House Democrats released text message screenshots on 18 December 2025 showing someone discussing sending girls to Epstein. One message reads: "I have a friend scout she sent me some girls today. But she asks $1000 per girl. I will send you girls now. Maybe someone will be good for J?" The messages indicate a structured pricing system for recruitment.

Payment Structure for Victims

Historical court testimony revealed young girls recruited for "massage services" at Epstein's mansion received $200 to $1000 per session. Most victims were under 18 years old. Some were paid to recruit additional friends, creating an expanding network of exploitation.

Evidence of Systematic Operation

The combination of scouting messages, pricing negotiations, detailed victim cataloguing, and passport documentation demonstrates Epstein operated a deliberate trafficking infrastructure rather than opportunistic abuse. The released materials confirm allegations prosecutors presented during Maxwell's criminal trial.

Ghislaine Maxwell's Role

Documents and testimony establish that Epstein's former girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell was instrumental in recruiting and grooming young girls. She directed personal assistants who acted as recruiters and schedulers. Maxwell encouraged existing victims to bring friends, systematically expanding the victim pool.
