Trapped on the island with no passport, Bryant was repeatedly raped by Epstein for the next two years.
A disposable camera she found on the island allowed her to take photographs of all the places she was abused, which include Epstein’s New Mexico ranch.
The sex offender offered Bryant $2,000 (£1.4k) to recruit girls for him and another $4,000 (£2.9k) to stay with him, though she refused as she did not ‘want to be around him’.
Unredacted emails sent from Bryant to Epstein were included in the latest documents released by the US Department of Justice, dubbed the Epstein Files.
The emails show she remained in contact with him until 2017 and Bryant explained that she would send Epstein emails when she was intoxicated or in the midst of a breakdown.
« Invisible chains is a good way to put it, it was like I was handcuffed invisibly, » Bryant said, adding that she had felt like ‘he was watching me’ which also led to her emailing him.
Epstein died by suicide at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York while awaiting trial for sex trafficking and conspiracy charges in August 2019.
