Anouska De Georgiou grew up in a world of privilege and promise—daughter of a British film producer, already turning heads as a young model in London’s glittering scene—yet that very glamour became the doorway to her nightmare. Introduced through trusted friends and pulled deeper by Ghislaine Maxwell’s sophisticated network in the mid-1990s, she met Jeffrey Epstein, who quickly enveloped her in charm, gifts, and false security. What followed was years of calculated abuse: repeated rape and coercion at his opulent residences in New York, Paris, and on his secluded Caribbean island. In raw, public statements, Anouska has described the slow erosion of her autonomy, the isolation, and the shame she carried for decades. As the first British woman to speak out publicly against Epstein, her testimony exposes how seamlessly elite social circles fed into his predatory machine. Even now, with key figures gone, the full extent of that hidden network—and who else was silently complicit—remains disturbingly unclear.
Anouska De Georgiou grew up in a world of privilege and promise—daughter of a British film producer, already turning heads as a young model in London’s glittering scene—yet that very glamour became the doorway to her nightmare. Introduced through trusted friends and pulled deeper by Ghislaine Maxwell’s sophisticated network in the mid-1990s, she met Jeffrey Epstein, who quickly enveloped her in charm, gifts, and false security. What followed was years of calculated abuse: repeated rape and coercion at his opulent residences in New York, Paris, and on his secluded Caribbean island. In raw, public statements, Anouska has described the slow erosion of her autonomy, the isolation, and the shame she carried for decades. As the first British woman to speak out publicly against Epstein, her testimony exposes how seamlessly elite social circles fed into his predatory machine. Even now, with key figures gone, the full extent of that hidden network—and who else was silently complicit—remains disturbingly unclear.
In the mid-1990s, Anouska was a teenage model from an affluent London family, full of hope and idealism. Through well-connected friends, she was introduced to Epstein in London. The grooming began subtly: persistent attention, lavish gifts, and promises that masked his intentions. Ghislaine Maxwell played a key role in drawing her into the circle, presenting Epstein as a generous benefactor. What started as social invitations escalated into coercion and sexual abuse that spanned several years.
Anouska recounted in interviews, including with NBC News and in court statements, how the manipulation made escape feel impossible. By the time overt abuse occurred, including repeated rapes at Epstein’s properties in New York, Paris, and his private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands, she felt trapped. The power imbalance—his wealth, connections, and threats—silenced her for years. She described the profound loss: innocence, trust, and joy stolen in ways that could never be recovered. The trauma led to long-term struggles with isolation and shame.
Her voice emerged publicly in August 2019, during a federal court hearing in Manhattan after Epstein’s death by suicide. Speaking emotionally, she declared, “Jeffrey Epstein manipulated me, coerced me and sexually abused me… I was a victim, and it has taken me many, many years to stand here and say, yes, it was me. I was a victim, but I will not remain a victim and be silent for one more day.” She emphasized the irreversible damage, stating Epstein “could not even begin to fathom what he took from us,” and positioned herself as representing every girl he harmed.
Anouska has continued advocating, appearing in interviews on BBC, The Young Turks, and at events like a 2025 Capitol Hill press conference pushing for the release of Epstein-related files under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. She has spoken of ongoing trauma, threats received after going public—including phone calls, packages at her home, and warnings—and the fear that kept many silent. A friend of Virginia Giuffre, she has highlighted the need for transparency and accountability to protect future generations.
Her courage in waiving anonymity and sharing her story helped amplify other survivors’ voices. She has channeled her experience into supporting abused women, including those struggling with addiction. Though Epstein’s death and Maxwell’s conviction closed some chapters, Anouska’s testimony underscores the enduring impact of elite-enabled abuse and the importance of breaking silence in the face of power.
