Short Answer
Lesley Groff received immunity under the 2008 federal non-prosecution agreement for her role as Epstein’s longtime executive assistant. She has maintained a very low public profile since the case became public. She lives in Connecticut and has been named as a defendant in civil suits.
In Detail
Lesley Groff worked as Jeffrey Epstein’s executive assistant for approximately two decades, based primarily in New York. Her role was operational: she managed Epstein’s schedule, arranged travel for victims traveling to his various properties, and coordinated the logistics of his personal life. She was named explicitly as a co-conspirator in the 2008 federal non-prosecution agreement.
Role
Court documents and deposition testimony describe Groff as handling the scheduling of young women who traveled to Epstein’s residences. She sent emails, made phone calls, and coordinated flights and accommodations for victims. Her position gave her knowledge of the scope of Epstein’s abuse over many years. Some testimony suggests she was aware of the nature of the visits she was scheduling.
2008 Immunity
Like Maxwell, Kellen, and Ross, Groff received immunity from federal prosecution under the 2008 NPA. She was not charged in connection with the 2021 Maxwell prosecution. The immunity she received — granted without notification to victims — was later challenged in court.
Current Life
Groff lives in Connecticut. She has maintained an extremely low public profile, avoiding media appearances and public statements. Unlike Kellen, who changed her name and moved into motor sports circles, Groff has simply been quiet.
Civil Litigation
Victims have named Groff in civil suits, arguing she participated in and facilitated the trafficking operation and that her immunity from criminal prosecution does not bar civil liability. Those proceedings have produced some depositions and filings.
No Criminal Accountability
Victim advocates have repeatedly cited Groff as a prime example of the failure of the 2008 NPA: someone who, based on available evidence, played a direct operational role in facilitating abuse but who has never faced criminal trial.
