Exclusive: Roza Gilles was an 18-year-old model when Jeffrey Epstein first abused her — while he was serving jail time

Exclusive: Roza Gilles, 18, Abused by Epstein While He Served Jail Time

Goldlaner.com – In an Exclusive revelation, Roza Gilles has come forward with her harrowing account of being sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein at just 18 years old—while the financier was actively serving his Florida jail sentence. This Exclusive testimony sheds new light on how Epstein’s controversial 2008 plea deal allowed him to continue exploiting young women despite being under house arrest and wearing an ankle monitor.

A Model’s Unexpected Journey to Palm Beach

According to this Exclusive account, Gilles arrived in Palm Beach during the summer of 2009 for a receptionist position at a downtown high-rise. Having recently moved from Uzbekistan, where she had established herself as a teenage model, she was recruited by an agency connected to Epstein. This Exclusive story reveals how a backstage encounter in her homeland set off a chain of events that would transform her life.

The modeling agency quickly saddled Gilles with significant debt, charging her thousands for visa processing and housing. Facing financial strain and contemplating a return to Asia, Epstein offered her weekend work at his office—a lifeline during this challenging period. This Exclusive narrative highlights how Epstein positioned himself as both benefactor and predator.

The Day Everything Changed

Inside the 14th floor office, a woman seated nearby invited Gilles to join her. As Epstein extended his foot toward Gilles, she noticed something remarkable: a black plastic band encircled his ankle, with a small box featuring a blinking light attached. When she asked about the device, both Epstein and the woman laughed. This Exclusive detail would later prove crucial to understanding the timeline of her abuse.

“I froze,” Gilles recalled. “And the woman comes over and starts unbuttoning my blouse. She takes it off, then she takes off my bra, and then she walks out.”

That moment marked the beginning of years of sexual assault. Gilles would later learn that the mysterious device was an ankle monitor, confirming that Epstein was actively serving his jail sentence at the time. This Exclusive revelation challenges public perception of Epstein’s behavior during his incarceration.

The Florida Science Foundation Office

Gilles is not alone in her experience. Two additional women, who requested anonymity, shared with CNN that they too were victimized by Epstein at the Florida Science Foundation office. This Exclusive investigation reveals that the nonprofit organization, established in November 2007 just before Epstein’s guilty plea, served as a hub for his continued exploitation.

The women described the 14th floor workspace as a busy environment accessible by elevator, frequently filled with visitors throughout the work week. Notable features included numerous white noise machines—white, mushroom-shaped domes—positioned throughout the office space. This Exclusive account provides fresh details about the setting where multiple victims were abused.

Epstein developed a consistent daily routine during his time at the foundation. His mornings began with coffee and a muffin, and the financier, who complained about poor sleep at the Palm Beach Stockade minimum security prison, would take regular naps on a futon in a conference room. One woman specifically remembered occasions when Epstein’s ankle monitor would activate, compelling him to rush outside to reset the device. This Exclusive testimony confirms the timeline of his abuse.

Brazen Behavior Under Watch

Survivors consistently described Epstein’s conduct during this period as remarkably bold. Whether at his West Palm Beach residence or the office, he sometimes assaulted women while uniformed officers stood nearby, ostensibly monitoring the newly registered sex offender. At the Florida Science Foundation, a rotating schedule of officers would remain near the office entrance. This Exclusive reporting underscores how Epstein operated with impunity.

Two women noted that the officers appeared intimidated by Epstein. There was no doubt in their minds that Epstein held authority within that space. For Gilles, a particularly memorable encounter occurred one morning at Epstein’s West Palm Beach mansion during the summer of 2009. She had been visiting the property on a weekly basis. Walking downstairs, she spotted a sheriff’s officer standing in the kitchen, and hope surged within her.

“I thought to myself, ‘Thank you, this is going to be the day that this all stops,'” she told CNN.

Her hopes were misplaced. Epstein continued his pattern of abuse without pause or regret. This Exclusive account captures the moment Gilles realized the system had failed her.

“He didn’t stop what he was doing while convicted. He was doing the same thing,” Gilles said. “He had no remorse. The things he was doing to me hurt me so much, and left the biggest scar, and I will never – I will never be able to move on from this, no matter how hard I try.”

Gilles is now sharing her complete story publicly for the first time, offering a powerful testament to the enduring impact of Epstein’s crimes and the system that allowed them to continue. This Exclusive revelation adds another crucial piece to understanding how Epstein’s abuse persisted during his sentence.
