"He told me: You're really talented. I think you should be in school,' Oh recalled. Epstein invited her to come sit down next to him. He explained that he was a philanthropist, known by so many people, a very generous man, and had sent so many young people to university, often the kids of women he'd been at school with. I completely believed him."
"Oh says Epstein told her she need a bachelor of fine arts degree to make it in the art world and was offering her a scholarship to New York's School of Visual Arts with no strings attached. But, Oh said: He attached a lot of strings to that scholarship. When I wouldn't do all that he wanted he took it away."
Rina Oh, a 21-year-old art student, said she was introduced to Jeffrey Epstein in 2000 by Lisa Phillips and was told Epstein was a generous philanthropist who helped young people attend university. Epstein offered Oh a scholarship to the School of Visual Arts and said she needed a bachelor of fine arts to succeed in the art world. Oh said the scholarship was conditional on sexual compliance and that Epstein revoked it when she refused; she spent roughly two years in his network. Multiple survivors report similar university-admissions or tuition promises used to recruit and control victims. Congressman Jamie Raskin has sought records from Columbia and NYU, and the DOJ plans to release more Epstein-related documents.
