Lesley Groff

Biography

Lesley Groff was one of Jeffrey Epstein's longest-serving employees, working as his executive assistant for more than 20 years. Her tenure meant she was present throughout the period during which Epstein's abuse network operated at its peak, and her proximity to his daily operations made her a figure of significant interest to investigators.

Named as a potential co-conspirator in the 2008 Non-Prosecution Agreement, Groff received federal immunity that shielded her from prosecution. Despite this, she was charged in a 2021 federal indictment, though those charges were eventually dropped.

Victim depositions and investigation records describe Groff as managing Epstein's administrative affairs and communications. Multiple witnesses referenced her as being present and aware of the constant flow of young women through Epstein's residences, though the extent of her knowledge and participation remains contested.

Groff settled civil claims brought by Epstein's victims. She has publicly maintained that she was an unwitting participant with no knowledge of criminal activity, describing herself as a conventional administrative employee who processed paperwork and managed schedules without understanding the true nature of Epstein's activities.
