Melinda French Gates called Epstein "evil" in a new interview, saying the encounter haunted her for years and "could have been stopped." New information about a missing German model disappeared 11 years ago has also emerged in released Epstein files.
Melinda French Gates spoke publicly for the first time about meeting Jeffrey Epstein, describing him as "evil" and saying the encounter haunted her. She suggested it could have been prevented if people had acted sooner. Simultaneously, new details emerged from released Epstein files about a German model who disappeared 11 years ago in connection to Epstein's network. The timing of her statement and the new file releases have refocused attention on the full scope of people affected by Epstein's crimes.
Gates' statement is significant because she's a major philanthropist with her own foundation, making her part of the documented network around Epstein. Her characterization of the encounter as something "that could have been stopped" points toward questions about why people in positions to act didn't do so earlier. The resurfaced case of the missing German model adds another name to a list of people whose connections to Epstein remain partially unexplained.
