"A woman came to the door and said that Jeffrey was ready for his massage. She made it seem like it was something normal. It was no big deal.
"Once we were in the room doing the massage is where things took a turn and it, it wasn't, normal anymore."
In a separate interview in the documentary, Teresa Helm, 41, spoke about Maxwell introducing her to Epstein and the trust she felt the two women had.
"Ghislaine got me to the point where I trusted her so much to where I then walked myself to a predator’s home, you know, where I was at some point going to be abused."
She added: "I thought that she was a really good person. You know, she has this beautiful home, she’s with the President. You know, she has a butler, she has a driver, you know, so all that… I mean that was a really solid impression on me that this woman is a good person."
