Who is Larsen in the Epstein files?

It isn't one person. "Larsen" is a surname shared by several unrelated individuals. The most substantive references are to Terje Rød-Larsen, a Norwegian diplomat, who appears in scheduling emails from Epstein's assistant and in correspondence with Richard Kahn. Other Larsens include Sonia Larsen, who appears in 2014 corporate-legal emails, and Janet Larsen, who wrote to Ghislaine Maxwell in 2003.

Did Epstein meet with Larsen?

Emails from April 2011 show Lesley Groff confirming to Jilla Moazami that they would see "Mr. Larsen" at Jeffrey's home at 3pm that day. In October 2011 she asked "Mr. Larsen" to call Jeffrey. The emails give only the surname, but they sit alongside other correspondence with Terje Rød-Larsen. They show that meetings and calls were arranged. They don't say what was discussed.

What is the Nordea bank account email about?

In a June 2013 chain, Terje Rød-Larsen wrote to Richard Kahn that the account was at a Norwegian bank (Nordea) and in his own name, and asked that any documents needing his signature be emailed to him. The text available doesn't say what the account was for. The files also include a notarial certification of Rød-Larsen's signature on a promissory note, and an investment-style record dated 12/21/2015 that lists him alongside Epstein, but the available text doesn't establish the terms or purpose.

Is Sonia Larsen connected to Epstein?

The documents show Sonia Larsen as a recipient or copied party in 2014 emails about the ArtSpace asset purchase and the Phaidon re-organisation, among lawyers and advisers such as David K. Lakhdhir, Eileen Alexanderson and John Murphy. Some of these emails appear in Epstein's mailbox as forwards. Nothing in the text shown suggests a personal relationship with Epstein.

Why does Larsen appear in so many unrelated documents?

The name is common, and the search matches surnames wherever they occur. Some matches are the Washington Examiner's Larsen, credited in political newsletters, and an FBI employee, Sara A. Larsen, on email distribution lists. Others are an author in an academic citation list and a commenter on a news article. A mention of "Larsen" does not by itself imply any connection to Epstein.

Ambiguous surname reference in Epstein documents

"Larsen" is a surname that several unrelated people share in the Epstein files. The most substantive references are to Norwegian diplomat Terje Rød-Larsen, who was scheduled to meet Epstein at his home in April 2011 and corresponded with his staff and accountant. Others are "Sonia Larsen" in 2014 business-legal emails and "Janet Larsen" in a 2003 email to Ghislaine Maxwell.

The most substantive records involve Terje Rød-Larsen. In October 2011 Epstein's assistant Lesley Groff emailed "Mr. Larsen" to ask him to call Jeffrey. In April 2011 she confirmed to Jilla Moazami that "we will see Mr. Larsen at Jeffrey's home today at 3pm". Emails from 2013 show Rød-Larsen telling Richard Kahn that a Norwegian bank (Nordea) account was in his name, and a 2017 message he sent was forwarded to Epstein. Another group of emails (August to December 2014) shows "Larsen, Sonia" copied on legal and corporate correspondence about the ArtSpace asset purchase and a Phaidon re-organisation. A 2003 email from "Larsen, Janet" to Ghislaine Maxwell is headed "New York versus Brazil". Many other hits are unrelated: Washington Examiner reporter "Larsen" credited in political newsletters, an FBI employee named Sara A. Larsen on distribution lists, academic citations, and a reader comment on a news page. Of the 90 documents, 71 are emails and only 4 are substantive non-email records; 18 emails have a Larsen in the From/To/Cc header.

Key Highlights

•Lesley Groff's emails from April and October 2011 show Epstein's office arranging a 3pm meeting with "Mr. Larsen" at Epstein's home and asking Larsen to call Jeffrey. In context these appear to concern Terje Rød-Larsen, though the emails give only the surname.
•A June 2013 email chain shows Terje Rød-Larsen telling Richard Kahn that a Norwegian bank account (Nordea) was in his name and offering to sign any needed documents. A 2017 email from him was forwarded to Epstein.
•A 2011 email to "Mr. Rod-Larsen" with photos of Palais Batthyany at Bankgasse 2 follows a property viewing. A 2013 email shows UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon thanking "Mr. Larsen" for arranging a trip to the Middle East.
•"Sonia Larsen" is a different person. She is copied on 2014 ArtSpace and Phaidon re-organisation emails with Eileen Alexanderson, John Murphy and David K. Lakhdhir, and these look like professional legal or financial work with no link to Epstein himself in the text shown.
•A 2003 email from "Janet Larsen" to Ghislaine Maxwell, subject "New York versus Brazil", is a separate Larsen. The text available here doesn't show what the exchange was about.
•A large share of the other hits are incidental. They include a Washington Examiner byline in political newsletters, FBI staff listings, academic references and a reader comment. They say nothing about any relationship with Epstein.
