Send Sandra to Miami: How Epstein's Associates Sought Victims in Latvian Modeling Agencies
The article explores the connections between influential Latvian modeling agency 'Natalie' and Jeffrey Epstein's network, focusing on events from 2009 and the implications of talent scouting ties.
The article examines the significant involvement of one of the most influential modeling agencies in Latvia, 'Natalie', in the context of Jeffrey Epstein's network. It highlights a crucial incident from November 2009 when Daniels Siads reached out to Epstein regarding a model scouting trip to Miami, revealing both the direct connections and the troubling implications behind the agency's practices. A startling email describing the trip as a photoshoot raises serious concerns about the motivations behind such trips and the potential exploitation of young models.
Following this, the piece delves into a timeline of events, including the involvement of Epstein allies in Latvian modeling contests and questionable practices that raised red flags over the treatment of underage models. The agency's director, Ēriks Meisāns, comments on the situation, with a focus on the industry’s culture and the power dynamics at play that allowed for such activities to persist. The 2011 'Baltic Beauty contest', which featured Epstein's associate on the jury, and 2012 competitions further illustrate the pattern of exploitation.
The emergence of events and details regarding other modeling agencies like '2B models' underlines the widespread nature of these issues in the Latvian modeling scene, warranting deeper investigation into not just individual cases but systemic vulnerabilities that may have enabled Epstein's associates to operate with impunity. The implications of these revelations extend beyond Latvia, indicating how a seemingly local story ties into a worldwide scandal involving exploitation and the abuse of power within the modeling industry.
