Organizer for Epsteins's massages in New York | |
Lesley Groff worked some 20 years as an executive assistant for Epstein (as per DOJ documentation) and was the "main point of phone contact for NYC-based massage appointments" according to victims testimony.[1] She is named as "co-conspirator" in court documents.[2]
"Epstein described Ms Groff as so valuable that when she became pregnant in 2004, he paid for a full-time nanny and brought her a Mercedes-Benz so that she could keep working for him. "There is no way that I could lose Lesley to motherhood," Epstein said.
In turn, she described herself as an extension of Epstein’s brain in a 2005 interview with the New York Times. "It comes down to the bond," she said. "I know what he is thinking and I know when I need to be fast."[3]
Groff was sued in a lawsuit which was settled out of court in 2018; in it she was described as a: "scheduler and travel coordinator" for Epstein's "abusive activities", as well as the figure who "looked after the girls 'living needs' and maintained 'rules of behavior' for them".[2]
One or more civil suit's were quashed after Ghislaine Maxwell was found guilty at the end of 2021.[3]
