"Invisible chains is a good way to put it, it was like I was handcuffed invisibly," says 43-year-old Juliette Bryant.
"I'd never even told my family, I never told anyone about what happened with him until he died."
Juliette was recruited from Cape Town by Epstein in 2002, as a first-year university student and aspiring model. At only 20 years old, she thought her life was about to change for good.
"It just seemed like my dreams were all coming true because our family was struggling financially and I just really wanted to try and make a difference for my family."
Juliette was on a flight to New York on her first overseas trip outside of South Africa, three weeks after meeting Epstein for the first time at a Cape Town restaurant with Bill Clinton, who was there on an official AIDS awareness trip accompanied by actors Kevin Spacey and Chris Tucker.
Hours barely passed after arriving in New York City when she was told she would be travelling on to the Caribbean. A driver dropped her off at a runway at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey and she boarded a private jet where Epstein and the women she says initially recruited her in Cape Town were waiting to fly to his private island.
"He patted the chair next to him... and then I went and sat there. It was such a confusing situation for a young person to be in.
"As the plane took off, he started forcibly touching me in between my legs, and I just freaked out and I suddenly realised - oh my God, my family aren't going to see me again, these people might kill me, you know?
"They [the women] were laughing. I was really petrified."
It is unlikely she was the only young woman trafficked by Epstein from Cape Town. Emails from the Epstein files show flight details for unnamed female travellers being shuttled from Cape Town to London, Atlanta and New York up until late 2018.
Juliette says she was not trafficked to other men but raped by Epstein repeatedly.
"I would see him at lunch, breakfast and dinner, and then I would be called to his room. Otherwise, I didn't see a lot of him, he was always off working.
"I spent a lot of time there on my own. I'd sit by the pool or read books, and I also found disposable cameras in the kitchen which I took to, so I took photos while I was there."
Juliette's photos flit between beaming smiles in the embrace of other young women and haunting portraits of desolation and loneliness.
"There was no way of getting away, you know. They had my passport and by then we had landed on one of the Caribbean islands and then were taken on a helicopter to his island. There was just no way of getting away. I'm not strong enough to swim away. I wouldn't be able to swim off there."

How Epstein made his money
Her entrapment was more than physical. Even after she was sent back to Cape Town, she boarded more flights to Epstein's properties in New York, Palm Beach, Paris and New Mexico where she says she met women and underage girls from Brazil, Romania, France and Spain.
Juliette tells us she is still piecing together the depth of Epstein's dark machinery while contending with her psychological recovery and constant exposure to news about her abuser.
"I look on Facebook, I see Epstein's face. I look on X, I see Epstein's face. I look at the news, there it is again. You know, there are times when it's made me feel physically ill, to be honest, it is just constantly there and there is no way of escaping it."
The controversial US Department of Justice release of the latest Epstein files saw dozens of vulnerable victims exposed by insufficient redactions. Juliette's emails to Epstein were published unredacted and show her expressing support for him ahead of his trial in 2008 and continuing to contact him until 2017.
"Whenever I sent emails, it was always when I had been drinking or when I was having a bit of a breakdown... I always felt like he was watching me, and that was also why I emailed.
"I have nothing to hide. It has obviously been upsetting because it confuses people because obviously the man had a terrible grip on my mind."
More than 60 suspected cases of measles have been recorded across seven schools and a nursery in Enfield, The Sunday Times reports.
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has reported 34 confirmed measles cases in Enfield between 1 January to 9 February.
A message posted on the NHS Ordnance Unity Centre For Health GP surgery said there was a "fast spreading measles outbreak in several schools across Enfield".
"Infections have been confirmed across at least seven schools in Enfield and Haringey and it is spreading," the GP surgery said.
"During this recent outbreak, one in five children have been hospitalised due to measles and all of them had not been fully immunised.
"Parents should ensure that their children are up-to-date with all their immunisations."
Measles is a highly infectious viral illness that can spread very easily among people who are not fully vaccinated.
The virus causes cold-like symptoms, a rash and spots in the mouth.
While many people recover, the illness can lead to serious complications such as pneumonia, brain inflammation and in rare cases, long-term disability or even death.
The UKHSA has warned modelling of a large scale measles outbreak in London could lead to between 40,000 to 160,000 infections.
The modelling released in a report titled "Risk assessment for measles resurgence in the UK", estimated that hospitalisation rates would range from 20% to 40% depending on age.

Russia killed Alexei Navalny with frog toxin, UK and allies say
Falling immunisation rates have stoked fears of a widespread outbreak of the virus, with the World Health Organisation warning that Britain had lost its measles elimination status last month.
Dudu Sher-Arami, Enfield's director of public health, told The Sunday Times that London had "one of the lowest, if not the lowest, vaccination uptake rates" in the country, making the capital especially vulnerable to an outbreak.
Enfield Council said it was "working closely with the UKHSA, the NHS and local partners to respond to a confirmed outbreak of measles in the borough".
Councillor Alev Cazimoglu, who is cabinet member for health and social care, said: "We are following national public health guidance to manage the situation, protecting residents and limiting further spread."
While there is no treatment for measles, vaccination can prevent it.
Two doses of the measles, mumps, rubella and varicella (MMRV) injection can provide high levels of protection and help prevent further outbreaks.
The extraordinary announcement on Saturday seemed deliberately timed to grab global headlines in much the same way as the dissident's actual death did.
The news that Mr Navalny, 47, had died in prison in Russia broke on the opening day of the same Munich Security Conference of global leaders almost exactly two years ago.
Naming the person or government allegedly responsible for such a political assassination - if the claim of poisoning is substantiated - is a form of information weapon.
The intent is to make sure perpetrators cannot hide in the shadows and could face serious consequences such as sanctions or even criminal convictions.
The thinking - which might well be wildly optimistic - is that greater scrutiny could make a hostile state think twice before sanctioning plots to kill political opponents or other enemies.
It is doubtful that the efforts by Yvette Cooper, the British foreign secretary, and her German, Swedish and Danish counterparts, who made the poisoning announcement, along with Mr Navalny's widow, will deter the Kremlin from such allegedly ruthless action in the future.
However, their words are at the very least evidence of a growing resolve amongst NATO allies to stand up to what they regard as attempts by President Vladimir Putin to attack their countries and societies in the grey zone - under the threshold of conventional war. This also includes acts of sabotage, cyber hacks and disinformation spread online.
Speaking to a group of journalists about the case, Ms Cooper spelt out clearly the charges she was levying against Moscow.
"We have confirmed that a deadly toxin was found in Alexei Navalny's body and that toxin has been identified as a toxin that is found in Ecuadorian dart frogs," she said.
"Only the Russian government had the means, the motive and the opportunity to use that toxin against Alexei Navalny in prison and that is why we are here today to shine a spotlight on the Kremlin's barbaric attempt to silence Alexi Navalny's voice. To show that the Russian government has contempt for its citizens and the willingness to use this deadly toxin."
Yulia Navalnaya, Mr Navalny's widow, also spoke. She learnt about her husband's death while at the Munich conference on 16 February, 2024.
"It was the most horrible day in my life," she recalled, visibly upset.
"I came to the stage and I said my husband Alexei Navalny was poisoned. What could else happen with Putin's number one enemy in Russian prison?
"But - sorry, it is very difficult for me to say this - what could else happen with my husband in Russian prison? But now I understand and I know it is not just words. It is scientific proof."
British scientists played a key role in identifying the deadly neurotoxin - called epibatidine - that was allegedly administered to Mr Navalny.
The poison is found in the skin of the South American dart frogs, although Sky News understands it is likely the version used in the alleged murder was manufactured in a laboratory.
The effects of the poison are devastating, causing paralysis, respiratory arrest and an agonising death.
If - as claimed by Britain - the Kremlin did choose to use such an exotic substance to silence a critic, it demonstrates an unusual level of ruthlessness.
The Kremlin is already accused of trying to kill Mr Navalny in 2020 with a Novichok nerve agent - the same chemical weapon deployed against a former Russian spy on the streets of Salisbury two years earlier.
Fighting back, Moscow is well-practised and highly adept in the information space.
Its embassy in London was quick to respond to the allegations about dart frog poisonings.
"The goal of this ridiculous circus performance is transparent: to stoke waning anti-Russian sentiment in Western society. If there's no pretext, they laboriously invent one," it said.
"The method chosen by Western politicians - necropropaganda - is truly shocking. This isn't a quest for justice, but a mockery of the dead. Even after the death of a Russian citizen, London and European capitals cannot give him peace, which speaks volumes about the instigators of this campaign."
How To Get To Heaven From Belfast blends her trademark humour with mystery as a group of women reunite following the death of their childhood friend.
"I've always loved murder mysteries from when I was a little girl," McGee told Sky News.
"I was obsessed with Jessica Fletcher and Murder, She Wrote, so it was really like whenever someone gave me the chance to do it, I was going to grab it.
"But I knew I needed to do it my way. I wanted it to be very female-led, have a big comedy element to it, a bit messy."
The Irish writer's journey into storytelling began long before the worldwide success of Derry Girls - a comedy set in Northern Ireland in the 1990s about what it's like to be a teenage girl living amongst conflict.
McGee detailed how, growing up, she'd create plays for the neighbourhood where she lived to act out.
She said: "[I was] doing plays in my street and forcing everyone to be in them, even if they didn't want to, you know, because everyone's mum was just like, go and be in Lisa's play and give me peace for an hour.
"So, I was kind of the unofficial babysitter for the whole street. All the mums loved me, but the kids probably didn't because I was making them learn lines and stuff like that."
McGee said, even at a young age, the stories she'd create had a darker element, possibly influenced by her upbringing in Derry before the Good Friday Agreement.
"I remember saying to the executive producer of Derry Girls, Liz Lewin, who works on How to Get to Heaven as well, when I was in London: do you know the way, the army would check your car? And she was like, 'No, no! What are you talking about?'"
"So, like these little things, I started to realise, oh, there could be something interesting in telling these stories."
She added: "Outside of Ireland, people couldn't believe it, but that was what was going on. But it was so every day to us. It just became so part of your routine, and it was only like years later when I moved to London that I actually... realised that's probably not normal."
She said it was that familiarity that sparked her interest in telling "truthful" depictions of what it was and is like living in Derry and Belfast.
"I wanted to see myself and my friends on screen, which sounds incredibly simple, but I feel like it doesn't happen that often and I sometimes feel particularly Irish stories and stories about Irish women, they can be quite tragic and serious, you know?," she said.
"I really want to keep making stories about where I come from and I feel just so lucky that I can do this now and I'll keep trying to do it until they tell me to stop.
"I think Ireland's such a complicated, but incredible place, you know? So much history that hasn't fully been explored, the people are very funny, so I'm really excited about that, about the new stories we're going to tell now."
How To Get To Heaven From Belfast centres on three thirty-something women who reunite following the death of their childhood friend.
Starring Roisin Gallagher, Sinead Keenan and Caoilfhionn Dunne, it sees several familiar faces from Derry Girls take on new characters in the murder mystery comedy.
McGee has said a second season isn't a certainty, but she has her fingers crossed.
"I haven't asked, I have been talking about it and I don't know if I'm allowed to but I'd love to do it again because I love writing for those three women, I love those actors, they're just so talented and so funny.
"I would do it again in a heartbeat, it just depends on who watches it I guess and how many people watch it."
How To Get To Heaven From Belfast is out on Netflix now.
SpaceX delivered the US, French and Russian astronauts to the orbital research laboratory 277 miles (446km) up in space, a day after they launched from Cape Canaveral.
The new crew members include NASA's Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway, France's Sophie Adenot and Russia's Andrey Fedyaev.
The last group of astronauts were forced to evacuate after one of them suffered what officials described as a serious health issue.
The withdrawal left only three crew members on board the space station - one American and two Russians - prompting Nasa to pause space walks and reduce research output.
Ms Meir, a marine biologist, and Mr Fedyaev, a former military pilot, have previously lived on the space station.
On her first mission to the station in 2019, Ms Meir took part in the first all-female spacewalk.
Ms Adenot, a military helicopter pilot, is only the second French woman to fly in space.
Mr Hathaway is a captain in the US Navy.
Video of the crew's arrival shared by NASA shows the four newcomers floating through the hatch from the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft into the space station.
"Bonjour," Ms Adenot said.

The seven space explorers hugged and exchanged exuberant high-fives in the zero-gravity environment before posing for photos.
"Let's get rolling," Ms Meir said.
The crew will spend eight to nine months on board the International Space Station.
Last month's medical evacuation was NASA's first in 65 years of space exploration.
NASA has declined to divulge the identity of the astronaut who fell ill in orbit on 7 January or provide details of what happened, citing privacy concerns.
The ailing astronaut and three others returned to Earth more than a month sooner than planned.
They spent their first night back in a hospital before returning to Houston.
