A woman who worked as a model and personal assistant to Jeffrey Epstein has alleged that the disgraced financier ordered a tattoo removed from her body via surgery after he took a dislike to it, leaving her permanently disfigured. She also alleges that Epstein sexually abused her during periods when he was allowed out of jail on day release, a reference to the controversial work-release arrangement he received following his 2008 Florida conviction for soliciting prostitution from a minor.

The claims form part of a wider body of allegations from women who say they were exploited by Epstein under the guise of employment or modelling opportunities, adding further detail to the catalogue of abuse attributed to him before his 2019 death in custody. The available article text is largely made up of unrelated Daily Mail site navigation and headlines rather than the full story, so further specifics of the surgery, the tattoo's removal and the alleged abuse were not confirmed within the provided material.
