8. "I always wondered if any girls from Krasnov's Miss Teen USA were funneled to Epstein?"

One word answer. YES.

Newsweek July 31, 2025.

Epstein Victim Was Contestant in Donald Trump’s Teen Beauty Pageant.

Jane testified that she took part in the Miss Teen USA pageant in 1998, NBC News reported at the time. However, it was not clear if that was before or after she said she visited Mar-a-Lago.

Trump owned the pageant from 1996 until 2015, and four women who competed in the pageant in 1997 told BuzzFeed in 2016 that Trump had walked into their dressing room while they were changing.

During her testimony, Jane said she was sexually abused by Epstein after meeting at a summer arts camp in Michigan in 1994. She said that Maxwell—who is serving a 20-year prison sentence after being convicted of helping Epstein sexually abuse underage girls—would sometimes be in the room when she was abused.
