who used his wealth, power, resources, and connections 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.
24. 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

No. 6B USVI 00802 (parcels A, B, and C). See Jeffrey Epstein “Asset Summary – June 30,
2019” filed in Case No. 1:19-cr-00490-RMB on July 15, 2019 attached hereto as Exhibit A.
27. Epstein controlled or was affiliated with the corporation or business entities that
owned, managed, or maintained each of the real properties listed in the preceding paragraph and
enumerated in Exhibit A.
28. The allegations herein concern Epstein’s tortious conduct committed against
Plaintiff while at the residences owned by Defendant Nine East in New York, Defendant Laurel
in Florida, Defendant Cypress in New Mexico and Defendants LSJE and Nautilus in the U.S.
Virgin Islands. Many such acts were facilitated by Defendant NES or Defendant HBRK or
Defendant JEGE.
29. Epstein had a compulsive sexual preference for young females, as young as 14
years old, and acted on that sexual preference for decades.
30. 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.
Case 1:19-cv-09610-PAE-DCF Document 36-1 Filed 12/23/19 Page 7 of 37 Case 1:19-cv-09610-PAE-DCF Document 1 Filed 10/17/19 Page 6 of 34
Page 7 of 34
31. 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.
32. 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.
33. 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.
34. 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.
35. 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.
36. Corporate Defendants enabled 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 young females, including Plaintiff, in
violation of New York Penal Law §130.
Case 1:19-cv-09610-PAE-DCF Document 36-1 Filed 12/23/19 Page 8 of 37 Case 1:19-cv-09610-PAE-DCF Document 1 Filed 10/17/19 Page 7 of 34
Page 8 of 34
37. Additionally, employees of the various Corporate Defendants 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.
38. 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.
39. Recruiters were taught by 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.
40. 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, education tuition, professional licensure, protection, healthcare and other things of
value.
41. Epstein’s sexual attraction to young, often underage, females dated back to at
least the mid-nineties and the number of victims increased substantially with the necessary
assistance from Defendants and Defendants’ employees.

Page 9 of 34
42. 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.
43. 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.
44. Additionally, Epstein and Corporate Defendants, through employees, informed
young females, including Plaintiff that 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.
45. Each of the Corporate Defendants committed acts of negligence that allowed for
Epstein to commit acts in violation of New York Penal Law §130.
46. Each of the Defendants committed acts against Plaintiff in violation of 18 U.S.C.
§1591 – §1595.
JANE DOE 17
47. Consistent with Epstein’s foregoing plan, scheme/enterprise, the Plaintiff was
recruited to provide Epstein with massages for monetary compensation. These massages
provided to Epstein by Plaintiff progressed to instances of inappropriate sexual contact with the
Plaintiff by Epstein in touching, inappropriate vaginal penetration, and outright rape. Plaintiff
was sexually assaulted, violated, and otherwise degraded, injured, victimized, and subjected to
outrageous, reckless abuse and insult.
48. In this regard, the Defendants willingly participated, contributed, cooperated, and
assisted the inappropriate and illegal scheme by facilitating such scheme by and through the
Case 1:19-cv-09610-PAE-DCF Document 36-1 Filed 12/23/19 Page 10 of 37 Case 1:19-cv-09610-PAE-DCF Document 1 Filed 10/17/19 Page 9 of 34
Page 10 of 34
employees of the Corporate Defendants such that the Corporate Defendants were acting jointly
and in concert with the illegal scheme with the goal designed to produce corrupt sexual
gratification for Epstein and degradation for the targets and victims of the corrupt scheme set in
motion with the active involvement of the Corporate Defendants and their employees.
49. Epstein’s abuse of the Plaintiff was not incidental or fleeting but rather was born
out of a pathological desire to achieve, corrupt and deviate sexual gratification through the
subjugation and abuse of Epstein’s targeted victims. The actions on behalf of the Corporate
Defendants by and through its employees enhanced, facilitated, and promoted the deviate sexual
acts of Epstein and contributed a corrupting influence which ensnared unsuspecting women and
girls in its reach.
50. Epstein, by acting singularly and in concert with the Corporate Defendants,
devised a sophisticated plan and a modus operandi which subtly and pervasively over time
connived to influence the victims and subjects of the corrupt and deviant sexual scheme to
influence the will to resist the temptations both actual and promised on behalf of the scheme and
thereby manipulate the victims into acceptance of the scheme as being one that was acceptable
and appropriate by virtue of communications and representations made on behalf of Epstein by
the Corporate Defendants and in fact Epstein himself. The scheme utilized a gradual wearing
down of the victim’s will to resist and did so by virtue of offering positive and negative rewards
for compliance with the scheme’s overall deviant methodology and goals.
51. Once Epstein and the Corporate Defendants’ victims were entrapped and the
scheme’s methodologies enabled, Epstein and the corporate defendants through its employees
utilized techniques to further inhibit, indoctrinate, and threaten Epstein’s victims such that
compliance with the deviant scheme’s goals could be further obtained.
Case 1:19-cv-09610-PAE-DCF Document 36-1 Filed 12/23/19 Page 11 of 37 Case 1:19-cv-09610-PAE-DCF Document 1 Filed 10/17/19 Page 10 of 34
Page 11 of 34
52. The deviant scheme was perpetuated over years by the actions of Epstein and the
Corporate Defendants such that victims were caught up in the scheme, pressure, threats, and
indoctrination techniques utilized to bring the victims to heel.
53. For victims young, vulnerable, and struggling financially, the scheme’s
methodology was particularly effective.
54. As part and parcel of the scheme’s goals, Epstein’s colleagues and acquaintances
were involved in the scheme and benefited from the scheme by virtue of receiving sexual favors
and inappropriate, illegal, and otherwise commercial sexual services provided by Epstein’s
victims such that the corrupt intent of this scheme involved males other than Epstein himself.
As a direct and proximate result of the methodology of the deviant scheme and the goals of
sexual exploitation of the women recruited and victimized, Plaintiff was subject to unwanted
touching of her breasts and genitals, other sensitive areas of her body, required to perform acts
of a sexual nature against her will and subjected to genital penetration and otherwise sexually
degraded, abused, insulted, coerced, and injured, experience resulting in confusion, emotional
distress, mental pain and suffering, shame, humiliation, loss of the enjoyment of life,
inconvenience, and other injuries to body, mind and soul.
55. Epstein and the Corporate Defendants by and through their employees and agents
substantially contributed to proximately cause injury to the Plaintiff as aforementioned.
56. Over a course of years, Epstein and the Corporate Defendants, by and through its
employees and agents, facilitated the multiple rapes conducted on the Plaintiff in addition to
other deviant sexual acts against her will. Furthermore, the plaintiff’s virginity was forcefully
taken from her against her will.

Page 12 of 34
57. This fraudulent scheme of Epstein’s constituted acts of coercion from beginning
to end, from 2001 through mid-2006, inasmuch as the scheme was designed to and in fact,
caused Plaintiff to believe that her failure to perform any sex act required by Epstein would
result in serious financial, reputational, physical and emotional harm to her.
