Valdson Vieira Cotrin, a Brazilian naturalized French who served as Jeffrey Epstein's butler in Paris, has given significant testimony regarding visitors to Epstein's apartment. According to excerpts published by the French newspaper Libération, Cotrin noted that there were constant visits from 'young and thin women' but was adamant about having no knowledge of any underage individuals being present during these visits. His statements provide insight into the social environment surrounding Epstein and the troubling narratives associated with his life.

The testimony was taken in September 2019 during an investigation by the French police, which was established shortly after Epstein's death. Cotrin's reluctance to acknowledge the presence of minors is noteworthy, especially given the serious allegations surrounding Epstein and the attention that these allegations have garnered in both the media and public discourse. The francophone audience will find this report particularly significant as it adds to the extensive narratives concerning Epstein's activities in Europe.

This disclosure raises several questions about the complicity and awareness of individuals in Epstein's inner circle and contributes to the ongoing discussions about exploitation and accountability. Cotrin's comments on social media and previous interviews suggest a complex relationship with the events surrounding Epstein, framing him as someone who challenges the notion of suicide attributed to Epstein while simultaneously providing troubling insights into the encounters that transpired within his residence.
