Pedophile Jeffrey Epstein had a secret girlfriend who has been revealed as a children's book author. It is reported that she runs a 'sacred space' in NYC and brands herself as a 'spiritual entrepreneur'. The woman has now been identified as Shelley Anne Lewis, 43, who is a British-born author.

The author was nicknamed 'Chocolate Sauce', said a New York Post report. The news of this previously unknown girlfriend has come up in the latest unsealed documents. According to the Daily Mail, the documents show that Epstein's alleged madam and fellow pimp, Ghislaine Maxwell, had begged him to get 'Shelley' to publicly announce that she was the pedophile's ex in the 2000s. In an email to Epstein that was written in 2015, Maxwell had written, "I would appreciate it if Shelley would come out and say she was your g’friend – I think she was from end [19]99 to 2002." Epstein did not deny that Shelley was his girlfriend and had responded to the email, saying, "Ok with me."

Shelley would often make trips to Epstein's private island also dubbed as the 'Pedo Island'. An ex-colleague spoke about her apparent ties to the disgraced pedophile and said, "Shelley was always very well connected and beautiful. I am shocked and saddened." While Shelley has not yet spoken out about the connection and link to Epstein, she has deleted all of her social media platforms ahead of the latest document reveal. Epstein and Shelley were in a relationship at the time when Prince Andrew allegedly slept with Virginia Roberts, added the report.

At the time when she reportedly started to date Epstein back in 1999, she was around the age of 22 years old with Epstein being 46. The two had reportedly met while she was working in the contemporary art department of Christie's auction house in the big apple. Shelley runs a firm that hosts yoga retreats and has offered 'lifestyle guru' courses to clients who would like to 'heal from their past'. There is no evidence to suggest that she was involved or aware of any of the criminality but is likely to be approached by prosecutors or lawyers who are assisting Epstein's victims to see whether she can help them. 

One of the lawyers said, "Ms Lewis may have information which could be valuable and which could aid victims who are seeking compensation from Epstein’s estate. We would urge her to tell the FBI what she knows." It is said Shelley divides her time between London and New York and owns an £800,000 apartment along with her sister in West London. According to Shelley's father, Brian, who is a retired millionaire businessman, he feels 'very sad' for Epstein victims. He shared, "I’ve not seen my daughter for ages. I have no idea what she would want to say."

Other documents have revealed how Maxwell had actually filmed underage girls being abused which includes one of Epstein's most vocal victims, Virginia Roberts, who has been identified as Jane Doe #3. A document alleges "In addition to participating in the sexual abuse of Jane Doe #3 and others, Maxwell also took numerous sexually explicit pictures of underage girls involved in sexual activities." Ghislaine Maxwell had been arrested on July 2 over accusations that she was complicit in his sex crimes.
