Lisa Phillips, a former model scout and agent in Los Angeles, recently opened up about her traumatic experience with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. In a candid podcast interview, Phillips recounted her encounter with Epstein on his private island, shedding light on the issue of human trafficking and its far-reaching impact.

Phillips, who had aspirations of becoming a top model, found herself in a vulnerable position when she was sexually assaulted by Epstein during a visit to Little Saint James island. She described how Epstein initially appeared charming and made her feel special, only for the situation to escalate into abuse under the guise of a massage.

Following the incident, Phillips struggled with feelings of shame and confusion, turning to drugs and alcohol to cope with the trauma. She highlighted the power dynamics at play, noting that Epstein's influence and manipulation made it difficult for victims to speak out.
