Epstein Witness Recalls Sarah Ferguson, Donald Trump and ‘Many Celebrities’ at Florida Mansion
Epstein's former housekeeper Juan Alessi recalled seeing celebrities including Robert Kennedy Jr., Miss Universe contestants and more at his Florida home
As more and more documents from the investigations against sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein are unsealed, one witness' testimony reveals celebrities did indeed stop by the late financier's Florida home.
According to a now-unsealed deposition transcript of Juan Alessi, who worked at Epstein's Florida residence from about 1990 to 2002, celebrities including former President Donald Trump, Robert Kennedy Jr., magician David Copperfield, hairstylist Frédéric Fekkai, Prince Andrew, Sarah Ferguson and more visited the mansion over the years.
The former assistant and housekeeper to Epstein said in the September 2009 deposition that "many celebrities," actors and musicians were friendly with Epstein and his partner Ghislaine Maxwell — including one unnamed star who Alessi said had to be picked up from high school to come to the mansion.
"I didn't see that many young girls, you know, young, underage girls at the house," he recalled. "I never saw... except the two girls that I mentioned that I think [were] underage for sure because she was still in high school."
"She had dinner with her mother, a couple times with her mother. And she become [sic] an actress," Alessi added. "She's an actress and she has done movies. And [Epstein helped] her in her career. That's the only girl that I knew she was young because she was going to high school and I pick her up from high school sometimes."
"She sang sometimes because she was a singer. So she sung at the house. Beautiful girl. Very talented," he continued. "That's the only girl that I know that was... underage."

Additionally, Alessi noted that two celebrities — whose names were fully redacted — as well as "Misses" (such as Miss Universe pageant queens) paid visits to Epstein's home.
"Misses Yugoslavia, Miss Germany, I don't even know the names," he recalled. "But there were a lot of queens and other famous people that I can't remember. It was a very famous lawyers that I'm sure you know, Alan Dershowitz, who... slept there. He — Princess [Diana's] secretary, she stay there for a week with her kids and we took care of her."
None of the individuals named in the newly unsealed docs — apart from Epstein and Maxwell — have been charged with crimes, and their inclusion does not imply any wrongdoing.
The unsealing of these documents stems from a 2015 civil lawsuit brought forth against Epstein's former partner Maxwell by Virginia Giuffre, a victim of Epstein's human trafficking enterprise.
In the suit, Giuffre alleged that Epstein and Maxwell had facilitied her sexual abuse and trafficked her to Prince Andrew. The 40-year-old woman won $12 million at the end of the suit, and the Prince later said that he had "no recollection of ever meeting" Giuffre.
Epstein died in a Manhattan jail cell in 2019 after he was arrested for child sex trafficking and conspiracy. New York and federal investigators ruled the death a suicide by hanging. Meanwhile, Maxwell was convicted in 2021 of abusing and trafficking underage girls and was sentenced to 20 years in prison. She has since appealed her conviction.
