Agent Begged Epstein to Have Sex with Model, Emails Show A US-based modeling agent introduced women as young as 18 to Jeffrey Epstein and pleaded with him to have sex with a model he knew, according to emails released by the US Department of Justice. Ramsey Elkholy, who worked as a model agent in the 2010s, sent hundreds of emails to Epstein over nearly a decade, discussing women’s bodies, their attitudes toward sex, and potential business ventures to gain access to female models. The correspondence, spanning from 2009 to shortly before Epstein’s death in 2019, reveals how the financier cultivated connections in the international modeling industry, which he allegedly used to exploit women and girls. In one 2011 email, Elkholy described a woman in her 20s as “desperate for cash” and urged Epstein to “just try her in bed.” The agent later claimed he regretted the language in some emails and his association with Epstein, stating he was unaware of the financier’s alleged abuse of women. Elkholy, now identifying as an anthropologist and musician, founded the band Monotronic but was previously involved in modeling and fashion businesses. The emails suggest he sought to profit from Epstein’s connections, proposing investments in modeling agencies, magazines, and competitions in Brazil. The files highlight Epstein’s extensive network within the modeling world, including ties to Victoria’s Secret and Vera Wang, both of which were linked to Epstein’s client Les Wexner. Elkholy also corresponded with Jean-Luc Brunel, a French model agent accused by Brazilian women of recruiting girls for Epstein’s exploitation. Brunel died in 2022 while being investigated for rape and trafficking of minors.#jeffrey_epstein #victoria_s_secret #ramsey_elkholy #jean_luc_brunel #ruslana_korshunova
