Some accounts claim that visas were arranged, manipulated, or extended in ways that kept these women dependent on Epstein’s network, with the constant threat—explicit or implied—that noncompliance could result in deportation, legal trouble, or being cut off from financial support. This created an environment where the victims were not only isolated geographically, but legally and psychologically trapped, unable to safely report abuse without risking their own status.

The result, according to these accounts, was a self-reinforcing system where immigration vulnerability became a mechanism of control, ensuring silence and compliance.
