'I have no recollection of anything' - Epstein survivor says she was drugged and raped

March 26, 2026

A woman identified as Nicky has publicly shared her account of being drugged and raped by Jeffrey Epstein when she was 19 and working as a model. After providing a massage at Epstein's Palm Beach mansion, she accepted water from him and blacked out for approximately 12 hours, during which she believes he sexually assaulted her while unconscious. Nicky is now advocating for the US Department of Justice to properly release the remaining two million unreleased files from its Epstein investigations, criticizing the government's handling of document disclosure and the continued focus on the perpetrator rather than survivors.

Why it matters

This matters because it highlights ongoing failures in how survivor cases are handled by the justice system and government agencies. The fact that Congress had to pass legislation to compel document release, followed by the Justice Department's failure to properly protect survivor identities while withholding two million files, demonstrates systemic accountability issues. Additionally, Nicky's testimony illustrates how survivors continue to be retraumatized by constant media coverage and political exploitation of their trauma, preventing healing while the focus remains on glorifying the abuser's name rather than supporting those he harmed.

What's next

The US Department of Justice is expected to release the remaining two million Epstein investigation files
Nicky wants these files released "properly, honestly, ethically"
