Ferretto was among the early individuals to publicly accuse Jeffrey Epstein of inappropriate conduct. She alleged that during a meeting at his Manhattan residence in 2004, what she believed to be a professional opportunity turned into an uncomfortable and distressing situation. She later spoke publicly about the incident in 2019, describing how she left the residence abruptly.
Her account was part of a wider wave of allegations that brought renewed scrutiny to Epstein’s conduct and network.
Originally from northern Italy, Ferretto had been living in New York since 2001 and had worked as a model. In her earlier statements, she said she had been introduced to Epstein through industry contacts and was told the meeting could help advance her career.
Her claims emerged years after the alleged incident and added to a broader body of testimonies from women who said they had encountered Epstein under similar circumstances.
There is currently limited official information regarding the circumstances of her disappearance. Authorities have not confirmed whether an active investigation is underway in New York. Family members continue to seek information about her whereabouts. No link has been established between her past allegations and her disappearance.
