Since a New York court unsealed details about the case earlier this week, Nadia Marcinko, an aide to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has gone missing. The document describes how Epstein, a financier, ran a sex trafficking scandal with the help of top politicians and other celebrities at times. Among the unredacted information were the names of two former presidents, a member of the UK royal family, and celebrities.
Who is Nadia Marcinko?
According to the New York Post, Nadia Marcinkova, who spent years by Epstein’s side, has not been seen at her home since the public release of the Epstein files. One of the most enigmatic and elusive characters in the Jeffrey Epstein saga is the model-turned-pilot.
Marcinkova was 15 years old when Epstein brought her to the United States. According to other victims’ testimonies, he referred to her as his “Yugoslavian sex slave” regularly.
According to reports, Marcinkova became an abuser herself over time and continued to stay with Epstein. She frequently flew around the world with the US financier on his private plane, dubbed the ‘Lolita Express’ due to the number of underage girls who flew on it. It is unknown whether Marcinkova ever served as Epstein’s pilot.
Despite being accused of obtaining victims for Epstein and sometimes even participating in the sexual abuse, she has never faced charges.
Marcinkova’s testimony was made public on Friday
Marcinkova is seen in a 2017 video playing a prank on a flight instructor at a Palm Springs airport. She first presented herself as a serious aviation student, but she later astounded everyone with her impressive aerial acrobatic abilities. She seamlessly transitioned into the role of a high-fashion model after the flight, highlighting her versatile persona.
Marcinkova’s testimony, in which she invoked her right to remain silent dozens of times, was made public on Friday as part of troves of documents unsealed this week. The documents are the result of a civil suit filed in 2015 by Virginia Giuffre, who claims she was one of many young girls trafficked by Epstein and his partner, Ghislaine Maxwell.
On Wednesday, a New York judge began revealing the identities of people connected to the Jeffrey Epstein case, in which the US financier committed suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial for sex crimes.
Former US presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump, physicist Stephen Hawking, and pop star Michael Jackson were among those named in the documents, which contain nearly 1,000 pages of depositions and statements.
