Lesley Groff, who served as Jeffrey Epstein's executive secretary for over 18 years, testified before the House Oversight Committee, labeling Epstein a 'master manipulator'. During her closed-door testimony, Groff stated she was unaware of Epstein's criminal activities, despite being implicated as a potential co-conspirator in a controversial 2007 non-prosecution agreement. She described her role as primarily administrative, claiming that scheduling massages was a small part of her job responsibilities. Groff asserted that she never had a romantic relationship with Epstein and had no knowledge of any sexual abuse occurring during the massage appointments she scheduled. She mentioned that Epstein often claimed he was being blackmailed, which influenced her decision to remain in his employ after his 2006 arrest. Following Epstein's 2019 arrest, Groff resigned, feeling betrayed by his actions. Although she was included in a list of potential co-conspirators, federal prosecutors later concluded that no charges would be brought against her after extensive investigations. Epstein survivor Marina Lacerda has called for Groff to be held accountable, emphasizing her role as a conduit to Epstein.
