Teresa Helm recounts being lured into Jeffrey Epstein’s orbit under false pretenses — told of a glamorous, international massage-therapy job, introduced through Sarah Kellen, flown to New York, meeting Maxwell, and then sent to meet Epstein under the guise of an interview. Everything felt elaborate and polished: private jets, fine homes, friendly conversation, promises of opportunity. The grooming was subtle, and her trust was built carefully. But that trust broke when Epstein assaulted her; she escaped, but the trauma stayed.

From Helm’s perspective, the documents emerging now — court filings, emails, deposition material — are more than stories. They’re tools. She sees them as an opening: a chance for survivors to be heard, for people to see how abuse is enabled by systems of deception, wealth, and power. She warns that while the public may see these documents as “hot news,” for survivors they carry emotional weight. For her, justice isn’t just Maxwell in prison — it’s accountability for everyone who enabled abuse, and a shift in how such cases are handled so victims aren’t silenced or manipulated.
