Jeffrey Epstein introduced 14-year-old victim to Trump at Mar-a-Lago, Ghislaine Maxwell trial testimony reveals

NEW YORK — An underage victim of Jeffrey Epstein competed in Donald Trump’s teen beauty pageant in the 1990s after being introduced to the future president by the notorious sex offender, according to testimony Wednesday.

The revelation emerged during the alleged victim’s second day of testimony at Ghislaine Maxwell’s trial for grooming underage victims for Epstein’s abuse from 1994 to 2004.

“Mr. Epstein introduced you to Donald Trump?” Maxwell’s lawyer Laura Menninger asked the witness, who testified using the pseudonym Jane.

“Correct,” Jane responded.

Jane told the jury that she competed in Miss Teen USA shortly after meeting Trump with Epstein at Mar-a-Lago.

The Miss Teen USA pageant was organized by the Miss Universe Organization, which Trump owned from 1996 to 2015.

Maxwell’s lawyer asked Jane whether she recalled feeling “devastated” that Epstein spent no more than $2,000 on a dress she wore at the contest.

“No, that’s ridiculous,” the witness replied. “I wouldn’t do that.”

Trump wasn’t the only prominent man she met through Epstein.

“You recall Prince Andrew being on a flight?” Menninger inquired, referring to a trip on one of Epstein’s private planes.

“Yes,” said Jane.

On Tuesday, Epstein’s longtime pilot Larry Visoski testified about flying Trump on the sex offender’s private jets, along with Prince Andrew, former President Bill Clinton, the actor Kevin Spacey, the late "60 Minutes" correspondent Mike Wallace, and two former U.S. senators.

Jane testified she was 14 when Maxwell and Epstein first approached her at a summer camp in 1994.

She alleged they groomed her for months before revealing their perverted intentions. Epstein and Maxwell forced her to participate in what she described as “orgies” throughout her teenage years.

“I was abused pretty much every time that I would go over to his house, and it all started to seem the same after a while — whether it was just him or there were other women involved, or me and Jeffrey and Ghislaine, it all started to seem the same,” said Jane. “After a while, you just become numb to it.”

The British publishing heiress’s lawyers grilled Jane about discrepancies in her trial testimony and initial statements to the FBI in late 2019 and early 2020.

Jane testified that Maxwell’s attitude shifted after Epstein first abused her, several months after meeting the 14-year-old during a happenstance encounter at a prestigious art camp in Michigan.

Menninger asked the witness why she did not initially tell law enforcement Maxwell contacted her on Epstein’s behalf after meeting them at the camp.

“That memory has come back to you in the last two years?” asked Menninger.

“Well, memory isn’t linear,” the witness replied.

Maxwell has pleaded not guilty to all charges and says the government is using her as a scapegoat for Epstein, who killed himself at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in August 2019.
