Jeffrey Epstein, the leader of a complex commercial sex trafficking and

abuse ring, was an officer, director, or employee of many corporate entities
registered in various states throughout the United States, one or more of which may

Epstein in committing such violations or those of his wealthy, famous, or socially
powerful friends with whom Jeffrey Epstein caused Plaintiff to be sexually abused
by, or those who were employed through, or worked for, numerous other corporate

that caused harm to Plaintiff, may additionally be added as defendants.
18.

A substantial part of the acts, events, and omissions giving rise to this

cause of action occurred in the Southern District of New York; venue is proper in
this District. 28 U.S.C. section 1391(b)(2).
19.

At all times material to this cause of action, Jeffrey Epstein (legally

represented now through Darren K. Indyke and Richard D. Kahn as Joint Personal
Representatives of the Estate of Jeffrey E. Epstein (and referred to herein as “Estate
of Jeffrey E. Epstein”) and Corporate Defendants owed a duty to Plaintiff to treat
her in a non-negligent manner and not to commit, or conspire to commit, or cause to
be committed intentional, criminal, fraudulent, or tortious acts against Plaintiff,
including any acts that would cause Plaintiff to be harmed through conduct
committed against her in violation of Common law battery, New York Penal Law
section 130.20; or New York Penal Law 130.35; or New York Penal Law 130.50; or
New York Penal Law 130.52; or New York Penal Law 130.66; or any violation of
18 U.S.C. §1591 - §1595.
FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS
20.

At all times material to this cause of action, Jeffrey Epstein was an adult

male over 45 years old. Epstein was a tremendously wealthy individual, widely
recognized as a billionaire, who used his wealth, power, resources, and connections
5

 Case 1:19-cv-07772 Document 1 Filed 08/20/19 Page 6 of 52

to commit illegal sexual crimes in violation of federal and state laws and who
employed or conspired with other individuals and corporate entities to assist him in
committing those crimes or torts or who facilitated or enabled those acts to occur.
21.

Epstein displayed his enormous wealth, power, and influence to his

employees; to the employees of the corporate or company entities who worked at his
direction; to the victims procured for sexual purposes; and to the public, in order to
advance, carry out and conceal his crimes and torts.
22.

At all relevant times, Epstein had access to numerous mansions, as well

as a fleet of airplanes, motor vehicles, boats and one or more helicopters. For
example, he regularly traveled by private jet aboard a Boeing aircraft (of make and
model B-727-31H with tail number N908JE) or a Gulfstream aircraft (of make and
model G-1159B with tail number N909JE).
23.

Jeffrey Epstein also frequently inhabited and travelled between

numerous properties and homes, each of which he admitted to being owned or
controlled by him, including a Manhattan townhome located at 9 East 71st Street,
New York, NY 10021 valued conservatively by Jeffrey Epstein’s own admission at
$55,931,000.00; a ranch located at 49 Zorro Ranch Road, Stanley, New Mexico
87056 valued conservatively by Jeffrey Epstein’s own admission at $17,246,208.00;
a home located at 358 El Brillo Way, Palm Beach, Florida 33480 valued
conservatively by Jeffrey Epstein’s own admission at $12,380,209.00; an apartment
6

 Case 1:19-cv-07772 Document 1 Filed 08/20/19 Page 7 of 52

located at 22 Avenue Foch, Paris, France 75116 valued conservatively by Jeffrey
Epstein’s own admission at $8,672,820.00; an Island located at Great St. James
Island No. 6A USVI 00802 (parcels A, B, C); and an Island Little St. James Island
No. 6B USVI 00802 (A, B, C). See Jeffrey Epstein “Asset Summary – June 30,
2019” filed in Case 1:19-cr-00490-RMB on July 15, 2019 attached hereto as Exhibit
A.
24.

Jeffrey Epstein controlled or was otherwise affiliated with the

corporation or business entities that owned, managed, or maintained each of the real
properties listed in the preceding paragraph.
25.

The allegations herein concern Jeffrey Epstein’s tortious conduct

committed against Plaintiff; while at the residence owned by Defendant Nine East
and then Defendant Maple; or the residence located in the United States Virgin
Islands owned by LSJ. Many such acts were facilitated by Defendant NES, or
Defendant HBRK, or Defendant JEGE.
26.

Epstein had a compulsive sexual preference for young females, as

young as 14 years old, and acted on that sexual preference for decades.
27.

Epstein enjoyed sexual contact with young females, including minor

children, and also took pleasure corrupting vulnerable and innocent young females,
including minor children, into engaging in sexual acts with him.

7

 Case 1:19-cv-07772 Document 1 Filed 08/20/19 Page 8 of 52

28.

Epstein directed a complex system of individuals, including employees

and associates of Defendant entities, to work in concert and at his direction, for the
purpose of harming young females through sexual exploitation, abuse and
trafficking.
29.

It was widely known among individuals regularly in Epstein’s presence

that he obtained pleasure from corrupting and inducing vulnerable young females
into engaging in uncomfortable and unwanted sexual acts for his own gratification.
30.

Epstein’s illegal sexual activities were investigated by law enforcement

on at least two occasions, once in 2005-2008 by the United States Attorney for the
Southern District of Florida, and more recently by the United States Attorney for the
Southern District of New York.
31.

On July 2, 2019, the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern

District of New York filed a Sealed Two Count Indictment including One Count of
Sex Trafficking Conspiracy and One Count of Sex Trafficking for violations of 18
U.S.C. §1591, in part due to Epstein’s criminal activities against children in the New
York Mansion located at 9 East 71st Street.
32.

On July 8, 2019, Jeffrey Epstein was arrested pursuant to the

aforementioned Indictment, which is attached hereto as Exhibit B.
33.

The Indictment stated in part, and Plaintiff herein adopts as true and

relevant to her Complaint, that “Jeffrey Epstein, the defendant, enticed and recruited,
8

 Case 1:19-cv-07772 Document 1 Filed 08/20/19 Page 9 of 52

and caused to be enticed and recruited, minor girls to visit his mansion in Manhattan,
New York (the “New York Residence”) and his estate in Palm Beach, Florida (the
“Palm Beach Residence”) to engage in sex acts with him, after which the victims
were given hundreds of dollars in cash.” Criminal Indictment at 1.
34.

“Moreover, and in order to maintain and increase his supply of victims,

Epstein also paid certain of his victims to recruit additional girls to be similarly
abused by EPSTEIN. In this way, EPSTEIN created a vast network of underage
victims for him to sexually exploit in locations including New York and Palm
Beach.” Criminal Indictment at 1-2.
35.

“The victims described herein were as young as 14 years old at the time

they were abused by Jeffrey Epstein, and were, for various reasons, often particularly
vulnerable to exploitation. Epstein intentionally sought out minors and knew that
many of his victims were in fact under the age of 18, including because, in some
instances, minor victims expressly told him their age.” Criminal Indictment at 2.
36.

“In creating and maintaining this network of minor victims in multiple

states to sexually abuse and exploit, JEFFREY EPSTEIN … worked and conspired
with others, including employees and associates who facilitated his conduct by,
among other things, contacting victims and scheduling their sexual encounters with
EPSTEIN at the New York Residence and at the Palm Beach Residence.” Criminal
Indictment at 2.
9

 Case 1:19-cv-07772 Document 1 Filed 08/20/19 Page 10 of 52

37.

The indictment further explained, and Plaintiff adopts and alleges, that,

“[v]ictims were initially recruited to provide ‘massages’ to Epstein, which would be
performed nude or partially nude, would become increasingly sexual in nature, and
would typically include one or more sex acts.” Criminal Indictment at 3.
38.

“Epstein abused numerous minor victims at the New York Residence

by causing these victims to be recruited to engage in paid sex acts with him.”
Criminal Indictment at 3.
39.

In addition to the allegations in the criminal indictment referenced

above, Epstein also utilized a similar, if not the same, scheme many years before the
time period that was charged and many years after, as well as in additional locations
nationally and internationally.
40.

Corporate Defendants enabled Jeffrey Epstein to receive daily

massages from young females, often minors, who were not experienced in massage.
Rather than receive regular body massages, Epstein was predictably sexually
abusing the young females, including Plaintiff, in violation of New York Penal Law
Section 130.
41.

Additionally, employees of the various Corporate Defendant performed

actions or failed to perform actions that further placed victims, including Plaintiff,
in danger of being sexually abused by Epstein, and assisted in the concealment of
his sexually abusive acts.
10

 Case 1:19-cv-07772 Document 1 Filed 08/20/19 Page 11 of 52

42.

Defendants employed many recruiters of young females, or directed

employees of his related companies, to recruit young females. In order to grow the
enterprise and satisfy his insatiable sexual desire, Epstein and those working at his
direction enabled victims themselves to elevate their status within the enterprise to
that of a paid recruiter of other victims, an elevation only made possible through the
assistance of Defendants.
43.

Recruiters were taught by Jeffrey Epstein or by employees of Corporate

Defendants to inform targeted young female victims that Epstein possessed
extraordinary wealth, power, resources, and influence; that he was a philanthropist
who would help female victims advance their education, careers, and lives; and that
she only needed to provide Epstein with body massages in order to avail herself of
his nearly unlimited assistance and influence.
44.

Epstein and Corporate Defendants and their many employees fulfilled

Epstein’s compulsive need for sex with young females by preying on their personal,
psychological, financial, and related vulnerabilities. Epstein and Defendants’ tactics
included promising the victims money, shelter, transportation, gifts, employment,
admission into educational institutions, educational tuition, profession, licensure,
protection, healthcare, and other things of value.
45.

Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual attraction to young, often underage, females

dated back to at least the mid-nineties and the number of victims increased
11

 Case 1:19-cv-07772 Document 1 Filed 08/20/19 Page 12 of 52

substantially with the necessary assistance from Defendants and Defendants’
employees.
46.

Defendants, at the direction of Epstein or in furtherance of his demands,

and with help from assistants, associates and underlings, and even other victims,
recruited or procured dozens if not hundreds of young females, including minors,
for the purpose of Epstein’s sexual gratification.
47.

Jeffrey Epstein, and employees of certain Corporate Defendants,

including at least Defendant HBRK, specifically targeted underprivileged,
emotionally vulnerable and/or economically disadvantaged young females to
sexually molest and abuse.
48.

Additionally, Jeffrey Epstein and Corporate Defendants, through

employees, informed young females, including Plaintiff, that Jeffrey Epstein was
wealthy, well-connected, and had the power and ability to impact the life of any
young female recruited or obtained to provide a massage.
49.

Each of the Corporate Defendants committed acts of negligence that

allowed for Epstein to commit acts in violation of New York Penal Law section 130.
50.

Each of the Defendants committed acts against Plaintiff in violation of

18 U.S.C. §1591 - §1595.

12

 Case 1:19-cv-07772 Document 1 Filed 08/20/19 Page 13 of 52

PRISCILLA DOE
51.

Plaintiff was twenty years old when she met Jeffrey Epstein in 2006, at

a time when Jeffrey Epstein was under federal criminal investigation by the United
States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida in relation to his commission of
various federal crimes, including violations of 18 U.S.C. §1591, against more than
30 identified minor females.
52.

Plaintiff was a dancer in New York when she was recruited to meet

Jeffrey Epstein by another young female who had also fallen prey to Jeffrey
Epstein’s sex trafficking scheme.
53.

The recruiter asked Plaintiff if she wanted a job giving massages to a

very wealthy man.
54.

Plaintiff agreed to meet Jeffrey Epstein, knowing that she would be

going to a New York mansion to give a wealthy man a massage.
55.

The first time to the Mansion at 9 East 71st Street, she was taken

upstairs and Jeffrey Epstein paid her hundreds of dollars to give him a massage. This
massage was not sexual and Jeffrey Epstein used the time to ask Plaintiff about her
life, during which he learned that Plaintiff was a virgin, she was economically very
poor, she loved and wanted to financially support her mother, and she was very
religious and consequently would not have sex before marriage.

13

 Case 1:19-cv-07772 Document 1 Filed 08/20/19 Page 14 of 52

56.

Jeffrey Epstein paid Plaintiff for the massage, took her number and told

her someone would call her to return.
57.

Associate 1 called Plaintiff and told her to come back for a second time.

58.

Again, on a second visit, Plaintiff was taken to the massage room in the

Mansion and Jeffrey Epstein spent much of the time asking questions about Plaintiff,
learning what she cared about, what professional plans she had, and what problems
she was experiencing.
59.

By the third visit, in 2006, Jeffrey Epstein informed Plaintiff that he had

resources that he would use to advance Plaintiff’s dance career if she would do what
he wanted her to do.
60.

Plaintiff started visiting Jeffrey Epstein more regularly and he began

making the massages more sexual, digitally penetrating Plaintiff, and using sexual
objects to insert in Plaintiff.
61.

Jeffrey Epstein always reminded Plaintiff that because of the money he

was paying her for the commercial sex acts that he called “massage,” she was able,
for the first time, to pay for her mother’s rent and for her own groceries.
62.

During her conversations with Jeffrey Epstein, Plaintiff repeatedly

reminded him that she was a virgin, and that her religion would not allow her to have
sexual intercourse before marriage.

14

 Case 1:19-cv-07772 Document 1 Filed 08/20/19 Page 15 of 52

63.

Despite the fact that he had assured Plaintiff he would not try to have

sexual intercourse with her, Jeffrey Epstein forced himself on Plaintiff and took her
virginity against her will and wishes.
64.

In 2006, Jeffrey Epstein told Plaintiff she was going on a trip with him

to his island in the United States Virgin Islands.
65.

On that trip was Jeffrey Epstein, Jean Luc Brunel, Ghislaine Maxwell,

Associate 2, Associate 8, and two other victims in addition to Plaintiff.
66.

It was there that Ghislaine Maxwell taught Plaintiff the “proper way to

give a blow job,” describing to her the exact way that Jeffrey Epstein liked to be
sexually serviced orally.
67.

Ghislaine Maxwell explicitly told Plaintiff she needed to learn how to

properly sexually service Jeffrey Epstein in the exact way that he preferred.
68.

Ghislaine Maxwell then taught Plaintiff step by step, using her own

hands to demonstrate, how to pleasure Jeffrey Epstein manually so that Plaintiff
would know exactly how to make Jeffrey Epstein happy.
69.

The instruction by Ghislaine Maxwell included training on the proper

pressure to apply, the location in which pressure should be applied, the location of
the various nerve endings that should be stimulated, and the areas of the penis that
are the most sensitive for targeted stimulation.

15

 Case 1:19-cv-07772 Document 1 Filed 08/20/19 Page 16 of 52

70.

Ghislaine Maxwell made it clear to Plaintiff that it was very important

for her to understand and take this instruction seriously. The message delivered to
Plaintiff by Ghislaine Maxwell was conveyed in a serious manner that instilled
genuine fear in Plaintiff that her failure to comply would cause her serious harm.
71.

When Plaintiff was called in to “massage” Jeffrey Epstein on the Island

after Ghislaine Maxwell’s instruction, he reiterated the same instruction that Plaintiff
was provided by Ghislaine Maxwell using a hands on approach.
72.

In addition to providing sexual instruction, Ghislaine Maxwell further

made sure that Plaintiff and the other young females were constantly on call to
sexually service Jeffrey Epstein.
73.

While on the Island, Associate 2 also made it clear to Plaintiff that when

Jeffrey Epstein asked her to engage in certain sexual behavior, she needed to comply.
74.

Shortly thereafter, Jeffrey Epstein forced Plaintiff to engage in sexual

activity with Associate 2 in his presence for his own sexual gratification. The
experience between Plaintiff and Associate 2 was especially uncomfortable for
Plaintiff. Jeffrey Epstein directed Associate 2 to use force on Plaintiff even after
Plaintiff stated that she was uncomfortable and did not want to participate in the
sexual acts then underway. At one point during the encounter, Jeffrey Epstein put
his hands around Plaintiff’s neck, which caused her a great deal of fear and

16

 Case 1:19-cv-07772 Document 1 Filed 08/20/19 Page 17 of 52

discomfort. Jeffrey Epstein then masturbated and instructed Plaintiff to leave the
room.
75.

Knowing that Jeffrey Epstein and his associates had confiscated her

passport to prevent her from having the ability to leave the Island voluntarily,
Plaintiff feared for her safety and felt forced into engaging in these sexual acts
against her will.
76.

It was clear by this trip that Jeffrey Epstein was extremely powerful and

could cause serious harm to Plaintiff if she disobeyed.
77.

Jeffrey Epstein learned in 2007 that Plaintiff’s 17 year old relative had

serious medical conditions and informed Plaintiff that he would use his resources to
cure them.
78.

Plaintiff and Epstein talked numerous times about the fact that Plaintiff

would only introduce him to her relative if he promised not to engage in any sexual
conduct with her, to which Jeffrey Epstein agreed.
79.

Jeffrey Epstein constantly reminded Plaintiff that he was going to help

cure Plaintiff’s medical condition as a way to force Plaintiff to engage in commercial
sex acts.
80.

While Plaintiff was giving sexual massages, Jeffrey Epstein would

always answer the phone if someone called. Important Business Person 1, Important
Business Person 2, Important Business Person 3, and Important Business Person 4
17

 Case 1:19-cv-07772 Document 1 Filed 08/20/19 Page 18 of 52

were regular callers and people with whom Jeffrey Epstein would have telephone
calls during sexual massages. Plaintiff does not want to reveal the identities of these
individuals out of fear of retaliation.
81.

There were also times when Jeffrey Epstein, during sexual massages,

would be on the verge of ejaculating and would stop in order to make a phone call,
at times saying that nearing sexual climax evoked certain important thoughts in
Jeffrey Epstein’s mind. Jeffrey Epstein would then take or initiate up to four
business calls during any particular sexual massage.
82.

During these phone calls, Jeffrey Epstein would seem to be advising

the individuals he called in a very stern, authoritative voice.
83.

On numerous calls, Plaintiff heard Jeffrey Epstein using a very angry

and threatening tone and voice, making it known to the other party, and to Plaintiff,
that he had the ability to cause serious harm to powerful people and anyone who did
not cooperate with him.
84.

The reasonable impression that Plaintiff had from overhearing his

phone calls and listening to what he told her was that Jeffrey Epstein controlled very
powerful and influential people and that disobeying him would cause serious
repercussions for the disobedient party.
85.

Plaintiff spent considerable time with Jeffrey Epstein and overheard

many conversation. In most, Jeffrey Epstein seemed to be advising other powerful
18

 Case 1:19-cv-07772 Document 1 Filed 08/20/19 Page 19 of 52

individuals in a business context. However, Important Business Person 1 was
someone Jeffrey Epstein spoke to frequently, not only about business matters but
also about what appeared to be intimate personal matters.

Based on the

conversations she heard, and the manner and style of voice Epstein used, Plaintiff
believed for many months that this person was a female.
86.

As Jeffrey Epstein realized Plaintiff’s vulnerabilities, he began

controlling her even more to a point where she felt she had no choice but to engage
in commercial sex acts without putting herself in serious danger.
87.

Jeffrey Epstein would demand that Plaintiff massage him and if he went

to sleep she was told she had to continue to massage him knowing that he would
become very angry if he stopped.
88.

From 2006, when Jeffrey Epstein first forced himself on her and took

her virginity, until 2012, he forced her to engage in commercial sex with him—sex
for money—including intercourse, regularly and consistently. At no time did he
give her a choice not to cooperate.
89.

During that time, Jeffrey Epstein controlled nearly every aspect of

Plaintiff’s life from the clothing and jewelry she was permitted to wear to the career
path she was permitted to followed, to the food she was allowed to consumed.
90.

When Jeffrey Epstein went to jail for sex offenses in Florida, he

maintained contact with Plaintiff. He and employees of Defendant HBRK and
19

 Case 1:19-cv-07772 Document 1 Filed 08/20/19 Page 20 of 52

Defendant NES and Defendant JEGE caused Plaintiff to be transported to Florida in
order to engage in commercial sex with Jeffrey Epstein in his Florida residence while
on so-called “work release” from jail, while he was still wearing his ankle monitor.
91.

After Jeffrey Epstein was no longer in “jail” or on “work release” and

came back to New York, Plaintiff attempted to discontinue seeing Jeffrey Epstein.
This attempt angered Jeffrey Epstein.
92.

There came a time when Plaintiff, on her own, took a trip to Montreal

and Jeffrey Epstein immediately knew that she was gone from New York and
summoned her back to his New York Mansion. He told her she was not permitted
to leave New York without his permission and that she was required at all time to
remain in New York, on call to service his needs when told..
93.

This “disciplining” of Plaintiff in connection with her Montreal trip

caused Plaintiff great fear that if she failed to engage in commercial sex on the terms
and conditions set by Epstein, he or the Corporate Defendants would cause her
serious harm.
94.

Jeffrey Epstein told Plaintiff to move into an apartment in a building he

owned or controlled at 301 East 66 Street, which Plaintiff did.
95.

There it became obvious to her that she was under constant

surveillance; that Jeffrey Epstein was able to monitor and know what she was doing

20

 Case 1:19-cv-07772 Document 1 Filed 08/20/19 Page 21 of 52

in the apartment at all times, and that he was able to know and monitor where she
was going outside the apartment.
96.

Plaintiff, between 2006 and 2012, was trafficked to Jeffrey Epstein’s

Island on Little Saint James on more than twenty occasions. On each occasion she
was forced to engage in commercial sex.
97.

On one occasion on the Island, Plaintiff posted a publicly readable

social media post indicating that she was on the island. The next morning, Jeffrey
Epstein woke her while holding her wrists tightly. He was in a state of great anger.
His laptop computer was open. He began questioning her, stating, “Why did you
make this post? Who has read it? What have you told them?” At the end of the
angry conversation, Jeffrey Epstein threatened Plaintiff and commanded her never
to tell anyone about the commercial sex acts in which he was making Plaintiff
engage, and never to tell her mother of her activities with Jeffrey Epstein. As
punishment for the post she had made, Jeffrey Epstein did not speak with Plaintiff
for a month.
98.

Jeffrey Epstein sent Plaintiff back to New York without paying her for

any of the commercial sex acts she had engaged in with him on the island on a daily
basis over the course of approximately one week.
99.

Plaintiff, from that point forward in 2007, was in fear for her safety and

her life and knew that strict compliance with the dictates of this very powerful man
21

 Case 1:19-cv-07772 Document 1 Filed 08/20/19 Page 22 of 52

was required as a condition of her maintaining her safety and her life. Epstein, in a
show of his anger and power, kicked Plaintiff out of her living quarters, essentially
rendering her homeless overnight. At the same time, Epstein informed Plaintiff that
she was forbidden to tell anyone about him or the sexual activities he was engaging
in with her.
100.

In order to cause Plaintiff to continue to engage in commercial sexual

activity, Jeffrey Epstein made it known that he was close friends with other powerful
and influential people.
101.

Jeffrey Epstein commonly bragged to Plaintiff that Bill Clinton, Donald

Trump, Prince Andrew, and the Sultan of Dubai were among his closest friends.
102.

Plaintiff overhead Jeffrey Epstein talking with the Sultan of Dubai and

on one occasion met him in person, supporting Jeffrey Epstein’s statements that he
was closely associated with this and other powerful friends.
103.

Plaintiff observed photographs of Jeffrey Epstein and Bill Clinton

together and heard Jeffrey Epstein talk about times when Clinton was on his private
island in Little Saint James. Plaintiff never saw Bill Clinton on the island.
104.

As Plaintiff was trying to distance herself from Jeffrey Epstein, he

called her into his massage room and warned her not to lie to him or there would be
serious repercussions. He threatened her with these repercussions in order to cause
her to continue to engage in commercial sex. Epstein worked with the people and
22

 Case 1:19-cv-07772 Document 1 Filed 08/20/19 Page 23 of 52

resources of his vast enterprise, including Corporate Defendants, to ensure that
Plaintiff would comply.
105.

On one occasion, Jeffrey Epstein forced Plaintiff to serve hors

d’oeuvres at Epstein’s private party with Woody Allen. This server’s role was
forced upon Plaintiff in order to demean her, frighten her, and impress upon her the
need for her to conceal the commercial sex trafficking enterprise he was running.
106.

Jeffrey Epstein constantly told Plaintiff that her opportunities were

endless as long as she complied with his dictates but that he could take it all away
from her if she did not.
107.

There came a time when Jeffrey Epstein forced Plaintiff to give other

powerful friends massages. During some of these massages she was sexually
abused, by force, against her will, by the friends whom she had been required to
massage.
108.

Plaintiff, trying desperately to leave the proximity and influence of

Jeffrey Epstein, failed to show up for multiple appointments at his mansion.
Associate 1 contacted Plaintiff on behalf of Epstein and told her that Jeffrey Epstein
was very upset with Plaintiff’s behavior. This warning caused Plaintiff to experience
extreme fear and anxiety for her safety and her life. This fear and anxiety ultimately
had its intended effect and Plaintiff returned to Jefferey Epstein’s mansion to
continue to engage in commercial sex acts.
23

 Case 1:19-cv-07772 Document 1 Filed 08/20/19 Page 24 of 52

109.

Jeffrey Epstein informed Plaintiff again that her career opportunities

were endless as long as she complied with his demands.
110.

Jeffrey Epstein instructed Plaintiff in 2011 that he was putting her

through massage school and she had no choice but to attend.
111.

While she was in massage school, Jeffrey Epstein constantly asked

Plaintiff to recruit other young females from the massage school and became angry
and threatening when she refused to do so.
112.

Jeffrey Epstein forced Plaintiff to wear certain color panties, remove

certain body piercings, and undergo surgery by Jeffrey Epstein’s doctors to remove
body moles. Plaintiff complied with these demands with the understanding,
conveyed to her by Epstein, that she had no other choice. .
113.

From 2006 through 2012, Jeffrey Epstein and his associates and

employees recruited, enticed, harbored, transported, provided, obtained, maintained,
and solicited Plaintiff knowing that force, threat of force, fraud or coercion would
be used to compel Plaintiff to engage in commercial sex acts.
114.

The commercial sex acts included intercourse, the use of sex toys

inserted inside Plaintiff, digital penetration, forcible touching and many other sexual
acts.
115.

Plaintiff was made to engage in commercial sex acts in New York every

year from 2006 to 2012 (except for a brief period of time in late 2008 through 2009
24

 Case 1:19-cv-07772 Document 1 Filed 08/20/19 Page 25 of 52

during which time Jeffrey Epstein was technically in jail in Florida); in the United
States Virgin Islands from 2006 to 2012 (except, again, during a brief period of time
during which Jeffrey Epstein was technically in jail in Florida); in Florida from 2007
to 2012 (including, as noted, sexual activity while Jeffrey Epstein wore his ankle
bracelet); and in in New Mexico between 2007 and 2010.
116.

There were sexual acts in addition to those described above which

acts are too graphic and perverted to detail in the complaint. Each and all of such
acts were required by Jeffrey Epstein and his Corporate Defendants, all of whom
worked together to cause Plaintiff to engage in such acts, including Defendants’
informing her that if she refused to engage in such acts she would suffer serious
harm.
117.

In order to maintain Plaintiff’s compliance, Defendant Jeffrey Epstein

also informed Plaintiff that he would use his vast resources to get Plaintiff’s relative
the serious medical care she needed, further enticing Plaintiff through fraud to
engage in commercial sex acts.
118.

Multiple associates, employees, and corporate entities assisted

Defendants in causing Plaintiff to engage in commercial sex acts knowing fraud
would be used to cause her to continue to engage in such acts. This assistance
included making promises, scheduling medical appointments or promising to
schedule medical appointments, promising medical care to Plaintiff’s close relative,
25

 Case 1:19-cv-07772 Document 1 Filed 08/20/19 Page 26 of 52

and otherwise making representations about Epstein’s ability to secure medical
treatment for Plaintiff all while knowing that these representations were false and
fraudulent and designed to entice and induce Plaintiff to commit commercial sex
acts for Jeffrey Epstein.
119.

In order to cause Plaintiff to engage in each commercial sex act, Epstein

and his co-conspirators, associates, employees and related corporate entities,
including Corporate Defendants, used coercion, and knew that coercion would be
used, in order to cause Plaintiff to engage in such acts.
120.

Epstein and various associates, employees, and related corporations and

employees, including Corporate Defendants, worked in concert together as an
enterprise with extraordinary power, wealth, and resources capable of affecting
Plaintiff’s life in positive or negative ways depending on her level of cooperation,
all while knowingly conveying these promises and threats to Plaintiff.
121.

Epstein and others associated with Epstein, including employees of

Defendant HBRK, bragged about Epstein’s unusual political and powerful
connections and his ability to obtain education, housing, or medical needs for young
females who cooperated with Epstein’s sexual demands.
122.

In addition to being explicitly reminded by Epstein, or one of his

associates, of his extraordinary power to reward and punish Plaintiff, his power to
do so was apparent to Plaintiff, inasmuch as: (1) she visited Epstein many times at
26

 Case 1:19-cv-07772 Document 1 Filed 08/20/19 Page 27 of 52

his New York mansion, located at 9 East 71 Street, New York, New York, , where
she knew that Jeffrey Epstein when in New York (The mansion was owned by
Defendant, Nine East 71st Street, Corporation, from 1989 to 2011 until it was deeded
to Defendant, Maple, Inc., on December 23, 2011, the entity that maintains lawful
possession today); (2) she flew on the Boeing 747 jet owned by Defendant, JEGE,
Inc., and controlled by Jeffrey Epstein and related companies; (3) she visited his
Florida Mansion located at 358 Brillo Way, Palm Beach, Florida owned by Jeffrey
E. Epstein from 1990 through December 23, 2011; and (4) she visited his private
Island in the United States Virgin Islands, located at No. 6B Red Hook Quarter, U.S.
Virgin Islands, previously owned by Defendant L.S.J., LLC prior to its having been
deeded to Nautilus, Inc., a United States Virgin Islands corporation, on December
23, 2011.
123.

Under Epstein’s control were numerous companies with many

employees and obvious resources, each of whom worked for the Epstein enterprise.
While the individuals were employees of various Epstein related companies,
including Defendant Corporations, it was clear through explicit words, actions and
appearances that all such employees acted at Epstein’s direction and for his
protection.

This team of individuals included chefs, butlers, receptionists,

schedulers, secretaries, flight attendants, pilots, housekeepers, maids, sex recruiters,
drivers and other staff members.
27

 Case 1:19-cv-07772 Document 1 Filed 08/20/19 Page 28 of 52

124.

Each of the employees and associates were paid through companies

believed to have been funded by Jeffrey Epstein and, regardless of such funding,
were disciples of Jeffrey Epstein, constantly informing Plaintiff and other victims of
Jeffrey Epstein’s power and ability to improve or destroy a victim’s life depending
on her level of cooperation.
125.

The main and in many instances only function of each of the associates

who acted at the instruction or direction of Epstein was to recruit, entice, harbor,
transport, provide, obtain, maintain, or solicit young females, knowing that fraud or
coercion would be used to cause each female, including Plaintiff, to engage in a
commercial sex act.
126.

Each such associate described above was also employed to perform

functions in order to avoid detection of the illegality of Epstein’s commercial sex
trafficking and to forever conceal the enterprise.
127.

One significant element of the sex trafficking scheme—a scheme used

to compel commercial sex acts of young females, including Plaintiff—was its design
and effort to avoid detection. This concealment was furthered by the enterprise’s
design, actions, and patterns of behavior which caused Plaintiff and others similarly
situated to believe that failure to perform acts required by the scheme would result
in serious psychological, financial, or reputational harm.

28

 Case 1:19-cv-07772 Document 1 Filed 08/20/19 Page 29 of 52

128.

The scheme included frequent statements to Plaintiff and other victims

by Jeffrey Epstein and his associates, including employees of Defendant HBRK,
that: (1) Jeffery Epstein was of extraordinary wealth, power and influence; (2)
Jeffrey Epstein’s business and political friends, including world leaders, included
some of the most powerful people in the world; (3) the scheme or plan was designed
to constantly grow the number of victims through the recruitment of other victims;
(4) Jeffrey Epstein had the ability to advance or destroy nearly anyone financially,
reputationally, or otherwise; (5) medical and normal life necessities would be denied
victims if they, including Plaintiff, failed to perform commercial sex acts for Epstein;
and (6) Epstein could take away Plaintiff’s and other victims’ life needs such as
shelter or housing if she or they failed to perform those acts.
129.

Jeffrey Epstein bragged about knowing some of the world’s most

powerful people; introduced some of them to Plaintiff; and required Plaintiff to
perform sexual massages on some of them. These circumstances caused Plaintiff to
believe that Jeffrey Epstein and his organization was powerful enough to cause her
serious harm if she did not strictly follow his and their demands.
