A model agent who facilitated connections between young women and Jeffrey Epstein allegedly urged the convicted sex offender to engage in sexual activities with a desperate woman in her 20s, as revealed in disturbing emails.
The Epstein Files uncovered hundreds of correspondences spanning nearly a decade between US-based model agent Ramsey Elkholy and Epstein. Elkholy proposed investing in the modeling and fashion industry in Brazil to Epstein.
In one shocking email, Elkholy implored Epstein to have sexual relations with a cash-strapped woman in her 20s in 2011. The agent expressed regret over the language used in some emails and his association with Epstein, emphasizing that he was unaware of the financier’s abusive behavior towards women.
Despite acknowledging his friendship with Epstein, Elkholy clarified that he maintained a certain distance from the sex offender. The emails also hinted at Elkholy arranging meetings with female models for Epstein, even after Epstein’s release from prison for soliciting prostitution from a minor.
Regarding the woman Elkholy urged Epstein to engage with, subsequent emails showed Elkholy expressing frustration and pushing for the encounter, claiming to have the woman’s consent to contact Epstein. Other emails discussed potential investments in the modeling industry and a Brazilian fashion magazine, with Elkholy suggesting various business opportunities to Epstein.
In a 2016 message, Elkholy proposed investments to Epstein, highlighting potential brand-building opportunities and indirect access to models. The agent also mentioned a Brazilian fashion magazine for sale but Epstein seemed disinterested.
The last email from Elkholy to Epstein in 2019 mentioned a Russian woman and the possibility of bringing her to the US, with Epstein expressing concerns about obtaining a visa for her. Epstein was arrested three months later.
Throughout the correspondence, Elkholy’s emails portrayed a close business relationship with Epstein, with discussions ranging from potential investments to arranging meetings with models, shedding light on the questionable dynamics between the two individuals.
