PALM BEACH, FLORIDA — A woman identifying as Nicky said she spoke publicly for the first time about being drugged and raped by Jeffrey Epstein at his waterfront mansion in Palm Beach, Florida. She described losing consciousness after drinking water Epstein offered her following a massage session and having no memory of the subsequent 12 hours.

Nicky, who met Epstein when she was 19 while working as a model, said that after giving Epstein a massage at his Florida mansion, he offered her a sip of water. "I took some water and I have no recollection of anything for a minimum of 12 hours after that," she said. She said she woke up feeling sick, sluggish and heavy.

When she looked in the bathroom, she said she observed signs of sexual activity, although she could not recall having intercourse. "I have done various psychotherapies to try to remember, to try and have a glimpse of something, and it's black, I have no idea," she said. She said she believes Epstein drugged and sexually assaulted her.

According to Nicky, Epstein had previously asked her to remove her top and bra during an initial massage. A few weeks later, Epstein pulled at her jeans almost to unbutton them as she massaged him. When she said she was on her period, Epstein proceeded to masturbate in front of her.

She said she later realized Epstein must have raped her while she was unconscious because he knew she was not menstruating. She recalled Epstein saying to her, "You don't have to lie to me, Nicky." In the aftermath of the abuse, she said she had thoughts about whether her children would be better off without her.

Donald Trump signed legislation compelling the U.S. Department of Justice to release all material from its investigations into Jeffrey Epstein. U.S. lawmakers from both parties said the Department of Justice failed to obscure some identifying information about survivors while protecting the identities of non-victims after millions of documents were released. About two million files from the Justice Department's investigations into Epstein have not been released.

She said she wants the remaining two million files released properly, honestly and ethically. She criticized the name of the legislation, saying she suggested alternatives. "Why don't you name it the Survivors [Act] or the Virginia Transparency Act or something?" she said. She said the name 'Epstein Transparency Act' continues to glorify Jeffrey Epstein.

She said constant public reminders of the abuse in media and public spaces prevent survivors from healing. "Having it constantly brought up and thrown in our faces at every turn, at every channel you turn on, the front page of a magazine in the grocery store line, social media, what have you, it doesn't allow us to heal," she said.
