Bill Gates caught in a photo with Epstein victim, sheds new light on infamous case
The photo casts new light on the case of Jeffrey Epstein, the multimillionaire financier involved in human trafficking—including victims who were underage women. Epstein, against whom a case was ongoing in the U.S., committed suicide in his cell before the final verdict was reached.
This sparked numerous conspiracy theories, given his social circle included billionaires, politicians, and royal family members. Both businessmen and public servants were indirectly or directly implicated as potentially benefitting from Epstein's illicit services.
Bill Gates in a photo with one of Jeffrey Epstein's victims
One such individual was Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft. Gates has confessed that he met Epstein in 2011, interacting with him several times at Epstein's request. However, Gates later maintained that he didn't sustain any business or private relationships with the financier. Amid the high-profile Gates' divorce, Bill's wife Melinda confessed that her husband's continuance of this acquaintance made her uncomfortable.
"Journal Sunday" has recently published photos of Bill Gates with one of Jeffrey Epstein's victims. The newspaper's information indicates that Epstein personally took the photograph and the visible woman in it is a Polish model. Reportedly, she was about 20 years old at the time. Her face was obscured upon publication.
Evidently, the photo was taken at Gates' office in Seattle in March 2014—several years after Epstein was convicted in 2008 for procuring underage girls for prostitution. Gates has not commented on this publication.
Jeffrey Epstein used powerful connections to exploit
In an interview with "Journal," the woman in the photo revealed that she had met Epstein a few months before the picture was taken. The financier lured her swiftly with promises of assisting her career. Importantly, the Polish model did not accuse Bill Gates or any other man, with whom Epstein took photos, of unwanted sexual behavior.
The newspaper notes that the Polish model is also seen in photos with Director Woody Allen and former CBS journalist Charlie Rose.
The woman's legal representatives, who also represent over 150 other Epstein victims, imply that the Polish woman might not have been aware of this. Still, in their view, Epstein exploited his influential relationships to facilitate his human trafficking operations.
