A woman raped by Jeffrey Epstein says the president of the model agency representing her put her in danger, when he sent her to two photoshoots at the convicted sex offender's Florida beach house.
At the time, in 2009, Epstein was serving a jail sentence for sex offences against a minor but was allowed to work each day from his home.
"My agency's job was to protect me, and they failed. In fact, they put me in danger. And for that, they should be held accountable," she tells the BBC World Service.
