she will be working for Eva in the city,’ Rizzo testified.
‘As a nanny.’
Rizzo testified that he saw the girl about a month later on board a flight with the Dubin family to Sweden.
Maxwell (left) and Eva Anderson Dubin attend an event in New York City in October 2005. The new revelations were made in unsealed court documents from a civil lawsuit brought against Maxwell by Virginia Roberts Giuffre, one of Epstein’s alleged ‘sex slaves’
She was dropped off at an airport in the Scandinavian country, according to Rizzo.
Rizzo testified in a deposition which was part of a defamation lawsuit brought by Virginia Roberts Giuffre against Maxwell.
The case was settled in 2017, but 2,000 pages of documents from the proceedings were ordered unsealed on Friday by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
Giuffre, who alleged that she was Epstein’s and Maxwell’s ‘sex slave,’ accused Glenn Dubin of participating in the sex-trafficking ring, according to court documents.
Dubin has denied the allegations.
Epstein has pleaded not guilty to criminal charges of sex trafficking in girls as young as 14, from at least 2002 to 2005.
Maxwell has not been criminally charged. Reuters was not immediately able to reach Maxwell for comment.
The documents were released after the appeals court rejected her bid to keep them under seal.
‘Glenn and Eva Dubin are outraged by the allegations in the unsealed court records, which are demonstrably false and defamatory,’ a spokesperson for the family told The Daily Beast on Friday.
‘The Dubins have flight records and other evidence that definitively disprove that any such events occurred.’
Glenn Dubin is the billionaire co-founder of Highbridge Capital Management. His net worth is valued at $2.1billion, according to Forbes.
In 1994, he married Eva, a former model who became a doctor.
After she survived breast cancer, the couple donated millions of dollars to found Dubin Breast Center at Mount Sinai Medical Center, which opened in 2011.
They have three children.
The 15-year-old Swedish girl allegedly told Rizzo that she was held against her will on Epstein’s island in the U.S. Virgin Islands after she refused pressure to have sex with men
Before marrying Glenn Dubin, Eva Andersson dated Epstein.
After Epstein was arrested for sex trafficking, Andersson-Dubin released a statement to The New York Times saying that the allegations ‘are completely counter to the person she is familiar with.’
As more details emerged about Epstein’s alleged behavior, the couple released another statement saying: ‘The Dubins are horrified by the new allegations against Jeffrey Epstein … Had they been aware of the vile and unspeakable conduct described in these new allegations, they would have cut off all ties and certainly never have allowed their children to be in his presence.’
