The dark history of Jeffrey Epstein is slowly being revealed in new court proceedings that began publishing this week to point to a previously unknown connection among Indian models in Dubai. Testimony from a top witness, who simply was "Victim 14", also revealed that a young Indian woman who was described as a "world-class beauty" and "rising star in the Dubai fashion scene", was allegedly groomed, and sent to Epstein’s properties on trumped-up visits. The records, part of a massive 2,000-page dump authorized by a New York federal judge, offer a chilling account of how Epstein’s "recruitment" regime extended far beyond just the U.S. and Europe.
The exposed ‘Dubai Connection’
The files show how Epstein used high-profile fashion events and “Talent scouting” agencies in the Middle East to fish for young women who were at risk. The “beautiful Indian model” cited within the files was allegedly approached in 2016 at a luxury event in the UAE. From the survivor's testimony she tells us:
- False Promises: The model was purportedly promised a major international advertising campaign with a Victoria’s Secret-adjacent brand. She was flown from Dubai to Epstein's place in New York, and then subsequently to his private island in the US
- Virgin Islands. Pattern: The files suggest she was kept under "financial duress," with travel documents allegedly held by someone who knew Ghislaine Maxwell.
Identity Protection and Effects on Business
The legal documents reference the model by a pseudonym to preserve her identity as a sexual abuse survivor; however, the “disquieting details” revealed including exactly which fashion shows she attended and what agencies she was associated with — spurred fervent speculation in Dubai’s socialite community.
Legal experts say the new evidence could spark new civil suits against the Epstein estate. “This corroborates what we have long suspected: Epstein’s network was a global machine designed to feed off the ambitions of the young women who flocked in new fashion capitals like Dubai and Mumbai,” a human rights lawyer based in New York told me.
Disturbing New Details in the 2026 Files
The unsealed documents don't end there; the Indian model is not enough. They also highlight:
- Financial Ledgers: Payments paid to “fixers” in the Middle East to enable a travel option to young women.
- Communication Logs: Emails between Epstein’s employees addressing the “exotic appeal” of South Asian models for his high-profile “guests”.
- Witness corroboration: Accounts of the model’s attendance at so-called “dinner parties” at which global political figures supposedly attended.
What’s Next?
As investigative journalists have scrutinized the 2026 document release, the focus is being drawn to the “recruiters” who worked in the UAE. The Dubai police have not made any comments, but pressure is mounting for the localized investigation into the agencies that helped Epstein operate.
