A 31-year-old woman filed a Manhattan lawsuit against Jeffrey Epstein on Monday, accusing the convicted sex offender of raping her when she was only 15. The accuser also urged Prince Andrew and Epstein’s associates to come forward and expose what they know about Epstein’s sexual crimes.
In an emotional press conference held on Monday, the accuser claimed that Jeffrey Epstein was only a small part of an insidious system that exploits children as sexual commodities and robs them of their youth. Accompanied by celebrity attorney Gloria Allred, she recounted how Epstein sexually assaulted her sometime in 2004 while on a school class trip in New York City.
Filed under the pseudonym Jane Doe 15, the lawsuit claims that the accuser met Epstein during her trip to New York. She was then shuttled on Epstein’s private plane with several other girls to his ranch in New Mexico, where Epstein started to make strange sexual insinuations.
The 15-year-old allegedly found her interactions with Epstein on the plane strange, but she recognized a renowned model among the other girls and felt reassured. “Jane Doe 15 remembers finding that reassuring, and thinking, ‘If she’s here, it must be ok,’” the complaint states.
The following day, one of Epstein’s female associates allegedly questioned the victim about her sexual history and summoned her to the main house for a massage. According to the accuser, the red-haired woman massaged her vagina and anus through her tongue before handing her over to Epstein, who wanted to give her an orgasm. The lawsuit states that Epstein only stopped assaulting her with a vibrator when the victim faked an orgasm.
After assaulting her, Epstein allegedly promised to help her achieve her goal of studying biochemistry at a specific college, presenting her with a $5,000-check and several hundred dollars in cash. She left the ranch soon after that and declined subsequent invitations to join Epstein at his private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
According to the accuser, it was clear to her that something was wrong with Epstein’s lifestyle and it should not take a victim to see that. “We were not hidden,” she said. “It is upsetting to me that anyone who is closely associated with Jeffrey Epstein didn’t suspect that he might be sexually abusing children,” she added.
She also urged Prince Andrew and those who were close to Epstein to give a statement under oath on whatever information they have about Epstein’s sexual offenses. “Just because Epstein is dead doesn’t mean that others around him don’t deserve their day in court,” she said.
