Welcome to episode fourteen of ‘The Life and death of Jeff’. If you missed last week’s episode, in which I covered the journalist who helped Virginia Giuffre lie about Prince Andrew and finally revealed the name of the young woman whom Epstein role-played Lolita characters with, you can find it on my Substack along with all previous episodes.
Now, let’s jump back into the case and continue our journey through this sordid scandal.
Rina Oh is an artist who lives in a leafy suburb of New Jersey. If you were to see her passing in the street, you’d be forgiven for not recognising her, dismissing her as just another attractive, well-dressed wealthy resident of an area filled with large sprawling mini mansions and successful business owners who have opted for a comfortably-positioned environment. Close enough to drive into downtown New York. Far away enough to avoid its chaotic crowds and suffocating skyscrapers, replaced by calm farms and remote undisturbed walks beneath the never-ending oaks of the Pine Barrens.
But she has, in fact, been the subject of a few recent television interviews, including Piers Morgan Uncensored. She’s even now writing a book. It will focus on her experience as a victim of Jeffrey Epstein.
For a long time, she’d stayed away from giving interviews at all, and for good reason. She’d been labelled as a “recruiter”, despite only having introduced overage women to the late disgraced billionaire who, at the time, she considered an art patron of sorts. Rina had first met him when she was in her early twenties. Lisa Phillips, a friend who met Epstein in her twenties and with whom Rina socialised in New York, had introduced the pair, telling Rina that she would take her to him, with promises of Epstein being a “rich guy” who could help her with her art career.

"Virginia Giuffre was actually a recruiter of children" - Listen to Epstein witness Rina Oh expose the truth about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's accuser
“I was there during a lot of the key moments where she [Virginia Giuffre] accuses people of doing certain things.”
“I had a very nice life before I met Jeffrey,” Rina Oh told me, her New Jersey accent gentle and calm as she sat perched on the edge of a small sofa draped with a white sheet. Around us, in her narrow art studio, an array of paintings adorned the whitewashed walls. Vibrantly colored paintings of trafficked girls from minority groups. Paintings of American presidents engaging in a range of vices, including the partaking of cocaine. The table in the center of the room was covered in small and medium-sized clay busts and statues. Intricate, stunning pieces, some of them of Rina herself, depicted in different stages of her life and progression.
To the rear of the room, partitioned by tall shelves cluttered with works in the making, a small area festooned with tools and brushes contained a hidden fridge from which just moments earlier she’d fetched a fine, imported bottle of Prosecco. I sipped from my glass and listened to her, engrossed, as she delivered lengthy answers to my many questions.
