Epstein survivor thought she was 'going to die' while being assaulted on paedophile's private jet
  • Juliette Bryant, 43, recounted being sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein on a flight to the Caribbean and on his private island after being recruited as an aspiring model in Cape Town in 2002.
  • She described being forcibly touched by Epstein on his private jet, leading her to fear for her life, while the women who recruited her laughed at her distress.
