Summary
This document is an FBI FD-350 form containing a newspaper clipping from The Palm Beach Post dated January 25, 2008. The article reports on a federal lawsuit filed by attorney Jeffrey Herman on behalf of a 14-year-old girl ('Jane Doe') and her parents against Jeffrey Epstein, seeking over $50 million for alleged sexual assault in 2005.

Palm Beach man faces lawsuit in teen sex case

WEST PALM BEACH — The parents of a teenage girl sued part-time Palm Beach resident Jeffrey Epstein for more than $50 million on Thursday, alleging that the wealthy money manager had her brought to his mansion for a massage, then engaged in sexual activity with her.
The girl, identified only as Jane Doe, was 14 at the time. She was the youngest of several alleged victims of Epstein, according to Palm Beach police, who spent 11 months investigating him.
The federal lawsuit, filed by Miami attorney Jeffrey Herman, says “Epstein has a sexual preference and obsession for underage minor girls.” Epstein “gained access to primarily disadvantaged minor girls in his home, sexually assaulted these girls, and then gave them money.”
Herman, who specializes in child sex abuse litigation, sued on behalf of the girl, her father and her stepmother on grounds of sexual assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress and loss of parental consortium.
“Jane Doe ... fell into Epstein’s trap and became one of his victims,” the lawsuit says.
“We’re dismayed by the filing of the lawsuit, but not surprised,” said Jack Goldberger, one of Epstein’s attorneys. “We think this shows what this case is all about: money.”
He and another Epstein attorney, Lilly Ann Sanchez, launched an immediate counteroffensive, even showing up at Herman’s news conference outside the federal courthouse in West Palm Beach. They distributed copies of documents showing that the girl’s father and stepmother have prior arrests for financial crimes the lawyers say show the lawsuit is financially motivated. Another Epstein lawyer, Gerald Lefcourt, a prominent New York criminal defense attorney, provided some of those
