Haley Robson was 16 years old when she was abused by Jeffrey Epstein in 2002.
Like many victims, Haley was also "recruited" by people she trusted: in her case, a classmate and Tony Figueroa, the ex-boyfriend of Virginia Giuffre, Epstein's main accuser, and Ghislaine Maxwell.
"I was on the beach," Robson recalls, when contacted by Corriere.
"I was invited to Jeffrey's house under some pretext. I went there in my car. I had no idea what to expect. I was told something completely different. When I arrived, Epstein took me upstairs. He abused me for an hour," Robson said in an interview with the most widely read Italian newspaper. Corriere della Sera.
Regarding Epstein's death, Robson expresses his belief that he did not commit suicide, but was murdered.
"I think he was murdered. He was a manipulator, with a huge ego. I've been seeing a psychologist for years. We often talk about Jeffrey. We talk about his personality, his traits, the fact that he was, in fact, a master manipulator. It was his superpower. He would have been able to sell ice to Eskimos. It's hard to believe that a man like him would take his own life. He was murdered," she said.
Today, Robson is an activist, working to help those who have suffered from abuse, especially women and children.
"This treatment by our government has transformed us into courageous women who don't take 'no' for an answer and aren't afraid to hold accountable those who were complicit in our abuse. It means knowing that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. We have become the women we needed when we were little, when adults failed to care for and protect us," she said. /Telegraph/
