OAKLAND PARK, Fla (Gambling911.com) - New details have emerged from an amended lawsuit claiming Playboy founder Hugh Hefner contacted the FBI multiple times in 2005 after former Playmate Audra Lynn Christiansen told him Jeffrey Epstein had allegedly sexually assaulted and trafficked her.
According to the filing, Christiansen turned to Hefner believing his connections could help get authorities to take her allegations seriously. She was 23 at the time and residing at the Playboy Mansion. The lawsuit claims the FBI didn’t follow up with her until 2020, 15 years later and after Epstein’s d*ath.
The allegations are part of a lawsuit brought by 32 Epstein victims accusing the FBI of failing to properly act on reports involving Epstein dating back to the 1990s.
The individual he allegedly trafficked her to, according to the filing, was Macau casino billionaire Stanley Ho. He died in 2020 at the age of 98.
Ho was never charged in connection with any of Epstein's crimes.
Christiansen, professionally known as Audra Lynn, is an American model and actress. Christiansen was named Playboy Cyber Girl in August 2002, followed by her selection as Miss October 2003.
Her profile expanded beyond Playboy. She appeared on the March 2005 cover of Italian Rolling Stone and participated in a David LaChapelle fashion shoot alongside Pamela Anderson, Karen McDougal and Tishara Cousino.
She has also had numerous guest television roles including on The Girls Next Door and Frasier.
