An FBI intake report from August 2020 documenting a woman's call to the National Threat Operations Center alleging that Ghislaine Maxwell approached her at a Palm Beach gym when she was 14 years old, approximately 28 years earlier (~1992).
This is an FBI intake document recording a tip received on August 17, 2020, just weeks after Maxwell's arrest. The caller reported that around 1992, when she was a 14-year-old working out at Jupiter Gym (now Elite Gym) in Palm Beach, FL, Maxwell approached her through the gym window, spoke to staff, then offered the minor opportunities in modeling, international travel, and massages. The caller noted Maxwell mentioned 'Victoria Secret' and massages. The caller never followed up because she had a hip defect that prevented runway modeling. This document corroborates the pattern of Maxwell's recruitment tactics—approaching young girls in public places with modeling offers as a cover.
