Recruited at Sixteen: A Jeffrey Epstein Survivor Speaks Out | Haley Robson
About this episode
Haley Robson shares her harrowing experience of being recruited into Jeffrey Epstein's network at a young age and the subsequent abuse she endured.
Haley Robson was sixteen years old when she was recruited into Jeffrey Epstein's orbit — approached at a beach resort by a classmate and driven to his Palm Beach mansion under the pretence of a $200 massage. What followed was two years of sexual abuse, coercion and psychological manipulation that would shape the course of her life. In this episode, Neil speaks with Haley about growing up in Miami, the childhood traumas that left her vulnerable, and how Epstein's network systematically exploited girls exactly like her — isolating them, grooming them, and weaponising their own needs against them. Haley speaks candidly about the mechanics of the abuse, the culture of fear that kept victims returning and the part of this story that rarely gets told: how underage girls within Epstein's network were pressured to recruit others.
