Epstein Files: How the Sexual Offender Used Russian Models to Find Girls “Without Boyfriends or Tattoos” — One Target Was 16-Year-Old Friend of Rapper Pharaoh

Media have found a mention of Russian rapper Pharaoh in the "Epstein files." One of the scouts suggested the millionaire the singer’s girlfriend, and Epstein was interested in whether they were still in a relationship. His strict requirement was that the girls visiting him did not have boyfriends.

Correspondence with Russian scouts also indicates that Epstein sometimes began courting girls at a very young age, and gifts could include trips to Disneyland.

The story of financier Jeffrey Epstein is not only about the infamous island and his extensive connections reaching the level of royal families. In files published on the U.S. Department of Justice website, one can still find unique information not only about VIPs but also about those who served Epstein and his guests.

For example, Russian girls who were constantly sought for Epstein through modeling agencies, acquaintances, and even relatives by his assistants, as well as women who had already gone through an “introduction” to the financier.

The media studied data on some Russian models who corresponded with JE, visited him, and themselves became scouts for finding “fresh blood.” The scale is staggering. There were so many women from Russia that Epstein’s own assistants got confused among them.

One notable episode concerns November–December 2018 — immediately after the release of the Apple Watch Series 4 (presentation in September 2018). Jeffrey Epstein gave an order to purchase and gift new watches to the most active girls. But a mishap occurred.

On November 19, 2018, in correspondence among Epstein’s office staff — involving Leslie Groff (longtime assistant to Epstein), Richard Khan (HBRK Associates), and accounting — a direct question appeared: “Which Dasha should receive the Apple Watch?” The list continued: Dasha Burak, Dasha Suchkova, Dasha Taranova.

Thus, there were at least three models named Dasha who had been to Epstein.

The assistants discussed among themselves to understand exactly whom Jeffrey meant. One wrote, “I am 100% sure it’s Dasha Burak,” another clarified, “there are several Dashas who visit JE in Paris.”

The letters separately discussed order specifications: size 40 or 44 mm, case color, GPS + Cellular, delivery to Europe. In December 2018, Leslie Groff additionally wrote to Epstein about the technical side of purchasing watches for Paris, London, and Moscow — including where it was best to buy them so the cellular function would work.

And again, Dasha! This time a striking illustration — an episode with money transfers. On December 3, 2018, in a letter, Bella Klein (Epstein’s office employee) apologized to Epstein for an erroneous transfer of several thousand dollars. It turned out she had mistakenly sent the money to Dasha Burak instead of another Dasha — Dasha Belova. Epstein replied with just one word: “It happens.”

Over time, the model from Novosibirsk, Dasha Burak, changed status from guest to organizer. In June 2019, in correspondence with Jeffrey Epstein, requirements of the financier were directly discussed. On June 12, Burak wrote to him from Milan: “We are trying to meet more girls, but some have tattoos…”

This was a report on recruitment. The correspondence stated that finding girls “the way you want — without tattoos and boyfriends” was not easy. The letters discussed criteria such as “energy” and “whether they have matured.” Regarding age, candidates over 25 were simply not considered by Epstein.

In mid-June 2019, Jeffrey Epstein and Dasha Burak discussed an incident. The upset financier indicated that his health had been seriously endangered by the carelessness of a model named Asiya, whom she had set up for him earlier.

Epstein wrote on June 15: “Which day are you coming to Paris? Can you bring her?” — adding: “Bring her, I will pay for the trip and time.” On June 16, the tone changed dramatically: “I sent her back to London.” The reason — the girl did not disclose that she was in a relationship with a boyfriend.

Epstein stated: “She put me at risk… I don’t want to be around people who risk my health.” He added that she should have informed in advance: “Here’s what happened… what should I do before arrival?”

Burak replied: “I will talk to her” and acknowledged that the girl had told the truth, but only after she arrived. Epstein’s response: “This is bad. I cannot get sick.”

Meanwhile, in the same month, Dasha Burak brought her younger sister Alexandra (then 18 years old) to Epstein. On June 8, 2019, she wrote to Epstein that she was in London and meeting with her sister. They went to Disneyland with the financier, and afterward, he wrote to Dasha that he was dissatisfied with Alexandra’s feedback.

Epstein noted that he did not receive a “thank you” from the girl, and when her sister indicated that she had passed thanks in earlier correspondence, Epstein replied that he was expecting a personal response. And the response did not delay. Alexandra Burak, after her sister’s remark, wrote to the sponsor herself, thanking him for the fulfilled dream (Disneyland).

There is no reliable data on whether this meeting was the first, but Epstein’s files include a receipt for the purchase of bakery goods delivered in New York to the recipient named Burak A. in 2016, when Alexandra Burak was 16.

On June 12, Burak sent Epstein an Instagram link — “victoriaperusheva” — and discussed her as a candidate. She wrote: “How do you like yesterday’s girl? She has good energy…” Epstein asked: “Is this your sister’s friend?” — Burak confirmed.

He then asked specifically: “The one whose boyfriend is a musician?” Burak replied: “Yes.” She added that the girl “broke up” with the musician.

This concerns model Viktoria Perusheva, who at that time was dating rapper Pharaoh.

All this correspondence is from June 2019, practically a week before Epstein’s arrest on July 6. By that time, the financier had already long been registered as a sexual offender following the 2008 plea deal, and in 2018 his past was again actively discussed in the press.
