Jeffrey Epstein Linked to Bill Gates Testimony and Modeling Industry Exploitation

Microsoft co‑founder Bill Gates testified before the U.S. House of Representatives, denying ever visiting Jeffrey Epstein’s island, farm or Florida residence and saying Epstein attempted to blackmail him over extramarital affairs before their relationship ended in 2014.

U.S. Department of Justice documents reveal Epstein’s continued ties to the fashion and modeling sector after his 2008 conviction. Model‑agency executives, scouts and financiers provided him with money, visa assistance and introductions to young women, enabling ongoing sexual exploitation. Notable connections include French agency owner Jean‑Luc Brunel, who received a $1 million loan limit from Epstein, and various scouts who supplied photos of girls from Europe, North Africa and the Caribbean.
