Haley Robson was a 16-year-old South Florida high school student when an acquaintance from school approached her at a local pool with an intriguing offer: Did she want to make extra money giving massages to a billionaire in Palm Beach?

She agreed. When Jeffrey Epstein tried to grope her while she was giving him a massage, wearing nothing but a thong, she brushed his hand away, Ms. Robson said in a 2009 deposition for a civil case. But she continued to visit Mr. Epsteins mansion dozens more times, in a lucrative new role: a recruiter of other teenage girls from her school.

"I didnt have to convince them, she said in the deposition. I proposed to them. They took it.

"Jeffrey is no longer here, and the women that helped him are, said Teresa Helm, who said she was recruited into Mr. Epsteins world 17 years ago. They definitely need to be held accountable for helping him, helping themselves, helping one another carry on this huge almost like system.

One of the women under scrutiny, Mr. Epsteins onetime girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, has been accused in several well-publicized lawsuits of overseeing efforts to procure girls and young women for him, a charge she has firmly denied.

Four women were apparently so instrumental to Mr. Epsteins operation that they were named as possible co-conspirators and were granted immunity from prosecution in a widely criticized plea bargain Mr. Epstein struck with federal prosecutors in Florida more than a decade ago. That deal allowed Mr. Epstein to plead guilty to state charges and to spend 13 months in a county jail rather than face a federal sex-trafficking indictment.

The four women Sarah Kellen, Lesley Groff, Adriana Ross and Nadia Marcinkova could still be subject to criminal charges in Manhattan. The United States attorneys office has said it is not bound by the Florida agreement.

"She orchestrated the whole thing for Jeffrey, Sarah Ransome, who sued Ms. Maxwell and other associates in 2017, said in an interview.

Ms. Maxwell, the daughter of the British publishing magnate Robert Maxwell, was Mr. Epsteins longtime companion, managing his homes and introducing him to many of the politicians, celebrities and dignitaries who became fixtures within his social circle.

They were like partners in business, Janusz Banasiak, Mr. Epsteins house manager, said in a deposition. Mr. Epsteins butler, Alfredo Rodriguez, described Ms. Maxwell in a deposition as the boss.

Wow.

Guess it not over.

Some of them might get punished but not all of them. The ones at top will probably sacrifice their inferiors in the power structure

Some people think Trump is one of those. He was friends with Epstien

Wish they would say exactly how much money they were making.

This case is just all around really interesting.

Dude was a billionaire. They probably got paid more than people with degrees.
