Nadia Bjorlin

INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY

Nadia Bjorlin is a survivor of sexual abuse by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. She publicly disclosed her abuse by testifying at the Ghislaine Maxwell federal trial in November 2021, appearing as the first of four accusers under the court-approved pseudonym "Jane." She chose the pseudonym to shield her husband, children, and herself from the stigma of sexual abuse, though her identity has since been publicly reported. Bjorlin testified that Maxwell and Epstein first approached her at Michigan's Interlochen Arts Camp in the summer of 1994, when she was 14 years old. She described a pattern of grooming and escalating sexual abuse that continued for approximately five years, until 1999, when she relocated from New York to Los Angeles. During this period, she testified, Maxwell was directly involved, including touching her and being present during sexual abuse perpetrated by Epstein. The abuse began when Bjorlin was 14 and continued until she was approximately 19. Her testimony was a central component of the government's case against Maxwell. In addition to her trial testimony, Bjorlin's connection to the case has been documented through Epstein's known ties to Interlochen, where he held a cabin on the campus property and is believed to have used the arts camp environment to identify and target young victims. Bjorlin is a professional actress, known for her longtime role on the soap opera "Days of Our Lives." She has been recognized as a courageous survivor for coming forward to testify in a high-profile federal proceeding.
