Gone But Not Forgotten: Andrew Gosden

Florida officials conducted an internal review into the handling of Jeffrey Epstein’s 2007–2008 non-prosecution agreement (NPA) after years of public outrage over how the deal was reached and why it so dramatically undercut federal sex-trafficking charges. The review focused primarily on the Palm Beach State Attorney’s Office, which allowed Epstein to plead guilty to minor state charges despite overwhelming evidence of serial sexual abuse of minors. Prosecutors concluded that while the outcome was deeply troubling, they found no prosecutable misconduct by state attorneys involved at the time. The internal findings leaned heavily on procedural defenses, arguing that decisions fell within prosecutorial discretion, even as the deal allowed Epstein to serve minimal jail time with work release and avoid federal indictment altogether.Critics have long argued that the Florida review was structurally designed to absolve the system rather than interrogate it, narrowly framing the inquiry to avoid confronting how extraordinary the Epstein deal truly was. The investigation did not meaningfully examine coordination with federal prosecutors, political pressure, or the extent to which Epstein’s wealth and legal firepower distorted the process from the outset. Nor did it grapple with the fact that victims were never notified of the deal, a violation later confirmed by a federal judge under the Crime Victims’ Rights Act. In practice, the Florida internal investigation functioned less as a reckoning and more as institutional damage control—acknowledging public anger while insulating decision-makers and leaving the central question unanswered: how one of the most notorious sex-trafficking cases in modern U.S. history was quietly neutralized before it ever reached open court.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The New York Times has reported that Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein shared a much closer relationship in the late 1980s through the 1990s and early 2000s than Trump has publicly acknowledged. According to the Times, Epstein described Trump as his “best friend,” and the two socialized frequently at parties, spoke often by phone, and were part of the same high-society circles, particularly bonding over women. Epstein’s former employees told the Times that Trump often discussed sex with him rather than business, and Epstein was described as Trump’s “most reliable wingman” in that era. While Trump has denied involvement in Epstein’s criminal conduct, the Times cited newly released emails and interviews suggesting Trump was aware of Epstein’s sexual abuse of girls, though no evidence has surfaced that Trump was directly involved in those crimes.The reporting also highlighted specific incidents and firsthand accounts that paint a picture of their social interactions: Epstein introduced several women to Trump, including at least one who was a minor at the time, and an email referenced Epstein “giving” Trump a 20-year-old woman. Former employees recounted Trump sending modeling cards to Epstein “like a menu,” and one woman’s story described Epstein directing her to social events where Trump was present. Although Trump and Epstein’s friendship reportedly soured by the mid-2000s, and Trump has repeatedly sought to distance himself from Epstein—saying they had a falling-out long before Epstein’s legal troubles—the Times reporting underscores a deeper and more personal connection than Trump has acknowledged.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/us/jeffrey-epstein-donald-trump.htmlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Reports that Jeffrey Epstein and Harvey Weinstein once discussed teaming up to purchase a magazine offer a revealing glimpse into how two serial abusers operated in overlapping elite ecosystems, treating media ownership as both status symbol and leverage. According to multiple accounts, the plan reflected a shared belief that controlling a publication could provide influence, insulation, and credibility—another layer of protection in worlds where access and reputation were currency. The idea was never just about business; it fit a broader pattern in which powerful men sought proximity to institutions that shape narratives, quietly reinforcing their ability to move through social and professional spaces without scrutiny. That two figures later exposed as prolific predators were contemplating a joint media venture underscores how normalized their behavior was within certain elite circles long before public reckoning arrived.That normalization reportedly shattered when a falling out occurred, allegedly triggered by Weinstein crossing a line even Epstein would not tolerate—specifically, allegations that Weinstein assaulted or otherwise abused one of Epstein’s girls. While details remain contested and largely filtered through secondary reporting and witness accounts, the story has circulated consistently: Epstein, who notoriously treated young women as his property and instruments of control, reacted not out of moral outrage but territorial fury. The alleged rupture highlights the grotesque logic governing these men’s interactions—where exploitation was routine, but violating another abuser’s “ownership” was unforgivable. Whether or not every detail can be proven, the episode illustrates how predation, power, and entitlement operated openly enough that even disputes between abusers became known within elite networks, long before victims were believed or protected.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Chauntae Davies, who was recruited as a masseuse for Jeffrey Epstein through Ghislaine Maxwell while training in massage therapy, alleges that her first encounter quickly turned sexual when Epstein masturbated in front of her. She returned under pressure and manipulation, believing that further appointments would rectify the situation. However, she claims that on the third or fourth session, Epstein raped her—beginning a pattern of repeated sexual abuse over a span of approximately four years across multiple locations, including New York, his Palm Beach mansion, the Caribbean island, and internationallyDavies describes being groomed through seemingly generous gestures—Epstein paid for her culinary education and her sister’s overseas studies—to blur the lines between caretaker and exploiter. She says that his and Maxwell’s control, plus the power dynamics highlighted by Epstein’s influential connections, made it difficult to escape until much later. Though Epstein died before she could confront him in court, Davies continues to fight for justice, expressing enduring fear and a sense that he remains “winning in death,” keeping the victims from closure.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Jennifer Araoz alleged that Jeffrey Epstein began grooming her when she was just 14 years old, after one of his female recruiters approached her outside her New York City high school. Araoz claimed the recruiter slowly built trust, inviting her to Epstein’s mansion under the guise of mentorship and financial assistance. Over several visits, Araoz says she was manipulated into giving Epstein massages while wearing only her underwear, and eventually, those encounters escalated into full sexual assaults. She described being paid hundreds of dollars after each incident, reinforcing the transactional and coercive nature of the abuse.By the time she was 15, Araoz alleges that Epstein forcibly raped her during one of those visits. She recalls being paralyzed with fear, crying and begging him to stop, while he overpowered her. Afterward, he handed her money and continued to manipulate her into silence, using his power and the threat of isolation to keep her from speaking out. Araoz later dropped out of school due to the emotional toll of the abuse. She eventually filed a lawsuit against Epstein’s estate, his employees, and also named individuals and institutions she believed enabled the abuse by failing to protect her. Her account underscores the deliberate, calculated way Epstein preyed on underage girls—using female recruiters, financial coercion, and institutional neglect to shield himself from consequences for years.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:New Jeffrey Epstein accuser: He raped me when I was 15Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Jeffrey Epstein’s time at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in Manhattan was marked by extraordinary irregularities that immediately set his detention apart from that of ordinary federal inmates. After his July 2019 arrest on federal sex trafficking charges, Epstein was placed in the Special Housing Unit, officially for his own protection, but the conditions of that confinement were riddled with contradictions. He was housed in a unit that was understaffed, plagued by malfunctioning cameras, and run by a Bureau of Prisons already under scrutiny for mismanagement. Despite being classified as a high-risk inmate due to the seriousness of the charges, his wealth, and the potential exposure of powerful associates, Epstein was repeatedly removed from standard suicide watch protocols. He was briefly placed on suicide watch after being found injured in his cell in late July, then taken off it under circumstances that were never convincingly explained, returning to a unit where basic safeguards were visibly failing.The failures at MCC culminated in Epstein’s death on August 10, 2019, when he was found unresponsive in his cell, officially ruled a suicide by hanging. On the night of his death, guards assigned to check on him allegedly fell asleep and failed to perform required welfare checks, while security cameras outside his cell were either broken or produced unusable footage. His cellmate had been transferred out shortly before his death, leaving Epstein alone despite prior concerns about self-harm. The combination of staffing shortages, ignored protocols, missing or nonfunctional surveillance, and a pattern of administrative negligence created a perfect storm that has fueled widespread skepticism about the official narrative. Epstein’s death at MCC did not close the case; instead, it intensified public distrust in the federal prison system and reinforced the perception that even in custody, Epstein remained surrounded by institutional failure and unanswered questions.The warden in charge of the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) at the time of Jeffrey Epstein’s death, Lamine N’Diaye, was reassigned and eventually quietly retired amid ongoing scrutiny and federal investigations into the circumstances surrounding the high-profile inmate’s suicide. After Epstein was found dead in August 2019, Attorney General William Barr ordered the warden removed from MCC and reassigned to a Bureau of Prisons regional office while the Department of Justice and Inspector General probed the facility’s lapses. Although there were efforts within the Bureau of Prisons to move him to other posts — including as acting warden at another federal facility — those moves became entangled with the unresolved investigations, and N’Diaye ultimately stepped away from his role quietly as the inquiries continued, with little public explanation or high-profile disciplinary action.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
