Epstein victim found safe after vanishing in New York sparks alarm

A former model and victim of Jeffrey Epstein, who recounted fighting off the perv with a sex toy, has been found after reports that she went missing New York City.

Elisabetta Ferretto, 50, sparked alarm after she suddenly stopped contacting her family on April 22, Italian outlet Il Mattino di Padova reported.

The Italian-born fashionista, who has been in New York since 2001, was one of the first women to accuse pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein of sexual abuse.

At the start of April, she flew from the US to Veneto in northeastern Italy to visit her parents and brother, before returning to New York later the same month.

Until April 22, she had stayed in daily contact with her family, especially her elderly mother back in Italy.

But when she stopped answering calls, and appeared to have deactivated her social media, her panicked relatives reported her missing.

The Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, working in partnership with US authorities, confirmed that Ferretto had been found safe in the US.

News of her safe discovery was reported by the Carabinieri, Italy’s military police force, on Tuesday, Italian newspaper Il Messaggero reported.

Law enforcement sources told The Post they have no record of a missing persons report for Ferretto in the Big Apple.

Ferretto opened up about her chilling experience with Epstein in an interview with The Post in 2019.

The ex-model said her booker sent her to Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse in 2004, claiming the meeting “would change her life” by getting her a job as a Victoria’s Secret model.

But instead of a professional meeting, the disgraced Wall Street bigshot started undressing in front of her and moving toward a massage table.

“I thought he was preparing to have a massage, and that someone was about to come in to the room and give him a massage,” Ferretto said.

Epstein then told her to come closer and handed her a sex toy.

Ferretto “froze” and then “grabbed the vibrator and threw it at his head,” she recalled.

“I don’t know where it landed, I just blacked out and then I ran as fast as I could out of the room,” she said.

As a panic-stricken Ferretto tried to flee the sex criminal’s lair, she remembered being grabbed by a woman who resembled Ghislaine Maxwell with short black hair who demanded to know what she was doing.

“She told me that I couldn’t just leave. She said that this man is important, that he is a friend of President Clinton,” she said.
