What changed

Roza, who was 18 in 2009, says MC2 Model Management sent her to two photoshoots at Jeffrey Epstein’s Florida home and put her in danger.

She says the shoots led to her working as Epstein’s assistant, where he systematically raped her. New evidence includes an expense statement suggesting MC2’s US president at the time, Jeff Fuller, booked her flight home. Fuller, who now runs The Source Models, has not responded to the allegations.

Why it matters

This is about the gatekeepers who controlled access to young women, not only the man who abused them. Roza says her agency knew where she was going. Fuller has previously said he did not know she was being sent to Epstein’s house, leaving the central question of what he knew unresolved.

The wider record around MC2 also sharpens that question. Department of Justice files show Epstein gave the agency $1m in 2005 and that 10 MC2 models met or communicated with him after his conviction for sex offences against a minor.

New York state senator Zellnor Myrie is proposing legislation that would give police greater power to investigate alleged enablers. Whether it advances or becomes law is uncertain, but the proposal reflects the accountability gap at the heart of Roza’s complaint: agencies were supposed to protect models, yet she says hers directed her into Epstein’s orbit.
