Hugh Hefner is reported to have contacted the FBI with information about Jeffrey Epstein after a Playboy model claims she was abused, raped, and trafficked by him. The allegations are tied to claims made years later by former Playboy associate Audra Lynn (also reported as Miss October 2003), who says Epstein raped and trafficked her.
According to the outlets, Hefner’s alleged reporting to the FBI occurs in the mid-2000s and is described as either an initial call or multiple contacts. The New York Post and Mint (India) both place Hefner’s actions around 2005 and say he contacted the FBI on the model’s behalf. The Daily Mail similarly reports Hefner called the FBI after hearing the allegations.
While all accounts describe Hefner’s involvement in reporting concerns about Epstein, they differ in how they frame timing and emphasis—particularly whether the claim is a single tip or repeated outreach, and how closely the reports link the model’s alleged abuse to the specific FBI contact. The reports rely on claims about past events rather than detailing any new outcome from the FBI.
