Johanna Sjöberg, a former assistant to Jeffrey Epstein who has alleged abuse by both Epstein and Prince Andrew, has spoken about the role of faith in her recovery.

Sjöberg, who worked for Epstein in her twenties, has said that faith and family have been central to her healing in the years since.

Her remarks follow the suicide of Virginia Giuffre at her farm in Western Australia earlier this year. Giuffre, whose allegations against Epstein and Prince Andrew drew international attention, was 41.

Sjöberg, now in her forties and living quietly in the United States, said that “faith, family and friendships” have sustained her. She continued in her statement: “I can, with full certainty, say that it is only by the Grace of God I’ve found a different path.” Reflecting on this, she added: “But grace allows healing even when justice feels incomplete.”
