One of Jeffery Epstein's victims outlined the abuse she suffered in her victim impact statement, revealing she tried to kill herself twice after being locked up in Ghislaine Maxwell's dungeon as the British socialite was jailed.
Sarah Ransome, 37, said in her victim impact statement, released on Tuesday, she once tried jumping off a cliff while at Epstein's St. Little James private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
She spoke hours before Maxwell was jailed for 20 years at a Brooklyn court on Tuesday after apologizing to Epstein's victims, while claiming the pedophile had hoodwinked her too.
'[I was] nothing more than a sex toy with a heartbeat and soul used to entertain Epstein, Maxwell and others,' she wrote.
'On one visit to the island, the sexual demands, degradation and humiliation ensued me to try to escape by jumping off a cliff into shark-infested waters.
'I was caught by Maxwell and company moments before jumping. At the time, that extremely risky escape seemed more appealing than being raped one more time'.
Ransome said she was only 22 years old when she arrived in New York with hopes of attending the Fashion Institute of Technology.
She said she was targeted by an Epstein-Maxwell recruiter named Natalya Malyshev in a club, who arranged for her to meet the billionaire who allegedly promised to help provide financial support for her to attend her dream school.
'Epstein and Maxwell were masters at finding young, vulnerable girls and young women to exploit' Ransome said.
