Ukrainian model allegedly recruited girls for Epstein

A Ukrainian model may have recruited girls for US sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, whom she met in person and from whom she likely received expensive gifts and money.

Details: Correspondence between financier and Ukrainian woman Nastia N. was found in the "Epstein files", further documents and photographs from which the US Department of Justice published at the beginning of 2026.

During 2015-2019, Nastia N. wrote to Epstein's assistant Lesley Groff and directly to the financier, who built a network of sexual exploitation and human trafficking, including children.

Messages indicate that Groff scheduled meetings between Nastia and Epstein and also arranged payment for her education, visits to beauty salons, tickets from Kyiv to New York and gifts, including a new laptop worth US$3,500.

Files include messages in which the financier asks the model to find him an "assistant" aged 22 to 25, who is required to be "smart and willing to travel".

"Of course I will find you girls," Nastia replied to him.

Later, the model offers Epstein several "assistant" options, including 25-year-old Elena from Russia. The woman was later organised to go on a multi-day trip to one of the financier's islands, where, according to testimonies from many women, they were raped.

Later, Nastia again writes to the sex offender and suggests that he consider another candidate for "Jeffrey-land" – likely Epstein's island. The man refuses and later the model sends him further proposals.

In 2019, Epstein sends a letter to his assistant asking to remind her about "10k for Nastia N.". It is not known for certain what money this referred to and whether the Ukrainian model received it.

Journalists from Slidstvo.Info tried to contact Nastia but, after reading messages, she did not reply to them and instead made her Instagram page private.

Authors of the investigation managed to speak with Nastia's mother, who lives in Ukraine.

"I asked her [about the "Epstein files" – ed.]. She said that she is very glad that she is on the sidelines of these events. I don't know how she can appear there," the woman replied and promised to pass on to her daughter that journalists want to get her comment.
