FBI agents investigating Jeffrey Epstein over allegations of child prostitution secretly travelled to Sydney in 2011, according to newly released documents. The agents enlisted the help of Australian federal police to interview an unnamed victim—thought to be Virginia Giuffre—about sex trafficking.
The documents, part of the Epstein files, also reveal that the FBI obtained a copy of the infamous photo of then-prince Andrew, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Giuffre during the Sydney visit. The photo has been central to allegations against Andrew.
Additionally, the files include emails from Epstein giving advice to women in Sydney about their CVs and job applications in Australia. In one email from 2011, an associate of Epstein told the financier he had interviewed an Australian woman in Dubai while out “hunting” for candidates to be Epstein’s personal assistant.
