New documents from the Jeffrey Epstein investigation reveal that the convicted sex offender met Swedish supermodel Caroline Winberg in autumn 2011 and expressed interest in her via emails. Epstein asked friends about her and invited her to a gala in New York. The documents, recently made public, highlight his connections to Swedish women.
Jeffrey Epstein met the Swedish supermodel Caroline Winberg in November 2011, according to email conversations made public on Friday as part of over three million documents from the investigation against him. After the meeting, Epstein emailed his former girlfriend Eva Dubin, who won Miss Sweden in 1980, asking: “Do you know a Caroline Winberg, she’s with IMG, Swedish from Stockholm.” Dubin replied that she didn’t know her and asked if she was a model.
The same day, Epstein contacted Faith Kates, co-founder of the Next Models agency, asking: “I met Caroline Winberg, IMG, do you know anything about her?” Kates replied: “Nothing really, she’s old though, nothing special, she’s 26.”
Through an intermediary, Epstein later invited Winberg to a gala in New York where Eva Dubin was to be honored for her work with breast cancer patients. Dubin founded a clinic that year at Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan. The email stated: “Caroline, Jeffrey really liked meeting you (even before the makeup, haha) on the flight to Paris. Since I’m very inventive, he asked me to forward a message to you.” The email also mentions conversations about surfing in Costa Rica and Epstein’s relationship with Dubin.
The documents also show Epstein’s interest in other Swedish women through his friendship with Swedish-American financier Barbro Ehnbom, who introduced him to young Swedish women, including Princess Sofia. Epstein wrote in several emails to Ehnbom: “Where is my Swedish wife?”
Epstein was sentenced in 2008 to 18 months in prison for sex crimes against minors. He was charged in 2019 with sex trafficking and took his own life in custody a month later. Eva Dubin distanced herself from him when new suspicions emerged. No further emails about Winberg have been found so far, and Expressen is seeking comment from her.
