The new Epstein network?

The core investigative thesis unfolds here: a global trafficking operation generating billions of dollars for powerful men does not simply evaporate when its figurehead is arrested or dies [1] — Candace Owens "Epstein's trafficking network was deeply embedded in pageantry, modeling agencies, and Eastern European recruitment. When the scandal broke…" 03:35 . Candace argues the Epstein network pivoted in 2018 — the year Charlie Kirk and Erica Franzfeh began dating, and the exact year the Miami Herald published its landmark exposé triggered by the unsealing of Ghislaine Maxwell's defamation case. Epstein's modus operandi, Candace explains, relied on the modeling and pageantry world: Eastern European women from war-torn countries were recruited under the guise of modeling careers, funneled through agencies, and paraded across runways while the abuse was hidden in plain sight. The pivot point she identifies is Next Model Management in New York, run by Faith Cates — a close Epstein associate who publicly supported him even after his 2009 arrest. Workers at the agency, Candace says, allege that Erica Franzfeh (now Erica Kirk) was the point of contact for the model apartment while Epstein frequently visited. Eastern European models brought through the office were allegedly then flown to Epstein's Virgin Islands parties. Candace calls for a simple, definitive response from Turning Point USA: either confirm or deny Erica's presence there — especially given that Erica Kirk now has direct access to American high schoolers through Turning Point's Club America program.
The Epstein Network's Pivot: From Modeling to Turning Point?
Epstein's trafficking network was deeply embedded in pageantry, modeling agencies, and Eastern European recruitment. When the scandal broke in 2018, Candace argues the network didn't dissolve — it pivoted. And the timing of Erica Kirk entering Charlie Kirk's life, allegedly connected to Epstein associate Faith Cates's modeling office, is too precise to ignore.
Erica Kirk linked to Next Model Management
Workers at Next Model Management — run by close Epstein associate Faith Cates — alleged Erica Kirk (née Franzfeh) was the point of contact for the model apartment, while Epstein frequently visited the office.
Erica Kirk and Next Model Management
Workers at Next Model Management — a talent agency run by Faith Cates, a close Jeffrey Epstein associate who never turned her back on him — alleged that Erica Kirk was the point of contact for the model apartment. Eastern European models brought through the office were reportedly flown to Epstein's parties in the Virgin Islands.

Steven Feinberg: Trump's Wealthiest Official Owned a Trafficking-Linked Mercenary Group
