A Prominent Epstein Accuser Has Demanded $75k While Making Shocking Death Threats to Trump, to Trump's Former Lawyer... and to Me

An Epstein accuser who appeared on Netflix's hit docuseries, 'Epstein: Filthy Rich' has made a series of false accusations, death threats, and demands for money.

She stood beneath the hard white lights of a Netflix camera crew and told the world she had once been a prisoner, a sex slave, on a tropical island owned by Jeffrey Epstein. The Caribbean shimmered just out of frame, imagined rather than seen, while her voice carried the weight of certainty. In that moment, Sarah Ransome became fixed in the public mind as a woman who said she had survived captivity inside one of the most infamous private worlds of the modern era. The camera did not question. It did not interrupt. It simply recorded, and the story entered the bloodstream of the Epstein narrative where it remains, largely unchallenged, to this day - despite core aspects of her most prominent claims now being proven to be completely false.

Head over to Netflix and you will see that Ransome remains on the cover of the streaming site’s hit docu-series, Epstein: Filthy Rich.

Long before she ever faced a documentary lens, Ransome’s life followed a restless, aspirational trajectory. She came from an aristocratic British family line, a background she has repeatedly cited as both privilege and pressure. In her own telling, the expectations of lineage never aligned with her desire for independence. As a teenager and young woman, she gravitated toward the idea of becoming a model, chasing visibility, beauty and escape with equal urgency. When that dream did not deliver the version of freedom she sought, she moved into escorting/prostitution. In her memoir Silenced No More, she writes candidly about this period of her life, describing escorting not as coercion but as something she entered into as an adult, driven by money, opportunity and the promise of mobility. She makes clear that this was not a childhood pipeline but a conscious decision taken after she had reached adulthood.

Ransome outside the trial of Ghislaine Maxwell. She was not considered as a credible witness, so was not chosen to testify.

Ransome was 22 years old and still registered on an escorting website when she first encountered Epstein. From that point forward, she says she became enmeshed in his private universe of travel and luxury, spending time at his properties, including the island in the Caribbean that would later become infamous. Over the years she has alleged sexual coercion, emotional domination, surveillance, and psychological manipulation at Epstein’s hands. These claims have been restated in media interviews, in her book, and in sworn statements used in civil litigation and sentencing hearings. They now form the backbone of her public identity.

Yet Ransome’s credibility has been irreparably shaped by another chapter of her story, one that unfolded in chaos in 2019. In the frenetic days following Epstein’s arrest and death, she publicly alleged that she possessed compromising sex tapes involving high-profile figures including Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, and Richard Branson. The implication was that these individuals were secretly recorded participating in criminal acts within Epstein’s circle. The media reaction was immediate and explosive. But within days, the story collapsed. Ransome admitted that the tapes did not exist and that the claims were untrue. The admission established a documented instance of deliberate fabrication at the apex of public attention, and without a care for the impact it might have on innocent men and their families.

Her credibility took another blow through her accusations against Professor Alan Dershowitz. Ransome alleged that they engaged in a sex act within Epstein’s orbit. Dershowitz responded with detailed denials supported by travel records, phone logs and third-party documentation, arguing that the encounter she described could not have occurred because he was verifiably elsewhere at the time. He has stated that he has never met her and has repeatedly described Ransome’s allegations as demonstrably false, reiterating publicly that the accusation is a matter of provable chronology rather than competing recollection. The dispute hardened into a legal and reputational standoff in which documents, not memory, became the principal weapons.

FALSELY ACCUSED: Professor Alan Dershowitz.

It is likely that Ransome’s debunked claims against Dershowitz came about as the result of her latching onto the earlier allegations made against him by Virginia Giuffre.

Giuffre initially demonstrated that she’d never met him, then was told by a journalist to name him in her unpublished memoir (but again didn’t claim he’d done anything wrong nor that any sexual activity took place between them), and finally falsely claimed she’d been trafficked to him multiple times.

Dershowitz proved that she was lying, leading to Giuffre begrudgingly issuing a statement admitting that she was ‘mistaken’.

He also provided Netflix with evidence that Ransome had made false allegations - yet producers chose to omit this entirely, to ensure that Epstein: Filthy Rich remained a one-sided, at times fact-resistant docuseries.

For the past few months, Ransome has embarked on a damaging, unhinged campaign of spreading false accusations, antisemitism, and sending lengthy, rambling emails, copying ninety-nine recipients into each one, in which she falsely accuses numerous lawyers, journalists, and famous faces of a series of crimes, from rape and paedophilia to fraud and murder.

In one of her recent chain emails, Ransome demanded that her former lawyers pay her $75,000 and accused one of them, without evidence, of raping fellow Epstein accuser Maria Farmer (she has contradicted this claim in other statements).

Ransome then demanded that international arrest warrants be issued for prominent lawyers representing Epstein accusers, including David Boies, Sigrid McCawley, Bradley Edwards, and Brittany Henderson.

She has also demanded large sums of money from multiple other individuals and companies.

Ransome has since escalated her online harassment campaign, sending antisemitic statements to Dershowitz, and making death threats against Donald Trump.

Most of the emails are too graphic and defamatory to publish. Regarding the death threats, most of which I also, for legal reasons, cannot publish, police in the Netherlands, where Ransome now resides, confirmed early last week that they have reviewed her correspondence and acknowledged that her actions constitute “a criminal threat”.

Some of her other criminal threats contained within her recent emails include addressing President Trump, Alan Dershowitz, and me (after I interviewed her and published an article that highlighted some of the key contradictions in her story).

In one of them, she wrote: “Why do you boys get to play with guns on the battlefield, and I don’t? How come you rapists, pedophiles and sex traffickers get to defend yourself, and I’m left defenceless F*ck that nonsense. You want to play, let’s play...... Alan Dershowitz, you posted on 05/06/2025. “KILL THEM FIRST. The Bible teaches self-defence: if someone seeks to kill you, act first. Protect yourself wisely.”

In other correspondence, Ransome referenced a post about killing one’s enemies and wrote to Dershowitz, “It’s either you or me, Alan, and it ain’t going to be me. I’m coming for you, and this is war!”

In another email, she told me that she and her husband are going to ‘hunt’ me down.

In a separate email, this time writing to the Russian Ambassador to the Netherlands, and copying in 98 other individuals, Ransome told him where I live and wrote, “Vladimir, please find this man and put a bullet in his head”.

In the same email, she bizarrely accused me of being a spy working for President Trump, while accusing Israel, the British Royal Family, Dershowitz, and numerous other entities and individuals of trying to kill her, going on to suggest that she would kill us first.

Ransome then wrote: “Please review the attached photos. What do these photos mean to you, Jay!!!”

These were the attached photographs that she was referring to:

Signing off the email, she wrote: “I have a big, big, big surprise for you, Alan Dershowitz, Trump, Maxwell, and co.”

I’ll be providing an update in due course. In the meantime, I hope that Ransome stops her tirade of harassment and death threats against numerous innocent people, that she doesn’t escalate them from emails into action, and that authorities at the very least offer her the help that she needs.
