How Epstein Used Sham Marriages, Student Visas To Keep Women Bound To Him

Jeffrey Epstein, the infamous financier and convicted sex offender, employed manipulative tactics to control women, often leveraging their immigration status to maintain his influence. In 2013, Karyna Shuliak, one of Epstein's associates, faced anxiety over her visa situation in the United States. To alleviate her concerns, she entered into a marriage with an American citizen, a common strategy employed by Epstein to bind women to him. This tactic not only provided a legal pathway for visa security but also created a facade of normalcy in the lives of those involved. Epstein’s network often exploited vulnerabilities, using sham marriages and student visas to manipulate women into compliance. The revelations surrounding Epstein’s actions have shed light on broader issues of coercion and exploitation within the context of immigration, raising important questions about the intersection of personal relationships and legal status. As investigations continue, the impact of Epstein's predatory behavior on his victims remains a critical topic of discussion, highlighting the need for systemic reforms to protect vulnerable individuals from similar predicaments in the future.
