Where is Johanna Sjoberg? Ghislaine Maxwell was given massages by Jeffrey Epstein’s sex slave, court papers reveal

Alike Epstein’s other victims, Sjoberg was hired by Maxwell, when she was attending Atlantic College in Palm Beach where she was a student of psychology

Jeffrey Epstein died on August 10, 2019, but the revelations that came after his death surely shook the world. According to the latest revelation by the court papers that came to light, Epstein's closest aide and alleged ex-girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, was allegedly given massages by Epstein's sex slave, Johanna Sjoberg. Maxwell, 58, denied declaring if she and Sjoberg, then a student, were lovers, or if the sessions led to them having sex.

Earlier it was reported that Sjoberg had accused Prince Andrew of allegedly grabbing her breast in 2001 at the New York home of his now deceased friend Epstein. In her testimony, she said Prince Andrew and his other victim, Virginia Giuffre, sat on a couch with a puppet on her lap. She added: “And so then I sat on Andrew’s lap — and I believe on my own volition — and they took the puppet’s hands and put it on Virginia’s breast, and so Andrew put his on mine."

Sjoberg, now 40, is working as a hairstylist at her small business in West Palm Beach, Florida. Earlier it was revealed that during Easter 2001, she was invited to Epstein’s seven-story townhouse for a get-together where she met Prince Andrew. “Prince Andrew was there and Ghislaine and a couple of other girls my age. Were at the home," she told The Daily Mail, “Andrew was very charming. I didn’t know exactly who he was but felt that I knew him. She (Ghislaine) came down with a present for him – a latex puppet of him from Spitting Image.”

According to the official website of the Beautyfool salon that Sjoberg owns, it offers “on location” styling and “travels extensively” for her clients “maintaining their perfect hair color in places like Santa Monica, NYC, Aspen and St Tropez". The website also reveals that Sjoberg started styling hair “as a child, initially cutting hairstyles for her Barbies and on to her brothers”, and that she’s trained at “Vidal Sassoon in London, as well as Frederic Fekkai and Tony & Guy in New York to educate herself in cutting and coloring techniques”. As per a Metro report, last year, in November 2019, Sjoberg was pictured for the first time in 10 years.

Alike Epstein’s other victims, Sjoberg was hired by Maxwell, when she was attending Atlantic College in Palm Beach where she was a psychology student at that time. She had hoped to become a family therapist. In February 2001, Maxwell approached Sjoberg and offered her a job making $20 per hour to answer phones and serve occasional drinks at Epstein’s home. “I thought, what a great opportunity!” Sjoberg told The Daily Mail, “It seemed pretty easy. I felt as if I had fallen into a pot of gold. All my friends were jealous of me for getting such a great job.”

Last year, when the revelations started to come to light, people started sharing Sjoberg's picture on the Internet. One Netizen shared her picture and wrote:
