Jeffrey Epstein's Web of Deceit: Using Education as a Tool for Exploitation
A chilling new twist has emerged in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, revealing how the financier used promises of college educations to ensnare young women in his sex trafficking network. Rina Oh, a 21-year-old artist at the time, was introduced to Epstein by Lisa Phillips, another survivor who had also been exploited by him.
According to Oh's testimony, Epstein presented himself as a philanthropist and university benefactor, assuring her that he would provide her with a scholarship to attend New York's School of Visual Arts. However, once she began attending classes, Oh found herself under the influence of Epstein's manipulation, which eventually led to her involvement in his network.
Oh describes how Epstein's behavior was not just predatory but also cerebral, aiming to infiltrate the minds of young people to exploit their vulnerabilities. In a striking example, he commissioned an awful painting from her, forcing her to create something that reflected his own twisted desires.
This pattern of exploitation is mirrored by other survivors who have come forward with similar stories. They all describe how Epstein used offers of education and financial aid as a means of gaining control over them. By making promises of scholarships and university acceptance, he created a sense of dependence, rendering them less likely to report crimes to law enforcement.
The extent of Epstein's connections to prestigious universities has now come to light. He allegedly arranged for multiple women to attend Columbia University, New York University, and even the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His involvement with Harvard was particularly significant, as he had an office at the university and maintained a relationship with its former president, Larry Summers.
The evidence paints a disturbing picture of a larger scheme in which Epstein infiltrated educational institutions across state borders, using his wealth and influence to exploit young people. The case highlights how financial dependence can be used as a tool for control, creating a sense of obligation that is difficult to shake off.
As the justice department prepares to release more documents related to Epstein's activities, it is clear that this scandal will continue to unravel, revealing the dark web of deceit and manipulation that underpinned Epstein's crimes.

this whole thing is just crazy I mean, who knew education could be used as a tool for exploitation like that? It's messed up how he preyed on these young women's hopes and dreams of getting an education. And it's not just that, the fact that he had connections with all these prestigious universities just shows how far-reaching his influence was.
I'm still trying to wrap my head around how someone like Epstein could get away with using education as a tool for exploitation... like, what kind of sick game is that? 
He preys on young women's dreams of getting an education and making something of themselves, only to turn them into sex trafficking victims. It's just mind-blowing. And the fact that he had connections at Harvard and other top universities just adds insult to injury... I mean, who does that?! 
I just hope justice gets served and these women get the help and support they deserve. 
It's like he was playing these young women like a fiddle, using their dreams of education as bait to hook them into his sex trafficking ring. And the worst part is, it's not just the victims - even some of the universities he supposedly mentored are being dragged into this mess. Columbia, NYU, MIT... who knew they were all in on the Epstein game? 
It's crazy how much influence and power can be used for such nefarious purposes. Can't believe how far the web of deceit went 
, hope justice is served ASAP 
and the fact that he had connections to prestigious universities just makes it worse... like, who do you trust when someone from Harvard or MIT is involved 
anyway, it's good that more survivors are coming forward & sharing their stories so we can finally understand the scope of his crimes & hold him accountable
