Detroit developer Philip Kafka spent a good amount of one-on-one time with sexual trafficker Jeffery Epstein when he was 19, according to a letter penned by Kafka’s father, who was a childhood friend of the disgraced pedophile.

Terry Kafka, who is also referred to as “Johnny Boy” Kafka, of Dallas, TX, appears on one of the first pages of Epstein’s “birthday book.”

The documents inside Epstein’s 50th birthday book were released under House Oversight subpoena this week.

An internet search reveals a documented relationship between Kafka and Epstein.

“From the time we were junior high school students, when it seemed I was always in need of math and science tutoring until today, when I frequently call upon him for business advice, Jeffery has always dropped what he was doing to listen and help,” Terry Kafka wrote in a a document prepared by Epstein’s defense from the Palm Beach County State Attorney’s Office.

Kafka wrote that Epstein had spent “a good amount of one-on-one time with my 19 year old son Philip to help him sort out academic problems he was having.”
