- Leaked emails published by Dagens Nyheter and hosted on ddosecrets.com show financier Barbro Ehnbom introduced Sofia and that Epstein offered travel and acting-school places.
- The Royal Court rejects claims that Sofia received help with acting training or a U.S. visa, saying she was never dependent on Epstein.
