Lesley Groff Epstein’s “Social Prosthesis
Jeffrey Epstein’s super-efficient secretary was the dead pedophile’s assistant for more than 20 years. Lesley Taylor Groff is now aged in her mid-50s, and is allegedly a keeper of Jeffrey Epstein’s secrets.
The dead sex offender conveniently wrapped all his assistants all up in a nice neat bow, so many of his key staff members are allegedly implicated in the sex trafficking operation.
What do we know about the woman he described as his “social prothesis?”
Lesley is a University of Texas graduate and was brought up with her mother Diana Wright and her identical twin sister, Ashley, who now goes by the surnane of Hobbs. Their father is a musician named Buster Taylor.
In a 2005 interview with The New York Times, Lesley said she had formed a close working bond with Epstein. She would answer his phone and manage his schedule, which led to an affection between the two.
She told The New York Times in 2005 she could almost read Epstein’s mind. "It comes down to the bond," said Ms. Groff to the newspaper. "I know what he is thinking and I know when I need to be fast. It's a nice roll we are on." Epstein told the newspaper he had three assistants earning more than$200,000-a-year. They were on-call for 24 hours-a-day.
The Times added: “He calls them a "social prosthesis," with an intuitive knowledge of his manifold needs and a 24-hour presence that make them virtually indispensable to his personal and business success. “They are an extension of my brain," said Mr. Epstein, who rarely talked publicly. “Their intuition is something that I don't have." So how do you become become mind-melded with your boss primarily by answering his phone, organising his schedule and passing on messages?
Lesley Groff was a gatekeeper and a knowledge manager for Epstein. The dead pedophile said one of the assistants "can pick up the stresses in one of my trader's voices and put the call right through; that can save me hundreds of thousands of dollars." This interesting because Epstein did not directly employ financial traders.
Who was making the calls? What was being said to Epstein? Does Lesley know anything which can help police?
According to a 2008 deposition, Lesley also managed the travel, organisation and accommodation for many of the underage girls. Epstein survivor Sarah Ransome told The New York Times, Lesley communicated directly with her, “repeating Mr. Epstein’s promises to help her obtain a fashion degree.” Lesley also monitored the “rules” the teens and young women were meant to comply with while being trafficked by Epstein, court documents said.
Ms Ransome also alleged in her lawsuit she was instructed by Epstein’s associates to diet and to lose about 11 pounds to maintain her slim figure. In one email exchange reviewed by The New York Times, Ms Ransome told Lesley she was monitoring her weight for Epstein.
The job certainly had its perks. Epstein’s assistants were well catered to when it came to financial benefits.
While working for the sex offender, Lesley was given access to the elite New York hair salon, Frédéric Fekkai. Epstein paid for her visits to the business. where haircuts can cost in 2020 up to $750. It is claimed Fekkai was responsible for Hilary Clinton’s blonde crop. Epstein wasn’t shy about attending the salon with the girls and young women he abused.
According to The Daily Beast: “Multiple former Fekkai employees told The Daily Beast that Epstein regularly brought groups of young women into the New York salon after his conviction, where he paid for their services and had them sit on his lap and stroke his hair. When he was in Florida, former employees said, Epstein would have Fekkai stylists make house calls to his Palm Beach estate.” Either he (Epstein) or a female associate dictated exactly how their hair was styled. In between services, the women sat on Epstein’s lap or stroked his hair—in full view of the hundreds of guests at Fekkai’s 9,000-square-foot hair emporium. “It was very out in the open,” one former employee said. “Everyone knew.”
As well, the deceased pedophile organised take away meals for his staff from a fancy New York restaurant Le Cirque. Lesley was also gifted a Mercedes by Epstein after her maternity leave to help improve her commute after the baby was born. “There is no way that I could lose Lesley to motherhood,” Epstein said. The child abuser added he supplied her with a nanny and paid for the service because he believed she was so vital to his work. Lesley denies any wrongdoing or any knowledge of the sex trafficking operation.
