Wrestling with her emotions, she revealed how she was introduced to Epstein by his longtime associate Jean-Luc Brunel.
The French modelling agent founded MC2 Model Management with Epstein’s backing, before later being found hanged in a Paris prison cell while awaiting his own rape trial.
Identified only as Roza, she said she was 18 years old when Brunel brought her to the US from Uzbekistan in 2008.
Roza was later taken to Epstein’s Palm Beach mansion in 2009, when he was under house arrest for soliciting prostitution from a minor.

She told the hearing: “Epstein used the names of powerful politicians to demonstrate his influence.
“He told me he’s an investor of the very agency that promised me a career, he also spoke of his arrest like it was a game, bragging about girls visiting his cell and his friendships with authorities.”
Epstein later offered her a job at his science foundation to offset a $10,000 (£7,300) debt she owed the modelling agency.
“One day, his masseuse called me into his room where I was molested for the first time by Jeffrey,” Roza said.
Roza said the modelling agency relocated her to Miami for the duration of Epstein’s house arrest so she could be near Palm Beach.
Only when his sentence was served was she allowed to return to New York.
She said that years later she reported the horrific abuse but kept her identity hidden.
Her name only became public during the botched release of the Epstein files.

Roza told the hearing: “I woke up one day with my name mentioned over 500 times, while the rich and powerful remain protected by redactions, my name was exposed to the world.
“I can only imagine the long-term impact this will have on my life.”
Her concerns were echoed by fellow survivor Jena-Lisa Jones, who criticised the handling of the files’ release.
The committee also heard from other witnesses who described how Epstein allegedly used threats and intimidation to silence victims.
Maria Farmer, the first to report Epstein’s abuse in 1996, said she had been “robbed” of a normal life and career.
She asked the committee: “Why won’t the FBI release my full report?”
“Doing my civic duty has cost me dearly.”
California Representative Robert Garcia, the ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, said: “We are taking this investigation to Epstein and Trump’s backyard.
“No one is above the law.”
Epstein was found hanged in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan in August 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges.
His death was ruled a suicide by a New York medical examiner.
British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell is the only Epstein associate ever convicted and jailed as a co-conspirator.
She was sentenced to 20 years behind bars for sex trafficking in 2022.
Jean-Luc Brunel, the French modelling agent accused of recruiting girls for Epstein, was also found hanged in his Paris prison cell in 2022 while awaiting trial on charges including the rape of minors.
