Straight Shooters and Great Americans: Hugh Hefner Informed The FBI That a Playboy Playmate Had Been Sex-Trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein But They "Back-Burnered" The Tip and Did Nothing for 15 Years

What exactly would you say you do here?

Playboy founder and publisher Hugh Hefner reportedly informed the FBI several times in 2005 that a Playboy Playmate had been sexually trafficked and abused by the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein and others, but the FBI didn't investigate the claim for 15 years, according to court documents.

The Playboy Playmate was Audra Christiansen, who says that Hefner made multiple reports to the FBI, but that the agency didn't follow up at the time, according to former FBI special agent Jennifer Coffindaffer.

"To wait 15 years to conduct this interview and to actually get down to the nitty gritty ... that is just too long to wait," Coffindaffer told "NewsNation Prime" on Saturday. "Somehow, this got back-burnered, and it should have never happened that it would take so long for this investigation to follow through."

...

Christiansen's story suggests that if the FBI had acted on Hefner's calls, Epstein could have been held to account for his actions long before he was arrested and held awaiting trial. Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to solicitation in Florida for which he received a very lenient and highly criticized work-release jail sentence.

The FBI agent says the cover-up and political weaponization agency might have been "swamped" at the time, doing 9/11 investigations.

Still swamped in 2005?

One thing to keep in mind, Epstein had a waiting list of lefty pols, celebs and academics trying to get time alone with him after 2008.

My favorite was some academic who wanted Epstein to come to his conference and offered up he had good looking graduate students who would take good care of Jeffrey if he came...

Serve themselves. Protect? I’m going to take up for the cops here. This is unfair. The cops protect nobody because they can’t protect anybody. Maybe themselves. They investigate crime. But trust me, there isn’t a DPS trooper or a deputy from the local SO on my front porch at all times.

50 My take on this is that they will do anything -- ANYTHING -- to keep the long-dead Jeff Epstein story alive.

I rate this newest revelation as having the same probability of truth as every other one of these dubious "I was sexually abused 20 years ago, but didn't say a word about it until now" stories. That is: very low.

Even if the story is true, it's a big "so what" to me. So an adult semi-porn star living as a semi-whore at the Playboy Mansion was getting fucked by a lot of rich powerful guys. Gee, I'm very shocked at that.

There's real sex trafficking going on, and it ain't at Playboy Mansions with girls voluntarily there for the sole purpose of being sexual playthings.

The real sex trafficking is being done to innocent girls by brutal Latin American gangs and cartels. But going after the cartels could get your head shot off. So everyone would rather talk about a harmless dead rich guy.

51 >>Still swamped in 2005?

FBI uses a system of scientific management -- they "incentivize" certain types of investigations. So management sets priorities, and the agents are rewarded only for investigating that type of crime. After 9/11, even if you were in a unit dedicated to investigating counterfeit CD imported from China, you made it all about "terrorism."

This is important to understand because Obama came in and used this mechanism to turn the entire agency against "white nationalism" and later, Trump.

Biden did the same, but more woke.

Crime which fits the proper category is often scarce, so agents dutifully create it as needed so they can investigate.

The only other real incentives they have is anything that justifies spending large on the expense account, or even better, getting to set up and oversee a field office. Both are very lucrative.

There was an episode of the Whatever podcast I saw where he had yacht girls on. They mentioned that no one forced them to have sex but if you said no you weren't invited back. The girls agreed that wasn't fair and there shouldn't be a requirement to have sex with the yacht owner.

The host asked the girls what they thought the yacht owner would get out of the experience of taking them on an expensive vacation if not sex and the amusing part is the girls were all surprised by this question as if they'd never thought of it before.

My best guess is her story is mostly made up. Because if she was a real prostitute, she would surely understand that the whole point of the transaction is that it's purely a sex act with no emotional attachment.

73 "Playboy founder and publisher Hugh Hefner reportedly informed the FBI several times in 2005..."

Parents of a local teenager filed a report with Palm Beach Police regarding inappropriate sexual contact by Epstein.

Detectives discovered a network where multiple underage girls were recruited and paid cash for sexual encounters.

The 2005 police work stayed local at first, preceding the broader federal involvement and subsequent 2007 non-prosecution agreement led by federal prosecutors in Florida. It was a highly controversial deal orchestrated by then-U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta.

Epstein served 13 months in a Palm Beach County jail & was then granted liberal "work release."

75 My comment #51 is worth considering.

The FBI has this giant lever of "incentives" that tells every agent what to investigate. This is completely out of control, and a big part of the problem

I do not hear anything about Kash Patel fixing this, or even any discussion of how to fix it. I think it has to go to congress and how funds are allocated. Leaving it in the hands of the executive is nice, until a muslim commie like Obama is elected, or a retard puppet like Biden. 4 years of either and they put their people in place and then it is hard to correct.

It wouldn't be out of her wheelhouse to claim the FBI sat on the reports from Hef when they were literally on *her* desk to investigate as a way to cover up her own culpability.

Tread lightly when using her as sourcing.

I imagine a fair amount of this is facilitated by the US Government.

Many trafficked children that were brought to the southern border by "agents" their parents either paid, or owed money to, were then passed off to federal agencies like HHS.

84 One of the more comical things I've noticed in leftwing forums is they'll post pictures of Trump and Epstein at the same NYC parties in the 90s and argue see Trump was an Epstein client.

Then someone will post a picture of Maxwell at the Chelsea Clinton wedding as an invited guest and the argument becomes "of course rich powerful people associate with rich powerful people"

Note Chelsea got married in 2010, so after Epstein was convicted of being a pedo, but before 2012 when Maxwell got her one personal grift...so the only reason to invite Maxwell was because you wanted to keep Epstein in your circle...

Exactly. But nobody wants to confront the real problem, because the real problem might dump your body in a river. They barely were able to show that movie about real sex trafficking.

So instead we jabber endlessly about what happened decades ago to gold-digging yacht girls and playboy playmates and half-whores.

Meanwhile, young girls are being unwillingly brutalized and abused by cartels, and nobody even wants to talk about it, let alone do anything about it.

I imagine a fair amount of this is facilitated by the US Government.

Many trafficked children that were brought to the southern border by "agents" their parents either paid, or owed money to, were then passed off to federal agencies like HHS.

I represented Playboy back in the day. Not joking. It was mostly assessing litigation risk for acquisitions, so not sexy work, but a cool client for a 20-something guy to have.

My main contact at the company was a lady who's name I can't quite remember -- Alexandra, or something like that -- who was an aging smokeshow. I always assumed, but of course never asked, that she got her start at the company as a model or playmate.

I did litigation risk for a XXX-rated enterprise they were looking at buying. I learned that there were very specific "rules" governing what sex acts and how much could be shown for each "rating." R can show this, NC17 can show that, XXX can show this, etc.

The surname Coffindaffer is an Americanized German name with disputed etymological roots. The most scholarly consensus suggests it derives from the German Koffendaffer or Kaufendaffer, translating to "trunk maker," "chest carpenter," or potentially "buyer/trader from Daff(er)", rather than the English words for coffin and devil.

There were also a LOT of crows in the neighborhood. The two species did not peacefully co-exist. An owl or two would get active - the owls hunterd in packs, hooting to drive prey to other waiting to kill. When hooting happened a very large murder of crows would surround them, cawing their fool heads off. I suppose the owls were raiding their nests. I did like the owls. Once I found a neatly severed squirrel head in my gutter. Since I hate squirrels (nasty, climbing rats with good PR), I was quite happy. Thanks, owls!

154 We're living in a bureaucratic techno hellscape.

The driver of a maroon Durango kills three in a hit and run. An ALPR hit flags a Durango. Despite the fact that the tagged Durango is black, has no damage, has not had its airbag deployed, is a partial plate mismatch, and witnesses say that's not the car, they went after the driver.

They took the car for months. She sued to get it back. They arrested her for triple homicide after she sued to get the vehicle back. She sat in jail for 13 days on serious charges.

They put her through seven months of shit because the ALPR system flagged her car and only dropped charges when someone pulled their head out and got the correct driver.

For myself I think its pretty clear Epstein and Maxwell were abusing underage girls. The fact we know they pulled Prince Andrew into it tells me it wasn't just Prince Andrew either. Now underage here I am claiming to be below 18 though age of consent goes lower, I don't want to get into that argument...

Now how big was Epstein's underage sex ring vs supplying yacht girls vs just doling out money for favors? That still isn't clear. The fact most of the women that came forward seem to have been the yacht girl type not underage though makes me believe it was more limited then I had initially thought.

Every person who's been prosecuted for doing something illegal with Epstein has been prosecuted for financial/intelligence crimes. Every woman who's been identified as having been 'exploited' by Epstein was of legal age at the time.

I'm not suggesting that pedo rings don't exist, and I'm not suggesting the Epstein would be unwilling to procure a minor if that's what the deal required. He confessed to being a pedo himself. I'm just saying that all the people who pound their chests about the guy and children have exactly zero evidence that they're correct. Not that it'll prevent them from holding on to that dream.

214 Playboy mostly showed boobs and butts, with some pubic hair back when pubic hair on women was still a thing.

The difference was penetration. Playboy had no penetration.

The only dirty magazines you will find in my Bum's Nest have penetration.

215 Half of why Democrats are still bringing up Epstein is the idea that he's a Mossad agent sent to get your children, and that was his entire reason for being.

218 Christiansen's story suggests that if the FBI had acted on Hefner's calls, Epstein could have been held to account for his actions long before he was arrested and held awaiting trial. Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to solicitation in Florida for which he received a very lenient and highly criticized work-release jail sentence.

One thing to keep in mind, Epstein had a waiting list of lefty pols, celebs and academics trying to get time alone with him after 2008.

My favorite was some academic who wanted Epstein to come to his conference and offered up he had good looking graduate students who would take good care of Jeffrey if he came...

219 but was he going to traffic the girl, or just fuck her himself. What if he wasn't the center of a huge pedo ring? What if it was just financial shenanigans and borderline treason? We have evidence for that.

Posted by: I used to have a different nic at August 17, 2026 02:30 PM (ExV1e)

The biggest evidence I have that there was definitely a ring was the media and Democrats claimed for decades there wasn't. And even with all the Trump bs stuff, the media *still* seems to be on the side of "nothing happened".

Maybe that's a poor conclusion on my part, but I call it "playing the odds".

One of the more amusing parts of this is if you look at the pols, celebs, and academics tied to Epstein you don't see them being particularly pro-Israel after getting favors from Epstein.

This is part of the reason I think he was directly working with British Intel, because you DO seem taking a European line...

223 There used to be, might still be, a train that runs from Shenzhen to Hong Kong on a commuter basis. Last time I was in Hong Kong, about a year before the CCP took control after the Brits surrendered, the Hong Kong authorities started limiting the number of Chinese that could go to Hong Kong because they would buy up all the TP, baby diapers and other staples that weren't available in China.

China is asshoe.

Posted by: JackStraw at August 17, 2026 02:30 PM


Hong Kong was the absolute best liberty port in Westpac for a married guy. You could buy anything you wanted there and all of it was duty/tax free. They had some of the worlds best tailors there as well. If you wanted a new set of dress whites/blues you walk in get measured and pay them. They would deliver the uniforms to the ship in a day or two or the same day if you were in a hurry and paid a premium.


The China Fleet Club run by the Brits was unreal. Top end china along with real silverware and llardo's at factory prices. Again with free delivery to your ship.


Sadly that is all gone now that china owns the islands.

225 I was watching a video by a "retired sex worker" and her claim was she didn't understand how so many men would pay to have sex with someone that didn't want them and how it was all misogyny.
==
well shit, by that standard literally every married man in the world since the beginning of time is a misogynist, because at one time or another wifey was just humoring him... Not that I am in favor of the process - prostitution that is . . .

And in all honesty, when the wife had baby fever many years ago, there were times where I felt like a piece of meat. A meaty sperm delivery device. I got over it. Pretty quickly as a matter of fact. If you dont want to do it, don't do it. But its easier than picking tomatos I guess.

226 > Half of why Democrats are still bringing up Epstein is the idea that he's a Mossad agent sent to get your children, and that was his entire reason for being.

In my experience, that's the position of a significant plurality of the right wing people who still care about Epstein. Lefties mostly only care about Epstein because they can show you pictures of Epstein and Trump together. To hear them talk about it, Trump and Epstein were the only perps involved.

229 >>Mike Benz thinks that Epstein wasn't explicitly running a pedo scheme, he was running a "if you sign up for whatever the CIA wants I'll get you anything you want" scheme. And it just so happens that a lot of the clients like 'em young.

He's right.

Remember the Bank of Credit and Commerce International, BCCI, scandal? John McCain and the Keating 5?

The BCCI was a CIA cutout based in Pakistan. It was used to launder money and fund off the books ops including gun running so governments wouldn't have to get their hands dirty in public.

That's what Epstein was all about. Sex trafficking was the least of his sins but the one the media wants everyone to fixate on.

And it worked.

237 All this discusion about Epstien is just a distraction from the Epstien Files.
I think the reason Epstien was protected in the first place was he was a gun runner for the CeyeA. Adnan Kashogi and G. Maxwell's "dead" dad were all connected to him. I think this is the reason Epstien was eventually "sold" Little St. James. To keep people off it. This is Iran Iraq war/iran contra era. Some really weird yaht sales come up in that era. Trump bought one of them and immediately had it rebuilt. Trump Princess.

I don't know what you're talking about, but the rest of us are talking about the news articles, which say
"sexual abuse" or "sexual assault".

Not rape.

So yeah, I DO have a point.

He lost the teaching part of his gig after Trump released the Epstein files, and IIRC the left was big mad about the attack on "academic freedom" when that happened.
