Epstein investigator tracked down and assaulted by mystery man: report

By Alexander Willis
Published March 9, 2026 12:10 PM ET

A British journalist who had investigated Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell for years revealed that she had been tracked down by a supposed private investigator while in public, bribed with drugs and cash and then sexually assaulted, The Guardian exclusively reported Monday.

That journalist was Lucia Osborne-Crowley, who in 2024 published “The Lasting Harm,” a behind-the-scenes account of Maxwell’s 2021 trial on sex-trafficking charges, including exclusive interviews with alleged victims of Epstein and Maxwell.

It was in September of 2022, Osborne-Crowley told The Guardian, that she flew to Miami, Florida to meet with and interview Carolyn Andriano, a victim whose testimony helped secure Maxwell’s conviction.

PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. − One of Jeffrey Epstein's victims who testified against Ghislaine Maxwell in her trial for sex-trafficking minors has died of an accidental overdose, authorities said.

Carolyn Andriano, 36, was found dead in a hotel room in West Palm Beach, Florida, on May 23, according to West Palm Beach Police Department spokesperson Mike Jachles. Her death wasn't made public until this week.

Andriano died an overdose of methadone, fentanyl and alprazolam, Jachles said. She testified in 2021 that she had been addicted to "pain pills and cocaine" and that she had taken them "to block out" Epstein's sexual abuse. For four years, Epstein had abused her at his Palm Beach mansion, starting in 2001 when she was 14, she said.
