The Epstein - Interlochen Connection

Not sure who thought it was a good idea to give Jeffrey Epstein to young musical prodigies in Northern Michigan?

Spoiler Alert -- it was not.

This was reported about a month ago when the Epstein files first started trickling out..

Classified files released Friday by the U.S. Department of Justice reveal that Jeffrey Epstein met his first victim at Interlochen Arts Academy in Northern Michigan.

Epstein died in a Manhattan jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges. In 2008, he was convicted in Florida of soliciting sex from a minor. Over the intervening decade, dozens of victims came forward with accusations and lawsuits.

During summer 1994, a 13-year-old Jane Doe was a voice student at the prestigious arts camp, according to court documents obtained by WGTU/WPBN. Epstein, who was a camper in 1967, had become a donor. He and his accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, met the victim while visiting the camp...


At 13 years old, she became the ‘guinea pig’ by which he refined his criminal enterprise.

Interlochen is yet another very creepy angle to the Jeffrey Epstein story.

There is no way Epstein's first victim was in 1994. I'm sure it was at least 10 years before that. Wiz Imp 7 hrs ago #1
