Model says agency sent her to Epstein's Florida home in 2009
A model who was 18 at the time says the US branch of MC2 Model Management sent her to Jeffrey Epstein's Palm Beach home in 2009, according to a BBC report published on 10 November 2026. The model, known as Roza, has told the BBC that the agency sent her there for work.
Roza had moved to the United States from Uzbekistan about a month before her first trip to Epstein's home. At the time, Epstein was serving a jail sentence for sex offences against a minor, but he was allowed to work each day from his home.
Roza told the BBC that MC2 sent her to two photoshoots at Epstein's beach house. She says the photographer at those shoots was Nadia Marcinko, Epstein's girlfriend at the time, and not a professional photographer. An expense statement shown to the BBC suggests that Jeff Fuller, then US president of MC2, booked her flight home from Palm Beach after the second shoot.
Fuller has previously said he did not know Roza was going to Epstein's house. He has also said he did not know she was being abused.
US Department of Justice (DOJ) files show that 10 models from MC2 met with, or were in communication with, Epstein after his conviction. The same files show that Epstein gave $1m to MC2 in 2005. In 2007, MC2's owners told a US publication that Epstein had no involvement in their company.
The BBC also cited a March 2012 email from Fuller to Epstein, in which Fuller wrote about another model: "Had it not been for you, we would have fired her months ago."
MC2's US branch was dissolved a month after Epstein's second arrest in 2019. Fuller now runs another US modelling agency, The Source Models, and the BBC found that 50 models from MC2 were transferred to it.
Separately, New York State Senator Zellnor Myrie has proposed a sex trafficking bill that would give police greater power to investigate people who allegedly helped Epstein. The bill is a proposal and has not become law.
