April 2015 email correspondence between ABC News producer James Hill and attorney Martin Weinberg regarding a planned broadcast featuring a victim's allegations against Jeffrey Epstein, including claims involving Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, and Ghislaine Maxwell.
Summary
Attorney Martin Weinberg receives bullet points from ABC News producer James Hill detailing a victim's allegations against Jeffrey Epstein. The victim claims sexual abuse beginning in summer 1999 when she was 15 years old, recruitment by Ghislaine Maxwell, payment for sexual services, coercion to recruit other girls, and forced sexual encounters with Epstein's associates including Prince Andrew (three occasions, $15,000 payment). She describes video recording capabilities in Epstein's homes, bondage/schoolgirl outfit requests, a dinner meeting with Bill Clinton on Epstein's island, an alleged rape by another person on the island, and requests to bear a child with rights signed away. The email requests Epstein's legal response by close of business Friday for a potential Good Morning America broadcast.
