She was just 14 years old when she was recruited in 2002 to give Epstein massages at his palatial townhouse in New York.

“It was a very, very, very sad time in my life,” Lacerda said in an interview with the Guardian.

The friend who introduced her to Epstein told her she would earn $300 for taking off her blouse and giving him a half-hour massage.

Lacerda said she would continue speaking out and fighting for the release of the Epstein files so others could be held accountable.

We just want these Epstein files to get released to the public and to us because it will bring us closure. »
