Riga, Latvia – May 5, 2026
Latvian police have identified a female victim of Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse ring. The victim is a Latvian citizen and was recruited by a foreign national whose identity has since been confirmed by investigators.
Investigations and International Cooperation
Authorities have interviewed nearly ten individuals in connection with the case, including some who have spoken publicly. "We have collaborated with nearly ten individuals who were questioned in relation to this case, including those who have made public statements," reads an official statement.
The Latvian police have also requested legal assistance from the U.S. but have yet to receive a response. Cooperation with international agencies remains challenging, even though Latvia is mentioned over 500 times in documents released by the U.S. Department of Justice. The capital, Riga, is referenced more than 800 times.
Connections to Modeling Industry and Epstein’s Network
Among the documents are the names of several Latvian models and modeling agencies, as well as Epstein’s personal correspondence with young Latvian women. One particularly disturbing document is a video showing a young girl walking around a modeling agency in Latvia, presenting her body, and introducing herself with her name, height, and address in Riga.
