Unsealed Epstein Documents: Sarah Ransome Deposition

Continuing on with the recently unsealed Epstein documents, we have the deposition of Sarah Ransome. This one took place one year, one month and one day after the deposition of Virginia Roberts-Giuffre (which we looked at previously).

Like Virginia Roberts-Giuffre, Sarah Ransome was recruited as a masseuse. Jeffrey Epstein would promise these girls things- money, help getting into college, etc.- in exchange for massages. These massages would invariably turn sexual at some point early on, however.

Nadia is Nadia Marcinkova from the previous deposition (of Virginia Roberts-Giuffre): the pilot and former model.

Sarah Kellen (now goes by Sarah Kensington) was also mentioned by Virginia Roberts-Giuffre in her deposition. She has been described as Ghislaine Maxwell’s right-hand woman. She is now married to NASCAR driver Brian Vickers.

So there’s a little bit about the layout of the island. In the next couple pages I’ve included, Sarah Ransome talks about her first sexual encounter with Jeffrey Epstein, which involved the misuse of a massage device.

Familiar Names

Just like in the previous deposition we covered, the names Ghislaine Maxwell, Nadia Marcinkova and Sarah Kellen (Kensington) come up here. Ghislaine is Jeffrey’s right-hand woman, with Sarah Kellen (Kensington) and Nadia Marcinkova beneath her in the hierarchy and Natalya Malyshev playing the role of recruiter.

These people also appear in some of the photographs provided by Sarah Ransome, which I’ll include at the bottom of this page.

Of course we also remember Alan Dershowitz from the deposition of Virginia Roberts-Giuffre. Dershowitz is the lawyer to the stars (Mike Tyson, Julian Assange, OJ Simpson, Harvey Weinstein, Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, among others).

Some may say that the encounter sounds consensual, and indeed Miss Ransome doesn’t describe being physically assaulted or threatened in this instance. It’s more like coercion. Epstein promised this (at the time) young girl that he would get her into college and finance her in exchange for something innocent (massages), but it turned into something that she didn’t sign up for at all.

By her own admission, Ransome was afraid of Epstein. That fear plus the hanging carrot of being put through college is what made her do things which she didn’t want to do. I mean we can take one look at Alan Dershowitz and conclude that under ordinary circumstances a sexual encounter between the two would never happen.

A Minor on the Island

While it’s only Ransome’s opinion that this girl looked “well under 18”, I think we can deduce that her opinion is accurate. That’s why the name is blotted-out. It might also explain why, in some of the photographs we’ll see, some of the faces are blotted-out.

This all paints a very sad picture. You take the coercion techniques described above and apply them to a minor and it’s going to be very hard for any child in such a situation to get out of it.

Google Co-Founder

The Sergey she is referring to is Sergey Brin, who is indeed the co-founder of Google.

Just a little more about the hierarchy. I think this is first time we see the name Lesley Groff, who allegedly was another of Epstein’s assistants.
