Russian woman Yulia Molchanova spoke about her relationship with Jeffrey Epstein

Russian woman Yulia Molchanova became one of Jeffrey Epstein’s victims and for the first time spoke about how she became his “assistant.”

Molchanova met Epstein in New York in 2011, when she was 22, and he promised to help her get into fashion school.

In 2012, Molchanova entered into a sexual relationship with a financier, after which she moved to New York, but did not receive the promised help with admission.

WASHINGTON, September 6 - RIA Novosti. Russian woman Yulia Molchanova, one of the victims of Jeffrey Epstein, accused of sexual exploitation, told for the first time how she became the “assistant” of the scandalous financier, the Wall Street Journal reports.

Molchanova, quoted by the Wall Street Journal, first went public with the story of how she met the financier during a trip to New York in 2011, when she was 22 years old. He complimented her on the street and invited her to visit. Epstein promised to help the girl with admission to a fashion institute in New York when she told him that she was interested in design.

In 2012, Molchanova first had sexual relations with the financier in his apartment in New York, the article says. After she moved to the city, the girl stated that she never received help with admission.

According to the financier’s victim, he gave her no more than three thousand dollars a month and monitored her expenses, angry that she did not involve new girls. Later, a bank account was opened for the Russian woman, through which Epstein spent tens of millions of dollars.

Molchanova was the lead plaintiff in a class action lawsuit filed by Epstein victims against Bank of America, which sought compensation from the lender, insisting it ignored suspicious transfers and allowed the financier to pay for sex crimes. The bank agreed to settle the claim out of court for $72.5 million.
