Haley Robson

Haley Robson testified that she was approximately 16 years old when a friend told her she could make money giving massages to a wealthy man in Palm Beach. She went to Epstein’s mansion on El Brillo Way, where the “massage” escalated to sexual contact. She was paid $300.

Afterward, Epstein and his associates offered Robson $200 for every new girl she brought to the house. Robson testified that she understood the arrangement: she would recruit girls from her high school and social circle, bring them to the mansion, and receive a finder’s fee.

Robson described how the system worked as a pyramid. Girls who visited Epstein were offered the same deal — recruit more girls, earn money. She testified that this created an ever-expanding network of teenage girls funneling through the mansion.

She stated that she brought multiple girls to the house, some of whom were 14 or 15 years old. She acknowledged that she knew the “massages” were sexual in nature but felt compelled by the money and by the sense that she was in too deep to stop.

Robson’s testimony was pivotal in the Palm Beach Police Department’s investigation. It demonstrated that Epstein’s operation was not a series of isolated incidents but a systematic recruitment pipeline designed to produce a steady supply of underage girls.

Detective Joseph Recarey used Robson’s testimony and similar accounts to build the case that led to the FBI referral. Robson’s description of the $200 finder’s fee became one of the most cited details in media coverage of the case.
