We uncover a ‘sensual’ email exchange a mystery woman in AUSTRALIA had with Jeffrey Epstein – and it is laden with innuendo: ‘I’m not yet a woman’
A sickening email chain sent by a young mystery woman in Sydney to paedophile Jeffrey Epstein referenced sending the notorious paedophile ‘sensual’ photographs.
The correspondence, which took place in 2012, also appeared to reference former Australian prime minister Paul Keating’s daughter Katherine – a confirmed Epstein associate.
The tranche of emails, in which the woman’s name was redacted, was uncovered by Daily Mail as part of the United States Department of Justice’s recent release of thousands of Epstein‑related documents.
The young woman, believed to have been a 22‑year‑old Russian national who was in Sydney at the time applying for jobs within the legal profession, emailed Epstein on March 31, 2012.
‘Jeffrey, have you seen the photos I sent you? I think that these are the most sensual, ‘I’m not a girl, not yet a woman’ style photos I’ve ever had,’ she wrote.
The line appeared to reference pop star Britney Spears’ 2001 coming‑of‑age song I’m Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman.
The email continued, ‘I am still loving Sydney so much. I can’t believe your friend Katherine left Syd for NY.’
Epstein, who died in 2019 awaiting trial for sex trafficking, responded to confirm he had received the woman’s photos, and described them as ‘really terrific.’

He did not comment on the woman’s reference to Katherine, which may have been Katherine Keating.
The unnamed woman said she would be in Washington (presumably D.C.) on 23 April for two weeks and asked to visit Epstein.
He said, ‘If I’m there, great.’
She responded, ‘Nice. Will you show me more “how to be good in bed” tricks please?’, accompanied by a wink‑face emoji.
It is not known if the woman was an associate of Ms Keating, who moved from Sydney to New York in the 2010s, where she attempted to build a career in the American television industry.
She has long been known as a former acquaintance of the late financier, his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, and Epstein associate, the former royal Andrew Mountbatten.
She was famously captured on video leaving one of Epstein’s properties in New York in 2011, and in the DOJ’s latest release of files, her name is mentioned in more than 1,200 emails.
On Saturday, Ms Keating described her relationship with Epstein as ‘unfortunate’ and told the Sydney Morning Herald she was forced to cut him off after their close friendship began to ‘border on harassment.’

‘The rest of the trail of inconsequential emails from Epstein, simply go to Epstein’s manic interest in following up any person whom he met or crossed paths with. This is why there are so many emails in the administration’s release of them,’ she said.
In an email to Epstein on April 26, 2011, Ms Keating suggested she bring her younger sister Alexandra to a dinner party with Epstein and Woody Allen after being told the Hollywood director liked ‘pretty women.’
The day prior, Epstein had invited Ms Keating, then 29, to a dinner with Allen and his wife Soon-Yi Previn, writing: ‘Interesting woman, man, must be smart, Woody likes pretty women.’
Ms Keating replied: ‘I could invite my sister, 25, very cool and sharp as a tack.’
The Daily Mail can also reveal that eight months later, in December 2011, Epstein wrote to Ms Keating to enquire about her trip home, likely to see her parents for Christmas.
‘Happy to be home?’ he asked.
‘Very happy. Surprised the whole family. Sydney is spectacular at this time of year,’ she responded, hours later.
The pair met in late 2010 at an afternoon party at Epstein’s house, where Ms Epstein was invited by former British royal Andrew Mountbatten – two years after Epstein was convicted of child sex offences in Florida.

Ms Keating and Epstein regularly emailed for several years, with Epstein inviting her to events such as film premieres, and becoming a mentor-like figure, providing career advice.
The Daily Mail does not suggest otherwise, nor is it suggested that Ms Keating engaged in, or had any knowledge of, any improper or illegal conduct by Epstein or any of his associates.
‘To be unequivocal: I never visited Epstein’s island, never flew on his plane, never had any inappropriate interaction with him or anyone he introduced me to, never witnessed inappropriate behaviour, and had absolutely no knowledge of the criminal conduct that has since come to light.’
It comes as the new tranche of emails also appeared to show Ms Keating had been enlisted by Epstein to paint Mountbatten in a positive light to a journalist.
In an email from March 2011, publicist Peggy Siegal asked Epstein for Keating’s email prior to a meeting with Vanity Fair writer Edward Klein, at which she would say ‘great things about Andrew’, reported the Australian Financial Review.
‘She knows him [Andrew] well and wants to make sure Ed writes positive things,’ Siegal wrote. ‘I will let her do all the talking.’
In January, it was also revealed Ms Keating had shared her banker brother Patrick’s email address with Epstein in May 2011.
In the unearthed emails, Epstein told his close associate Jes Staley, the now-former CEO of Barclays Bank: ‘The son of the former prime minister will take you for fun, I will send you his details.’

Hours later, Katherine forwarded Epstein her brother’s email address at UBS, a Swiss financial services firm where he worked at the time.
A US government court exhibit, released as part of the Epstein files, suggested the two messages were connected.
When approached about the emails by the Daily Mail, Patrick Keating strongly denied ever meeting Epstein or Staley, let alone taking anyone ‘for fun’ at Epstein’s request.
‘I have never had any dealings with Jeffrey Epstein or the other person mentioned, Jes Staley,’ Patrick said.
‘I have never met or communicated with either Epstein or Staley, either directly or indirectly.’
Emails in the files released also showed Epstein had scheduled to meet Former prime minister Kevin Rudd on Sunday, June 8, 2014 at 4.30pm, but Dr Rudd strongly denied ever meeting Epstein and said there was no evidence that the former prime minister had accepted any invitation made to him.
‘Our office has no records of this meeting, and the published documents gave no indication about who was involved in organising it. In any case, they were unsuccessful in arranging the introduction,’ a statement from Dr Rudd’s office said.
