‘I have no recollection of anything’ – Epstein survivor says she was drugged and raped. 3 hours ago. Victoria DerbyshireBBC Newsnight. Warning: This story contains graphic sexual descriptions. A woman who said she was drugged and raped by convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has spoken publicly for the first time to BBC Newsnight about her ordeal.. The woman, who spoke on condition of anonymity and whom the BBC will refer to as Nicky, said she met the disgraced financier when she was 19, working as a model.. She said that after she gave him a massage at his waterfront mansion in Palm Beach, Florida, he gave her a drink of water, and she blacked out for hours, when she believes she was raped by Epstein.. Nicky said she felt encouraged to come forward by other survivors sharing their stories. She is now calling for the US Department of Justice to release all its remaining files on Epstein.. ‘There’s nothing you won’t do to stop reliving all of it’. In an extensive interview with BBC Newsnight, Nicky described in detail Epstein’s abuses.. As other survivors of Epstein have recounted, Nicky’s interaction with Epstein began with a massage. He asked her to remove her top and bra.. “I honestly thought, OK, maybe it’s just an old rich guy that has a fetish and so be it,” she said. “Whatever. I mean, it paid my rent.”. But a few weeks later, when Nicky returned to see Epstein, her encounter was different.. “So I took my top off just like last time, started at his feet, worked my way up, and when I got to his upper thigh and went on to his chest, he pulled at my jeans, like almost to unbutton them,” Nicky said.. She told Epstein she was on her period, which was not true.. He encouraged her to have sex with him anyway and proceeded to masturbate in front of her, Nicky recalled.. She quickly got dressed and told herself she had to “get the hell out of here”. She went to the bathroom to wash the massage oil off her hands and when she returned, Epstein offered her a sip of water.. “I took some water and I have no recollection of anything for a minimum of 12 hours after that,” Nicky said.. She said she woke up feeling sick, sluggish and heavy. Nicky said when she went to the bathroom, there were signs she had had sex, although she could not recall any intercourse.. “I have done various psychotherapies to try to remember, to try and have a glimpse of something, and it’s black, I have no idea,” she said of the interaction. “But I can logically make a variety of assumptions that I think would be very accurate.”. She believes Epstein drugged and sexually assaulted her.. Later that day, when Nicky saw Epstein, he asked her to massage him one more time before she left.. And that is when, she said, Epstein confirmed her worst suspicions.. “He once again tried to pull up my jeans, and I was like, ‘no, no, I’m on my period’ and he says, ‘you don’t have to lie to me, [Nicky],'” she said.. Nicky said she later realised that Epstein could only have known she was not mens
