So Jenna Lisa Jones, who appeared in our special, was a 14-year-old girl from West Palm Beach, wrong side of the tracks, certainly polar opposite ends of the world to the one inhabited by Jeffrey Epstein.
Her neighbourhood was a...
had trailer parks and very low socioeconomic families living there.
He, of course, was the other end of the spectrum.
That's right.
I think it was like 8 to 10 kilometres between where Jenna Lisa Jones grew up and lived and where Epstein had his mansion.
That's a very short amount of distance, but as you say, completely different worlds.
But it's one that Epstein mined.
He, he,
We discovered this with other victims as well.
Courtney Wilde, in other stories I've done for 60 Minutes, as she tells a very similar story, he would recruit girls from schools, from sporting centres, from anywhere, where girls, shopping centres, anywhere.
And they became part of that web that he created.
And so the stories within that are very similar.
Girls offered by friends, normally friends,
people they trusted to come and massage a weird old bloke for 200 bucks.
All you have to do is massage him.
I mean, 200 bucks for these girls was...
You know, for many, it was food, it was rent, you know, they came from very difficult families in some cases, you know, mums and dads in jail, or, you know, out to it because of drug addiction, and they were looking after siblings, or just themselves.
So $200 was a lifeline, and, you know, seemingly benign.
was the task, you know, just give this wee guy a bit of a massage and he'll be fine.
