Voisiko heidän järjestäjään, jolla hän on liittyvä, hän on modeli-skauti, lopettaa koulutusvastaisuuden hänelle työpaikallisen vaarallisuuden vaihtoehtoisuuden vaihtoehtoisuuden vastaan ja sanoa, että me emme tiedä, että sinä olit taustalla puhumassa sydämellä lapsen seksuaalisen vaarallisuuden vastaajan kanssa, jossa hän kertoi, että me olimme kaupungissa, joilla ei ollut rahaa, ja hän kertoi, että me olimme kaupungissa, joilla ei ollut rahaa, ja sinä vaarallisuuden vaarallisuuden vastaan, joten tämä on koulutusvastaisuus.

that goes beyond just this one model scout and his relationship with Epstein. On the 25th of March, 2026, Epstein's survivors and fashion models released an open letter to the Attorney General of New York. This has been organized by a non-profit organization Model Alliance founded by Sarah Ziff. Ziff and more than 40 other survivors and fashion models impacted by sexual abuse and trafficking within the industry are calling for an inquiry

into the modeling industry's role in facilitating Jeffrey Epstein's abuse. I'll read you a bit of the letter in a second, but when you ask for an investigation, what are you asking for?

of the letter that speaks to the situation in the modeling industry. Modeling is a 2.5 trillion dollar global industry, but for decades, it says, modeling agencies have operated with minimal oversight whilst exercising sweeping control over a uniquely vulnerable workforce, children and teens as young as 14 years old, many of whom are immigrants. Until the 2nd of June 2025, when New York enacted the Fashion Workers Act III,

Modeling agencies required models to sign contracts granting power of attorney, giving agencies complete control over models' finances, work visas, housing and access to job opportunities. This structure did not merely create a power imbalance, it created a pipeline through which vulnerable teenagers were regularly delivered to powerful predators. Jeffrey Epstein was not a rogue outlier, but a beneficiary of and a participant in this system.

public record survivor testimony investigative reporting a newly released material indicate that epstein's trafficking operation intersected directly with modeling agencies and executives who introduced him to young women and girls and facilitated his access to potential victims now the full letter is available on if you type in model alliance you can go and read the full thing there's

list of allegations about different modeling agencies in there and the survivors who've come together to write this letter go through, you know, lots of the allegations that they have. Sean, when I read that, I was quite surprised. Power of attorney? Isn't there workers' rights to protect against that? If you sign over the power of attorney to your job, is that not quite extreme?

No katsotaan, kuten sanoin, jatkuvien jatkuvien vaikutukset Jeffrey Epstein-kirjojen uudistamisesta eivät pysy vähentämään. Pidämme sinut uudistamassa, teemme lisää programmeja tästä, ja seuraamme, mitä tapahtuu, kun saamme vastauksen jäsenvaltioon New Yorkissa, ja mitä tapahtuu Model Alliancein kanssa. Sean, kiitos paljon, että olit tullut tänne tänään ja käynyt meidät läpi kaikesta niin yksityisesti. Kiitos, ja rakastan sinun rautasi.

Kiitos, että katsoitte.

Hello and welcome back to Fame Under Fire from BBC Sounds with me, Anushka Matanda-Dowatine.

I just want to say that this episode might not be for everybody.

We are going to be discussing the apparent murder.

I'm saying apparent because we don't have all the details of Celeste Rivas Hernandez, who was a child when she died.

The details are graphic and some listeners might find them upsetting.

So you can head to halfway through the episode for our analysis, or we have an Epstein fact or fiction on a question about Michael Jackson, Madeleine McCann and Epstein that we're doing later in the pod.

But we're going to start with this unfolding case in LA.

Some of you would have heard of it, some of you will have no idea what I'm talking about, so I'm going to walk it all the way back to the beginning.

On the 24th of May 2024, a 13-year-old girl is reported missing by her family who live in Lake Elsinore, that's a city in California.

The last known sighting of her, according to a missing person flyer cited by CBS News, was in April 2024.
