Elisabetta Ferretto, a former model and victim of Jeffrey Epstein, who recounted fighting off the perv with a sex toy, has been found after reports that she went missing in NYC. Newsflash\/NX<\/p>\n

At the start of April, she flew from the US to Veneto in northeastern Italy to visit her parents and brother, before returning to New York later the same month.<\/p>\n

Until April 22, she had stayed in daily contact with her family, especially her elderly mother back in Italy.<\/p>\n

But when she stopped answering calls, and appeared to have deactivated her social media, her panicked relatives reported her missing.<\/p>\n

The Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, working in partnership with US authorities, confirmed that Ferretto had been found safe in the US.<\/p>\n

News of her safe discovery was reported by the Carabinieri, Italy\u2019s military police force, on Tuesday, Italian newspaper Il Messaggero reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ferretto was one of the first women to accuse pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein of sexual abuse. DOJ<\/p>\n

Law enforcement sources told The Post they have no record of a missing persons report for Ferretto in the Big Apple.<\/p>\n

Ferretto opened up about her chilling experience with Epstein in an interview with The Post<\/a> in 2019.<\/p>\n

The ex-model said her booker sent her to Epstein\u2019s Manhattan townhouse in 2004, claiming the meeting \u201cwould change her life\u201d by getting her a job as a Victoria\u2019s Secret model.<\/p>\n

But instead of a professional meeting, the disgraced Wall Street bigshot started undressing in front of her and moving toward a massage table.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought he was preparing to have a massage, and that someone was about to come in to the room and give him a massage,\u201d Ferretto said.<\/p>\n

Epstein then told her to come closer and handed her a sex toy.<\/p>\n

Ferretto \u201cfroze\u201d and then \u201cgrabbed the vibrator and threw it at his head,\u201d she recalled.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know where it landed, I just blacked out and then I ran as fast as I could out of the room,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

As a panic-stricken Ferretto tried to flee the sex criminal\u2019s lair, she remembered being grabbed by a woman who resembled Ghislaine Maxwell<\/a> with short black hair who demanded to know what she was doing.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe told me that I couldn\u2019t just leave. She said that this man is important, that he is a friend of President Clinton<\/a>,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A former model and victim of Jeffrey Epstein, who recounted fighting off the perv with a sex toy,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":221128,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[6769,7373,4860,9,24,55,54,56,87154,58],"class_list":["post-221127","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york-city","tag-jeffrey-epstein","tag-missing-persons","tag-models","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-new-york-city-headlines","tag-new-york-city-news","tag-ny","tag-sex-toys","tag-us-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221127","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=221127"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221127\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/221128"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=221127"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=221127"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=221127"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
