Roza Gilles and the Abuse That Continued During Epstein’s Sentence (Part 1) (7/21/26) · The Vault: The Epstein Files

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Epstein Chronicles. In this episode, we're going to dive into
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: an article from CNN talking about a woman named Rosa
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Jills who says that she was abused by Epstein while
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: he was supposed to be serving jail time. So I'll
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: keep my winging to a minimum here in the opening
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: because this is a pretty long article. So why don't
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: we just dive right in and see what she has
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: to say. This article was published by CNN and the
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: headline exclusive, Rosa Gillis was an eighteen year old model
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: when Jeffrey Epstein first abused her while he was serving
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: jail time. This article was authored by MJ. Lee and
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Nicki Robertson the first day that Rosa Gillis showed up
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: for her new job at a high rise office building
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: in downtown Palm Beach in the summer of two thousand
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: and nine, a woman was massaging Jeffrey Epstein's feet. Gillis,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: eighteen at the time, had recently come to the US
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: to pursue her career as a model after being approached
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: backstage in her home country of Uzbekistan by a modeling
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: agent with ties to Epstein. Gillis was immediately saddled with
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: debt by the modeling agency, which charged her thousands of
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: dollars for her visa and her rent. Distraught, Gillis thought
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: she'd be better off going back to Asia, where she
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: had a successful run as a teenage model, but Epstein
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: offered her a weekend job as a receptionist in his
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: office to supplement her income. And that's where it all starts.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: He'd get these girls in the office as assistants and
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: then from there the abuse would begin. But there's something
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: extra disgusting when it comes to this situation, due to
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: the fact that he was supposed to be in jail
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: when this shit was happening. So again I ask you,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: how come the NPA still stands? How come nobody's going
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: crazy about it? And how come the d o J
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: doesn't do away with it? Now? In a room with
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Epstein inside of the fourteenth floor office, the woman invited
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Gillis to sit next to her. As Epstein gave Gillis
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: his foot, she noticed a black plastic band around his
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: ankle with a small box with a blinking light attached
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: to it. When she asked what it was, Gillis says Epstein,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: and the woman laughed. Epstein then told Gillis to take
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: off her shirt. Imagine walking into an office, some lady's
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: massaging or a girl's massage, and some dude's feet. They
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: ask you to come over to massage your foot. He
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: gives you his dog and he has an ankle monitor
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: on it. What are we in a trap house in
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: East Las Vegas? What never living fock's going on here?
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: And then to laugh about it like it's no big deal.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: I froze, Gillis said. And the woman comes over and
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: starts unbuttoning my blouse. She takes it off, then she
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: takes off my bra and then she walks out. And
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: that's the kind of shit that would happen. They would
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: normalize it, they'd make pretend and that it was okay,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: that everybody was doing it, and if you wanted to
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: be a part of this lifestyle, then you had to
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: get down to And the truth is a lot of
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: these women from other countries they had no other choice.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: People can say whatever they want, Oh, why did they stay,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Why didn't they go to the authorities, Well they did,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: and nobody cared. There was no action taken. And even
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: when the guy was arrested, he was still molesting people.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: So I don't want to hear anything from people who
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: say this was all investigated, that this was all settled,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: there's nothing left to uncover. In my opinion, those are
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: the words of a coward or a conspirator. Epstein's sexually
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: assaulted Gillis for the first time that day, the beginning
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: of years of rape and abuse. She wouldn't realize until
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: some time later that the device Epstein had been wearing
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: was an ankle monitor, and that he was serving jail
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: time for soliciting prostitution from a minor, which should have
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: never been the charge. I mean, for real, soliciting prostitution
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: from a miner. Forty girls reported them, and they only
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: go with the one charge. Huh, I wonder why. I'm
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: sure it had nothing to do with protecting their asset, right,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: I'm sure that factor never even came into play. Look,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: if you want to get to the bottom of what
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Epstein is, then it all starts in Palm Beach, and
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: it all starts with that MPa. Gillis is one of
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: countless women abused by the late convicted child sex offender.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Her story, which he is publicly sharing in full for
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: the first time with CNN offers a vivid window into
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: the unusual parameters of Epstein's controversial two thousand and eight
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: plea deal in Florida that authorized him to spend much
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: of his sentence outside of jail. Yo, Look, we've been
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: ringing this bell for a long time, and CNN they've
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: largely ignored it. They thought that it was going to
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: be something bad for the people they like, so instead
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: of giving you the truth, they obfuscated, and they acted
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: like they didn't know they did, I assure you. And
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: the fact that they're coming out now like this is
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: some kind of new investigation is wild as hell. I mean,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: we can go back to what twenty twenty two, twenty
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: twenty three, when I was posting those articles, when we
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: were talking about that in episodes, and I was livid
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: about it then, and I'm even more mad about it
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: now because all of a sudden, people are acting like
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: they're just finding out. The truth is. CNN didn't see
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: the political benefit of it then, but now they see
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: a political benefit, and they're all over the story that
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: arrangement allowed Epstein to continue abusing young women even as
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: he was serving his sentence. Following his conviction that included
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: young foreign models such as Gillis and at the time
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: the abuse took place while a Palm Beach County sheriff's
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: officer was in the next room. Survivors told CNN, who's
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: that sheriff? Who's that deputy? Are we ever going to
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: earn his name? Is he ever going to be held accountable?
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: His job is to make sure that Epstein isn't hurting anybody,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: and he's in the next room as Epstein's hurting people.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: This is what I'm talking about with accountability. Real people
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: were in these roles. Real people were in charge of
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: making sure the cameras at the jail worked. Real people
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: were in charge of making sure Jeffrey Epstein stopped molesting
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: people while he was in custody. But none of it worked.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: I guess it's all just a big coincidence, right, Everything
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: surrounding Epstein, all this stuff that bends in his favor,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: all a coincidence, And I guess it's just a big
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: coincidence that none of it ever breaks in the favor
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: of the survivors. He didn't stop what he was doing
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: while he was convicted. He was doing the same thing
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Gilis said he had no remorse. The things he was
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: doing to me hurt me so much and left the
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: biggest scar. And I will never I will never be
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: able to move on from this, no matter how hard
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: I try. And that's just terrible to hear. I mean,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: you have a woman here who was abused by this
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: dude while he was supposed to be under the care
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: of the state. And if the state would have done
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: their job, if the government would have done their job,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: she would have never been abused. And that falls directly
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: on the shoulders of the DOJ and the State of Florida.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: It's an embarrassment. It's an abomination, and people need to
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: be held accountable. Two women who spoke to CNN under
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: the condition that they not be named publicly, said that
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: they too were abused by Epstein at the Florida Science
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Foundation office. The nonprofit was created in November of two
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: thousand and seven, shortly before Epstein entered his guilty plea,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: and claimed to provide grants and financial support to science
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: and research organizations. The women described the fourteenth floor office
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: as accessible by elevator that often buzzed with visitors and
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: activity during the work week. One woman who recalled that
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: there were numerous white noise machines, white mushroom like domes
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: placed throughout the office, and he should have never been
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: in that office. This office was put together very quickly,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: in a piecemeal matter, and put right next to his
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: lawyer's office. But sure, he has a whole science foundation
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: he has to run, and I'm the fucking pope. Epstein
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: appeared to have developed something of a routine for the
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: days that he spent at the Florida Science Foundation. These
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: women said his morning's there began with coffee and the
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: muffin and the financier, who complained that he didn't sleep
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: well at the pom Beach Stockade minimum security prison, would
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: take regular naps on a futon in a conference room.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: One woman distinctly remembered moments when Epstein's ankle monitor would
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: go off, forcing him to run outside to try to
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: reset the device. Too bad he didn't trip fall and
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: break his neck. Epstein's conduct during this period was characteristically brazen,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: both at his West pom Beach home and at the office.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Survivors say Epstein sometimes sexually assaulted them while an officer
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: in uniform was nearby, ostensibly to keep an eye on
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: the newly registered sex offender. Bro, Are we gonna have
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: an investigation down in Florida? Ever, this is unconscionable. Imagine
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: if that was your daughter, Imagine if that was your mom.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: All I can say is that you better hope that
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: the police get you before me. And I truly mean
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: that if it was my loved one that this happened to.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: We're talking some law abiding citizen type shit. The women
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: said they remembered thinking that the officer seemed afraid of Epstein.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: There was no question. They said that Epstein was the boss. Oh,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: he most certainly was. He was the boss during the negotiations,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: He was the boss after the negotiations, and he remained
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: the boss until whatever happened to him in that jel
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: cell happened to him. And that's it. That's just how
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: it worked for Epstein. When you have that kind of money,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: that kind of power, and you're a cru rucial piece
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: of what these intelligence agencies and governments are doing as
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: far as being a middleman, you have worth, and when
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: you have worth, you're able to get away with some shit.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Just ask Whitey Bulger. For Gillis her own encounter with
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: a man in uniform, who she believed was a sheriff's officer,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: took place one morning at Epstein's West pom Beach mansion,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: where she said she was asked to go on a
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: weekly basis in the summer of two thousand and nine.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Gillis walked downstairs one morning and saw the officer standing
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: in the kitchen and felt a sudden sense of hope.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: I thought to myself, thank you. This is going to
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: be the day that this all stops. She told CNN.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: I can't even imagine you're being abused by this dude.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: A cop comes in, you think you're saved, and you
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: find out their buddies. That's like right out of a movie.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: She watched the officer banter and laugh with Epstein, and,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: after wishing Epstein a good day, walk out without saying
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: a word to her. After I saw that sheriff, I
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: understood that no matter what you do, this man is
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: never going to be arrested, Gillis said. This man will
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: never be stopped. And regardless of whether you scream and
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: shout from the top of the universe, nobody would care.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: And that's what it felt like for a lot of
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: these girls. And I can tell you that for a fact,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: How do I know I talk to them when this
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: was all first breaking. I cannot tell you how many
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: conversations I've had I had with people that were abused
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: by this man, who had the same stories, talking about
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: how they were being abused while he was supposedly in custody,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: talking about how there were officers around while it was happening,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: how Leslie Groff knew she heard what was going on
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: in the room. And it goes on and on and on,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: and all these people got up there in front of
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Congress and in my opinion, lied through their teeth. And
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: what did Congress do about it? Absolutely nothing. And I
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: want you guys to keep in mind that the Epstein
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Transparency Law has to do with the government's handle of
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: this as well, not just who is involved, but how
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: the government handled it. So that means we need to
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: have investigations, and to do that, obviously, we need a
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: special counsel, especially now, And anybody that's against that, I
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: got to look at you as somebody who's enabling Jeffrey Epstein,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: because anybody who's serious, and it doesn't matter what side
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: of the political spectrum you're on, you should want a
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: neutral observer, a neutral party to come in take a
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: look at everything and hold people accountable. Right, Why is
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: there so much pushback to that? Why are so many
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: people hesitant for that to occur? What are they hiding,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: who are they protecting? And why? These are all questions
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: that we have, and these are all questions that, unfortunately
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: are not going to be answered until we force the issue.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: But Congress to this day refuses to do so. Now
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: they're getting a little bit better about it, and I
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: think the subpoena to Leon Black is a great idea,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: But every single person that they're calling up there to
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: have a conversation with should be under subpoena and it
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: shouldn't even be a discussion. And furthermore, with this information
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: becoming public now, I think it's time that we really
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: push the DOJ and the government and Congress to get
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: rid of that NPA. All right, folks, we're going to
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: wrap up the first episode right here, and in the
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: next episode we're going to pick up where we left off.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: All the information that goes with this episode can be
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: found in the description box.
