Pervert Jeffrey Epstein tried to lay a trap for cops by deliberately hiring women in their 20s who appeared years younger in a bid to gain sympathy from the public, one of the people who helped bring him down exclusively told DailyMail.com.

He hoped the women would be seen and his home would be raided and then he could claim he was being hounded, software architect Reichart Von Wolfsheild revealed.

Von Wolfsheild discovered the plot when he was invited to Epstein’s Caribbean island Little St. James for a scientific conference in January 2011.

This was after Epstein had spent time in jail in Palm Beach, Florida, but before his notoriety as a child molester was widely known.

‘They looked genuinely like underage girls,’ said Von Wolfsheild, who decided to accept the invitation to get undercover information for lawyer Bradley Edwards, who was trying to unmask the predator.

‘But when you spoke to them, you realized these were graduates who had PhDs and Masters degrees from places like NYU and Cambridge.

‘I thought: ”This is a trap for law enforcement.”

‘Epstein thought these women were going to be seen and [police] will go after me again and when their ages were discovered he could say ”See, they’re torturing me.”

Von Wolfsheild, 59, said he reported back to Edwards. ‘I told him if you raid him, he will make you a laughing-stock. These are not 16-year-old girls. They all have degrees.

‘Epstein knew all about manipulating the media and how he could turn this to his advantage.’

Von Wolfsheild said there were three women on Little St. James in the US Virgin Islands. All of them, he said appeared to be in their mid-teens, up to 10 years younger than they really were.

He had gone to the island to take part in a ‘Mindshift’ conference along with some of the top minds in a variety of sciences including Nobel laureates Murray Gell-Mann and Frances Arnold.

It was all put together by Al Seckel, a shady ‘sensory illusionist’ who was bigamously married to Isabel Maxwell — sister of Epstein’s long-time girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell, who helped him procure underage girls to massage him.

Von Wolfsheild added: ‘I later asked Isabel what the deal was with the girls and she said there is this whole thing my sister is involved in. She’s Epstein’s liaison and he has a penchant for young attractive girls’

‘About half of what Al told you was made up in his head and the other half was true. But you never knew which was which,’ Von Wolfsheild said of Seckel, who died in 2015. 

Von Wolfsheild developed the data management program Qtask, the system on which lawyer Edwards stored his sensitive information about Epstein. When he and Epstein spoke at the conference, the financier bluntly asked for information that would help him hack Edwards’ files.

Von Wolfsheild said Epstein was particularly interested in the greatest risks to the markets in the following 10-20 years.

‘Afterwards [Nobel laureate] Frances Arnold came up to me and said: ”I never would have thought how scary that could be”.’

Von Wolfsheild had one more conversation with Epstein, he told DailyMail.com, this time on the veranda of a restaurant in St. Thomas.

‘He began asking me about building a dating app. He asked me if there is a way to game the system to find particular people who would interest him.

‘He asked if image recognition was good enough to lift out, say, a MiG from other planes or to tell the difference between a horse and a cow.

‘And could you build one where you could easily find the most attractive women — he didn’t ask specifically about young women, but that was the essence of the conversation.’

Epstein, 66, was found hanged in a federal prison in New York last August. He was awaiting trial for sex trafficking after being arrested on the tarmac at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey.

His death was ruled a suicide, but his lawyers and others have disputed that, claiming he was murdered.

In Edwards’ new book Relentless Pursuit, the lawyer writes that Von Wolfsheild saw Epstein as ‘a lion’ looking for prey. 

That prey was ‘girls who were, according to an old definition, ‘nubile,’ as Epstein put it: ‘The youngest-looking girl with breasts.’

After being jailed in Florida, he did feel the need to be more careful, and so he brought on Von Wolfsheild. ‘Epstein was not going to stop his sex abuse or change his thinking about girls simply because he had been caught in Palm Beach and jailed for a few months under a cushy deal. ‘He couldn’t stop. This was his way of life. It was what drove him’ 

He also said that the financier viewed women as nothing more than ‘a life support system for a vagina.’

Even after he was charged with having underage sex, he did not see that he had done anything wrong, Edwards wrote.

But after being jailed in Florida he did feel the need to be more careful, and that is when he tried to bring Von Wolfsheild on board.

‘Epstein was not going to stop his sex abuse or change his thinking about girls simply because he had been caught in Palm Beach and jailed for a few months under a cushy deal.

‘He couldn’t stop. This was his way of life. It was what drove him.’

With Von Wolfsheild’s anticipated help, Edwards writes: ‘He was just looking for more sophisticated and technologically advanced ways to find more girls and pursue them with less risk.

‘The only thing jail had taught him was to be more careful and not get caught.’
