BREAKING: Investigative journalist identifies 14-year-old girl brought to Trump by Epstein at Mar-a-Lago!

Jaqueline Sweet, whose work has appeared in Rolling Stone, The Intercept, The Guardian, POLITICO, and Mother Jones, managed to track down a photograph of a 14-year-old victim, “Jane Doe,” who was brought by notorious archrapist Epstein to Mar-a-Lago in 1994.

“Epstein displayed Jane to Trump and asked ‘this is a good one, right?’ and now-President Trump nodded and smiled,” alleged Jane Doe’s lawsuit against the Epstein estate.

Sweet managed to track down Jane. “I have been able to identify Jane Doe, and even find a photograph of her at approximately the age she was when she says Epstein brought to her Mar-a-Lago, and while you will have to take my word for it, because Jane wishes to remain anonymous as a victim, I can confidently write that Jane looked so young that year that it would shock most. She did not look 18, or even 17, or 16. She looked like a child,” writes Sweet.

Jane was singled out and groomed by Epstein and his sex trafficker girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, at a Michigan summer camp in 1994. Sweet was able to confirm that Jane Doe also participated in one of Trump’s beauty pageants: “I can report that her participation in Trump’s pageant was roughly contemporaneous with allegations that Trump walked into the dressing room of several teenage Miss Teen USA contestants, some as young as 15 years old.”

This is just another reminder that the release of the Epstein files MUST be one of the House’s first priorities when Congress resumes its session. At the very least, it would appear that Trump was a collaborator with Epstein if not one of his sex trafficking customers, and the American people deserve to know the truth about what really went down at Mar-a-Lago, Trump, and these poor abused teen girls.

What happened to Jane, a baby?

A victim’s testimony raises questions about what Donald Trump knew about Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse of minors, and when

Note: All the details here are from publicly available court testimony and documents. I will not be adding any new biographical details or even including any already released facts that are not necessary for this overview in order to avoid making it easier to identify a victim.

In 1994, Jeffrey Epstein brought a 14-year-old girl to Mar-a-Lago to meet Donald Trump, that girl would later testify under oath in Ghislaine Maxwell’s 2021 trial, as an anonymous victim of Jeffrey Epstein’s sex abuse of minors. Known as “Jane Doe” during the trial to keep her identity private, Jane had made that same allegation in her 2020 lawsuit against Epstein’s estate.

Although the details of this victim’s accusations have been publicly accessible for years, a full picture of what we know about her allegations about her interactions with Trump at age 14 has not yet been put together in light of the additional information about Trump and Epstein’s relationship that surfaced this year.

Epstein displayed Jane to Trump and asked “this is a good one, right?” and now-President Trump nodded and smiled, Jane said. Trump and Epstein then shared a chuckle, her lawsuit alleged.

Jane’s allegations were previously reported in 2020 and 2021, but have received little attention during the ongoing scandal about the Trump administration’s decision to not release more documents from years of investigations into convicted serial sexual abuser Epstein. Recently released letters written to Epstein for his birthday from Trump and referencing Trump along with damning allusions to women as sex objects that have “depreciated” have reignited speculation about what Trump knew about what his friend Epstein was doing with underage girls, and when.

I have been able to identify Jane Doe, and even find a photograph of her at approximately the age she was when she says Epstein brought to her Mar-a-Lago, and while you will have to take my word for it, because Jane wishes to remain anonymous as a victim, I can confidently write that Jane looked so young that year that it would shock most. She did not look 18, or even 17, or 16. She looked like a child.

In fact, prosecutors showed the jury a photograph of Jane that same year during Maxwell’s trial, presumably to underscore how young she appeared months before Epstein and Maxwell preyed upon her outside her summer camp, the summer after she finished seventh grade, when she was 13.

Jane testified that she was a virgin when Epstein and Maxwell approached her at the Michigan summer camp where it would later come out that the duo trolled for victims. After Jane returned to her home in Florida near Epstein that fall, Epstein and Maxwell continued grooming her, she said during the trial, becoming friends with her and her family, paying for her expenses, with Maxwell beginning to broach sexual topics. By the end of 1994, only four months after they met, Epstein began sexually abusing Jane, she said in her lawsuit and again during Maxwell’s trial.

Exactly when Epstein brought the girl to Mar-a-Lago to meet Trump “in a dark green car” is unclear, but Jane has maintained that she was 14 years old, which means it was the second half of 1994 or the first half of 1995, according to her birthday that I was able to find.

“During one of Doe’s encounters with Epstein, he took her to Mar-a-Lago where he introduced her to its owner, Donald J. Trump. Introducing 14-year-old Doe to Donald J. Trump, Epstein elbowed Trump playfully asking him, referring to Doe, ‘This is a good one, right?’ Trump smiled and nodded in agreement. They both chuckled and Doe felt uncomfortable, but, at the time, was too young to understand why,” Jane’s 2020 complaint against Epstein’s estate and Maxwell stated.

During Maxwell’s trial a year later, Maxwell’s attorney grilled Jane during cross-examination about when exactly the Trump meeting took place, but Jane said she couldn’t remember if it was before the first time Epstein abused her. Earlier during the government’s questioning, Jane mentioned that Trump was among the famous names Epstein and Maxwell would namedrop.

“And they would sort of name-drop or sometimes put people on speakerphone whose voices I didn’t know and then say, Oh, well, this was so-and-so and so-and-so; and just, you know, say that they were very well-connected and affluent.”

Jane recalled Trump, Bill Clinton, Mike Wallace and names she didn’t recognize at the time as specific examples. Mar-a-Lago had become a public club by 1995, but Epstein reportedly visited when it was still Trump’s private home. A Florida businessman named George Houraney told The New York Times in 2019 that he was asked to organize a “calendar girl” competition at Mar-a-Lago in 1992, and that the only other guest was Epstein.

The White House did not reply to questions about Jane Doe’s allegations. Trump has not been accused of any crimes related to Epstein’s abuse of minors.

Jane herself competed in Trump’s teen beauty pageant in the mid-1990s, she testified at Maxwell’s trial. Without adding unnecessary identifying details to Jane Doe’s biography, I can report that her participation in Trump’s pageant was roughly contemporaneous with allegations that Trump walked into the dressing room of several teenage Miss Teen USA contestants, some as young as 15 years old.

Two images from Epstein’s 2003 “birthday book” released by The Wall Street Journal reignited speculation about what Trump knew about Epstein’s activities and interest in minors. Joel Pashcow, a longtime Epstein and Trump associate and Mar-a-Lago member, submitted a drawing depicting Epstein handing young girls a lollipop in 1983, and getting topless massages from young women in 2003, in a photo released by the House Oversight Committee. Pashcow is also pictured in a photograph in the birthday book of a giant check, a “joke” that Epstein sold a “fully depreciated” woman to Trump for $22,500.

Jane clearly wishes to continue to stay anonymous, with her lawyer writing to SDNY’s victim and witness coordinator in August, asking for victims’ names and identities to stay redacted if more Epstein files do end up being released, an understandable request from someone who, as she said in her 2020 complaint, suffered “imaginable physical and psychological trauma and distress.” Jane’s lawyer did however officially support a letter from Epstein’s victim Annie Farmer asking for grand jury transcripts in the Maxwell and Epstein cases to be publicly released, with redactions of names and identifying details about the victims.

A judge ultimately ruled against the release of those transcripts, arguing that “The materials do not identify any person other than Epstein and Maxwell as having had sexual contact with a minor. They do not discuss or identify any client of Epstein’s or Maxwell’s. They do not reveal any heretofore unknown means or methods of Epstein’s or Maxwell’s crimes.”

But separate from the question of whether other people engaged in crimes with Epstein and Maxwell, what about which people in Epstein’s orbit were aware of Epstein’s crimes? If Jane Doe didn’t sue and then testify in Maxwell’s trial, we would never know about her claims that Trump saw Epstein with a baby-faced 14-year-old girl. What else might we learn in those transcripts about the adults around Epstein’s activities, in Palm Beach during those years, and what they saw, thought, and knew?

The “birthday book,” along with Jane’s sworn testimony, suggests that there may be many others to ask those questions of, not least of all men like Pashcow and Trump who may have witnessed Epstein’s abuse firsthand.
