From her complaint (attached):
62. Epstein, Maxwell, and [Redacted] returned to Epstein's ranch. Upon returning from the movie, Maxwell repeatedly told [Redacted] that she wanted to give her a massage. [Redacted] was very uncomfortable with the idea of Maxwell touching her, but realized that she was completely alone with Epstein and Maxwell. [Redacted] feared what would happen if she did not comply with their demands. [Redacted] said that she had never had a massage and tried to avoid having Maxwell touch her body, but Maxwell continued to pressure her. Maxwell directed [Redacted] to take off all of her clothes and lay on the massage table. [Redacted] was extremely scared to be naked in front of Epstein and Maxwell.
63. Maxwell left the door open so that Epstein could view [Redacted] naked body during the massage.
64. Maxwell touched intimate parts of [Redacted] body against her will for the sexual benefit of Maxwell and Epstein.
65. Maxwell exposed [Redacted] breasts and groped her.
66. [Redacted] was extremely distressed and afraid. She was a child in a massive ranch in New Mexico, away from her family in Arizona, and isolated from any source of help. She was alone with Epstein and Maxwell. She had no way to access a phone or other method of communication without Epstein or Maxwell knowing. She had no way of leaving.
