Rina Oh, who dreamed of being an artist, revealed that she was gradually drawn into Jeffrey Epstein's dark world and was sexually abused at the age of 21. After nearly 25 years, Oh stated that she is ready to share her story along with the Epstein files published by the U.S. Department of Justice.
Oh notes that she was going through a difficult time when she met Epstein in the early 2000s. The young woman, who wanted to receive art education, pinned her hopes on the "scholarship" offer that Epstein presented to her during a time when she did not have her family's support. Oh claims that Epstein introduced himself as a philanthropist, but this offer was actually a way to control her.
Initially describing everything as normal, Oh says she eventually realized that Epstein's behavior became disturbing. "There was an unwritten order in his world. Everyone who went to him was eventually directed to the same room," she emphasizes, highlighting that her experiences were not ordinary.
Oh expresses that she viewed what she went through for many years as her own fault, but over time she understood that it was abuse. She also claims that Epstein withdrew her scholarship and exerted pressure when he refused to see her.
Stating that her story was overshadowed by what Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein's most well-known victims, recounted in public, Oh says that false allegations have been made against her and that she is fighting a legal battle to clear her name.
Now a mother of two, Rina Oh believes that the publication of the Epstein files will allow the truth to be seen more clearly. Planning to publish a book in 2026 to recount her experiences, Oh breaks her silence by saying, "It is time to tell my story in my own words."
