Blue Butterfly: Inside the Diary of an Epstein Survivor

In the world's collective memory, Jeffrey Epstein is a disgraced financier, a serial sex trafficker, and a man whose crimes shocked the world. Blue Butterfly dismantles the illusion that Epstein was a lone predator. Instead, it exposes a far darker reality-- one deliberately hidden from public view. At the heart of this exposé is K----, a survivor whose story is captured in a pink diary with a blue butterfly on the cover. In 2002, when she was twenty years old, she was recruited by Epstein while touring Africa with a high-profile entourage that included Bill Clinton, Kevin Spacey, and Chris Tucker. After attending a staged casting, she was lured into the predator's web with the false promise of a Victoria's Secret modeling contract. Once extracted from her home country and severed from her family, she was immediately abducted and abused: she was given short notice to pack for the Caribbean, her name was conspicuously absent from the flight logs, and no one knew she was traveling to Epstein's private island. To this day, she remains convinced that, had she failed to comply, she would never have lived to tell her story.
