Hugh Hefner alerted FBI about Epstein; alleged rape victim, Playboy Playmate, contacted 15 years later: Report
According to new claims, Audra Lynn Christiansen, former Playboy Playmate was abused, raped and trafficked by late Jeffrey Epstein. Allegedly Hefner contacted the FBI ‘multiple times’ on her behalf.
New details have emerged in the Jeffrey Epstein case, with allegations from Playboy founder Hugh Hefner about the FBI's handling of the matter. According to a lawsuit filed by 32 victims in the US District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Hefner alerted authorities in 2005 about Epstein allegedly abusing and trafficking a former Playboy Playmate, Audra Lynn Christiansen.
However, the alleged victim claims she was not contacted by the FBI for nearly 15 years following her initial report. Christiansen approached Hefner in 2005, believing his "clout" would help her case. The lawsuit alleges the FBI did not follow up on multiple reports concerning Epstein's sexual abuse, some dating back to 1996. After Epstein's death in 2020, the FBI reportedly contacted Christiansen to follow up on her 15-year-old complaint.
