Which women testified against Jeffrey Epstein and what were their allegations?

1. Who spoke in the 2019 federal court hearing and what they said

In August 2019, 23 women were given a public forum in federal court to describe Epstein’s alleged conduct before his death; the assembled statements described patterns of sexual abuse, recruitment when the women were minors or vulnerable young adults, and emotional and financial coercion—some of the speakers used their legal names while others remained anonymous or used pseudonyms ^[4]. The Time report on that hearing identified survivors such as Teala Davies and Anouska De Georgiou among those who came forward and said Epstein “took” parts of their lives, underscoring a pattern of long-term harm rather than isolated conduct ^{[4] [5]}.

2. The high-profile accuser Virginia Giuffre and her allegations

Virginia Giuffre was one of the earliest accusers to publicly identify herself and has long alleged that she was trafficked to and sexually abused by Epstein and by some of his associates while she was a minor; mainstream summaries of Epstein’s investigations cite dozens of girls identified in the Palm Beach probe and note Giuffre as an early public figure among the accusers ^[1]. The public record compiled by journalists and prosecutors ties her accusations to the broader 2005–2008 Florida investigation that cited scores of underage victims ^[1].

3. Women who testified against Ghislaine Maxwell — their testimony implicates Epstein

Four women who testified at Maxwell’s Manhattan federal trial described meeting Maxwell as teenagers and being groomed into Epstein’s orbit; the witnesses known publicly as Jane, Kate, Carolyn and Annie Farmer said Maxwell recruited or comforted them, arranged or attended “massages” that became sexual, and in some instances was present when Epstein abused them, with testimony describing repeated sexual contact beginning when witnesses were as young as 14 ^{[2] [3] [6]}. The AP and Guardian coverage of the trial summarized that the women described Maxwell as a calming, recruiting presence who normalized encounters with Epstein and facilitated travel, appointments and payments connected to the abuse ^{[2] [3]}.

4. Specific allegations beyond grooming — trafficking, payments and photos

Several witnesses in Maxwell’s trial and in other litigation alleged that Epstein’s staff scheduled appointments, paid victims modest sums for “massages,” and in at least one account a staffer took nude photos before abuse; documents and testimony identify staff such as Sarah Kellen Vickers and Lesley Groff as implicated in arranging or facilitating those encounters ^[7]. Media reporting of the DOJ’s later document releases reiterates counts in indictments alleging that assistants arranged minor females to travel to Epstein’s Florida home to allow him to engage in lewd conduct, echoing survivors’ courtroom descriptions ^{[8] [7]}.

5. Scope, names, and limitations of the public record

Reporting and court records document dozens of alleged victims and dozens of named or pseudonymous witnesses, and the Department of Justice and other outlets have released large troves of files and millions of documents that continue to surface new names and details ^{[9] [10] [8]}. However, the sources provided here do not offer a single, exhaustive roster of every individual who testified against Epstein; some survivors used pseudonyms or did not testify in criminal trials, and recent DOJ releases and news stories continue to expand the public list ^{[4] [10]}. Where available, the named, on-record accusers include Virginia Giuffre, the four Maxwell-trial testifiers known as Jane, Kate, Carolyn and Annie Farmer, and numerous other survivors who spoke at the 2019 hearing, but this should not be read as a closed list ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}.
