Former Playboy Playmate Says Ghislaine Maxwell Threatened Her After Epstein Abuse (8/18/26)

Former Playboy Playmate Audra Lynn Christiansen said Jeffrey Epstein sexually assaulted and trafficked her after she entered his orbit in 2004, describing an experience that she said eventually led her to seek help from Playboy founder Hugh Hefner. Christiansen, Playboy’s Miss October 2003, said she had been living at the Playboy Mansion when she became connected with Epstein and alleged that she was sexually abused by him and trafficked to other powerful men, including Macau casino billionaire Stanley Ho. According to Christiansen, she eventually told Hefner what had happened and asked him to contact federal authorities because she believed his fame and connections would force the FBI to take her allegations seriously. Hefner reportedly contacted the bureau multiple times on her behalf in 2005, yet Christiansen said the FBI did not meaningfully follow up with her until 2020, years after the alleged abuse and after Epstein was already dead.

Christiansen also described an alleged confrontation with Ghislaine Maxwell after she began speaking about what had happened to her. She said Maxwell threatened her and attempted to intimidate her into silence, reinforcing Christiansen’s portrayal of Maxwell as someone who protected Epstein and helped maintain the atmosphere of fear surrounding women who might expose him. Her account added another dimension to the growing record of warnings authorities allegedly received about Epstein long before his 2019 federal arrest, raising renewed questions about why allegations brought directly to the FBI were not aggressively pursued. Christiansen’s story was especially significant because she claimed that a nationally famous figure with considerable influence had personally contacted federal law enforcement on her behalf, yet even that reportedly failed to produce an investigation capable of stopping Epstein at the time.
