多年来，被定罪的性侵犯杰弗里·爱泼斯坦在性贩卖指控的情况下，仍然建立起了一个遍布全球的权势关系网。数百万份解密文件揭示了他是如何扩大并维持这一网络的。
For years, convicted sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein developed a global web of powerful connections despite accusations of sex trafficking. Millions of declassified documents reveal how he expanded and maintainted his network.
无论是向同事提供价值1万美元的百货公司礼品卡，资助医院，还是动用关系让学生进入名校，恩惠始终是杰弗里·爱泼斯坦策略的核心。
Whether he was offering associates $10,000 Bloomingdales gift cards, funding a hospital or pulling strings to get a student admitted to a prestigious university, favours were at the centre of Jeffrey Epstein’s strategy.
解密的电子邮件显示，他向律师、金融家、医生和学者赠送礼物的模式。他还资助了众多权势机构，包括大学和医院。
Declassified emails reveal a pattern of gifts to lawyers, financiers, doctors and academics. He also funded numerous powerful institutions, including universities and hospitals.
2026年2月，《纽约时报》的一篇报道透露，爱泼斯坦向几位美国医生的研究项目和基金会投入了巨额资金。这些医生据称不仅为爱泼斯坦，也为他的受害者提供治疗。治疗内容从牙科检查到盆腔检查不等，其中一些甚至在爱泼斯坦的住所进行。在一个案例中，一名医生在受害者的前额上缝了35针——就在爱泼斯坦的餐桌上。然而，一些接受爱泼斯坦恩惠的人声称，他的帮助是未经请求的。
A February 2026 New York Times report revealed that Epstein invested large sums of money in the research projects and foundations of several American doctors. These same doctors reportedly agreed to treat not only Epstein, but also his victims. Care ranged from dental appointments to pelvic exams, some of which were even performed in Epstein’s homes. In one case, a doctor placed 35 stitches in a victim’s forehead–on Epstein’s dining room table. Some of the recipients of Epstein's favours claim his help was unsolicited, however.
彭博社的调查显示，2017年，爱泼斯坦似乎利用自己的影响力，帮助阿丽安娜·德·罗斯柴尔德的女儿爱丽丝进入纽约大学，尽管她的SAT成绩令人担忧。当我们的记者联系罗斯柴尔德家族时，其发言人告诉法国24频道，爱丽丝不应对她所说的爱泼斯坦单方面行为负责。
A Bloomberg investigation showed that in 2017, Epstein appeared to have used his influence to help Ariane de Rothschild’s daughter, Alice, get accepted into New York University, despite concerns about her SAT scores. When contacted by our journalists, a spokesperson for the Rothschild family told France 24 that Alice could not be held responsible for what she said were Epstein’s unilateral actions.
彭博社的报道表明，爱泼斯坦试图通过寻找方法来突破他与周围人建立的关系界限，以此扩大自己的影响力：多年资助其律师的体外受精治疗，帮助客户隐瞒婚外情，或秘密向政府官员提供关于机密文件的咨询。
Bloomberg's report suggests that Epstein sought to expand his influence by finding ways to push the boundaries of the relationships he had established with the people around him: funding his lawyer’s IVF treatment over several years, helping a client conceal an extra-marital affair or secretly advising government officials on confidential documents.
被这台运转良好的机器所困的，是他的受害者——女性和女孩，她们被爱泼斯坦招募，并在某些情况下被介绍给有权势的男性。
Caught in the grips of this well-oiled machine were his victims – women and girls, who were recruited by Epstein and, in some cases, introduced to powerful men.
“给你找了一个新的人选，”爱泼斯坦在2013年写信给一名男子时说。 “你想要下一个什么样的角色？”他又问另一名男子。
“New one for you,” Epstein wrote to a man in 2013. “What character would you like next?" he asked another.
爱泼斯坦多年持续的性贩运行动若没有员工的帮助不可能维持如此之久。有的员工负责通过假冒模特经纪公司或在贫困社区的高中外潜伏来招募受害者。还有的则管理支撑爱泼斯坦活动的金融结构。
Epstein’s years-long sex-trafficking operation couldn’t have lasted as long as it did without the help of his employees. Some were tasked with recruiting victims through fake modeling agencies or by lurking outside high schools in disadvantaged neighbourhoods. Others managed the financial structures underpinning Epstein’s activities.
《华尔街日报》2025年11月的调查审视了他的会计师理查德·卡恩和律师达伦·英迪克在管理其众多商业实体中的角色。
A November 2025 Wall Street Journal investigation examined the roles of his accountant, Richard Kahn, and lawyer, Darren Indyke, in managing his numerous business entities.
《华尔街日报》调查记者卡迪贾·萨夫达尔解释说：“当银行对爱泼斯坦的账户提出疑问时，两人都为可疑交易作了解释。”
“Both explained away the suspicious transactions in Epstein's accounts when banks would ask him questions,” explained WSJ investigative journalist Khadeeja Safdar.
萨夫达尔以及其他专家接受了法国24记者萨米娅·梅特尼和阿娃·卢凯的采访，谈及爱泼斯坦如何在面对未成年性侵指控的情况下，仍能让其网络多年运转。
Safdar and other experts spoke to FRANCE 24 journalists Samia Metheni and Ava Luquet about how Epstein managed to keep his network running for years, despite facing allegations of sexual abuse of minors.
