Epstein papers: Harrowing testimonies expose the horrors girls endured on ‘Pedophile Island’ – amid claims Ghislaine Maxwell ran the house ‘like a brothel’

In testimony now released, Sarah Ransome recalled that “all the girls” reported to Ghislaine Maxwell at Epstein’s various residences, including his island home Little St. James.

“Ghislaine looked like the mother bear, if you know what I mean. She was in charge; we had to listen to Ghislaine,” he said in a statement.

Ransome said Epstein supplied swimsuits and intimate outfits to the girls on the island, all from Victoria’s Secret.

She further explained that while the girls were on the island, they would be sent to Epstein in rounds.

‘When I finished, another girl got a call from Ghislaine. And when they were done, another girl was called,” she said.

“We were called in all day and evening for a rotation visit for Jeffrey… Our rotation changed every day that particular trip we had in December. So, for example, I would get a call. Maybe a few hours later, when Jeffrey was on a break, another girl called.”

The victim said she and the other women would try to think of ways to make sure they weren’t called.

“We tried to hide… so we wouldn’t have to be called.

‘Normally we had to sit in the main room. There was like a big swimming pool, the main sitting area. There was a large table. We would sit there making some kind of art on the table, and we always had to be nearby.’

Ransome recalled in court a time when she attempted to swim down Little St. James due to a requirement that she drop below 123 pounds.

‘I tried to swim off the island. I tried to escape from an island at night to escape her because if I didn’t lose weight they would foreclose me financially.

‘I would lose the place I was staying. I would lose my education. You name it. They bullied me about everything, just like they did with the other girls,” she said.
