A new CNN exclusive reveals that Roza Gilles, then an 18-year-old model, was allegedly abused by Jeffrey Epstein during the period he was serving jail time in 2009. Gilles has shared her account with CNN, detailing the abuse that reportedly occurred while Epstein was participating in a work-release program as part of a contentious 2008 plea agreement in Florida.
This arrangement allowed Epstein to leave jail for much of the day, during which time the alleged abuse of Gilles and potentially other women took place. Gilles' testimony provides a window into the unusual conditions of Epstein's incarceration and the broad parameters of his plea deal. Her story comes as other women have also reportedly made similar complaints concerning Epstein's conduct during his work-release period.
