Factual Allegations 
8. 
At all relevant times, Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, was an adult male. Mr. Epstein is a 
financier and money manager with a secret clientele limited exclusively to billionaires. He is a 
man of tremendous wealth, power and influence. He maintained homes in New York, New 
Mexico, St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Palm Beach, Florida. The allegations herein 
concern Mr. Epstein's conduct while at his lavish estate in Palm Beach. 
9. 
Upon information and belief, Mr. Epstein has a sexual preference and obsession for 
minor girls. He engaged in a plan, scheme, and/or enterprise wherein he gained access to 
primarily economically disadvantaged minor girls in his Palm Beach home and sexually 
assaulted the girls, or coerced or attempted to coerce the girls to engage in prostitution, and then 
gave them money. 
10. 
In or about 2005, B.B., then 15 years old, fell victim to Mr. Epstein's trap described 
above, at Mr. Epstein's Palm Beach estate. 
11. 
Upon information and belief, Mr. Epstein carried out this scheme/enterprise and 
assaulted girls in Florida, New York and on his private island, known as Little St. James, in St. 
Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. 
12. 
Integral conspirators in Mr. Epstein's Florida scheme/enterprise were 
an assistant of Mr. Epstein from New York City, New York; and-, 
a Palm Beach 
Community College student from Loxahatchee, Florida; and other Jane Does.
 Ms. 
and other Jane Does recruited girls ostensibly to give a wealthy man a platonic massage 
for monetary compensation in his Palm Beach mansion. Under Mr. Epstein's plan/enterprise, Ms. 
was contacted shortly before or soon after Mr. Epstein was at his Palm Beach residence. 
Mr. Epstein, or Ms.IIM, or someone on their behalf, directed Ms. Mi 
and others to bring 
Page 3 of 15 
EFTA01076370
Sivu 4 / 15
one or more underage girls to Mr. Epstein's residence. 
Upon information and belief, 
economically-disadvantaged, underage girls from Loxahatchee and surrounding areas were 
specifically targeted because they were easier to entice by the money being offered (generally 
$200 to $300 per "massage" session) and these girls were perceived as less likely to complain to 
authorities or have credibility if allegations of improper conduct were made. This was pivotal to 
Mr. Epstein's plan/enterprise. 
13. 
Upon information and belief, at all material times, Epstein was a financial backer of 
co-conspirator corporation MC2. MC2 is a modeling agency which employs teenage girls as 
models. Epstein's colleague Jean Luc Brunel is a business partner in MC2. In 1997 Mr. Brunel 
was on the television program "60 Minutes" where there were allegations he took advantage of 
young models that were high on drugs. Upon information and belief, former Elite executive, 
Gerald Marie, is also involved with MC2. Mr. Marie was accused of having sex with underage 
models in a 1999 BBC documentary where he was filmed saying he hoped to seduce contestants 
in a modeling contest in which the average age of the participants was fifteen ("15"). Upon 
information and belief, Epstein as a financial backer of MC2 scouted the minor victims of his 
sexual enterprise for placement into MC2 for the benefit of MC2 and its business partners. 
14. 
Co-conspirator, Alfredo Rodriguez, was employed by Epstein as his house manager. 
At Epstein's direction, Mr. Rodriguez greeted the minor girls upon their entrance into Epstein's 
Palm Beach mansion. Mr. Rodriguez would attempt to comfort the minor girls by offering them 
hospitality as they waited for Mr. Epstein. Independent of Epstein's directions, Mr. Rodriguez 
kept a list of Epstein's minor victims. Mr. Rodriguez attempted to profit from his participation 
in Epstein's Sexual Enterprise by selling said list.

15. 
Co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell, lived with Epstein at his mansion in Palm Beach, 
Florida. She maintained a closet at Epstein's estate in which she kept sexual toys and outfits. 
Ms. Maxwell procured minor girls for Epstein both pursuant to and independent from his 
direction. Upon information and belief, Ms. Maxwell, upon her own volition, actively and 
passively participated in sexual acts with the minor girls she recruited and received sexual 
gratification independent from Epstein's during her participation in Epstein's Sexual Enterprise. 
16. 
Co-conspirator 
was romantically involved with Epstein. She was 
often in Epstein's presence when he received "massages" from minor girls. Upon information 
and belief, Ms 
assisted in coordinating "massages" for Epstein. Upon information 
and belief, Ms. 
upon her own volition, actively and passively participated in sexual 
acts with the minor girls during the "massages" she coordinated and received sexual gratification 
independent from Epstein's during her participation in Epstein's Sexual Enterprise. 
17. 
Additionally, Epstein utilized other women such a 
and Lesley Groff to 
procure underage (under the age of 18) girls to bring to his home and other locations for sexual 
contact and Epstein's sexual gratification. 
18. 
Mr. Epstein's plan, scheme, and/or enterprise had a particular pattern and method. 
Upon arrival at Mr. Epstein's mansion, the underage girls would be introduced to Ms.= 
who in turn gathered the victim's personal information, including her name and telephone 
number. The girls would then be brought up a flight of stairs to a bedroom that contained, among 
other furnishings, a massage table. Photographs of nude women lined the stairway hall and 
bedroom. Ms 
would then leave the girl alone in this room, whereupon Mr. Epstein would 
enter wearing only a towel. Mr. Epstein would then remove his towel, lay down naked on the 
massage table, and direct the girl to remove her clothes. He then would perform one or more 
Page 5 of 15 
EFTA01076372
Sivu 6 / 15
lewd, lascivious and sexual acts, including masturbation, touching the girl's vagina with a 
vibrator, or digitally penetrating the girl's vagina, and coerce or attempt to coerce the girl to 
engage in lewd acts and/or prostitution. 
19. 
This scheme is outlined in the Non-Prosecution Agreement entered into between the 
U.S. Government and the Palm Beach State Attorney's Office. As outlined in the Agreement, 
Epstein, among other violations of law: 
A. 
knowingly and willfully conspired with others known and unknown to 
commit an offense against the United States, that is, . . . to knowingly persuade, 
induce, or entice minor females to engage in prostitution; 
B. 
recruiting, enticing, and obtaining by any means a person, knowing that 
the persona had not attained the age of 18 years and would be caused to engage in 
a commercial sex act. 
(See Ex. A — Non-Prosecution Agreement). 
20. 
In furtherance of this scheme, Epstein utilized his co-conspirators by calling, 
emailing, texting and otherwise utilizing the telecommunications systems to illegally entice and 
engage underage girls to come to his home for inappropriate and illegal sexual contact with him. 
21. 
In furtherance of this scheme and conspiracy, Epstein's co-conspirators benefited 
financially by obtaining Epstein's victims. Epstein would pay his co-conspirators, such as 
a
$100 to $200 for bringing underage victims to Epstein's home. 
22. 
Epstein furthermore used his friends and acquaintances power, financial pressure, and 
political clout in an attempt to alter and improperly influence the criminal investigation of his 
illegal and illicit acts. 
Page 6 of 15 
EFTA01076373
Sivu 7 / 15
23. 
For example, Epstein utilized a Town of Palm Beach elected official and chairman of 
the police retirement board to petition the Chief of Police to stop the Epstein investigation: 
A. 
I had one individual who actually came to see me a couple of times about 
this. 
Q. 
Who was that? 
A. 
Jerry Goldsmith. 
Q. 
Okay. What did he say? 
A. 
He said that this wasn't necessary, this was a case that really was very 
minor. The victims had lifestyles that don't make them - - shouldn't make 
them believable to the police department. And he said that I shouldn't 
have referred it to the FBI and Palm Beach solves its own problems, why 
did I do that, why am I after Jeffrey Epstein. A couple of occasions that 
was the general topic of the discussion. 
Q. 
Did you get the impression that he was trying to get you to essentially 
either drop or smooth over or quiet down the investigation of Mr. Epstein 
in any way? 
MR. CRITTON: 
Form. 
THE WITNESS: 
Initially, yes. 
(Depo of Chief Reiter at 72-73). 
24. 
Phone records show that around this time, Goldsmith was calling Epstein's home and 
likely discussing the investigation with Mr. Epstein.

25. 
Epstein further paid and provided other non-cash financial benefits such as gifts, 
travel, jewelry, attorneys fees etc. to his other co-conspirators including 
These cash and 
non-cash financial benefits total in the hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars. 
26. 
For example, co-conspirato 
estified: 
Q. 
Does your mom know who is paying for the civil attorneys? 
A. 
Yes. 
Q. 
How does she know? 
A. 
Because I told her. 
Q. 
What did you tell her? 
A. 
I told her that my attorney was being paid by Mr. Epstein. 
depo at 145). 
Q. 
The times that you would bring the other girls, you would get paid money, 
correct? 
A. 
Yes. 
Q. 
Who would give you the money? 
A. 
Jeffrey [Epstein]. 
Q. 
Anyone else? 
A. 
No. 
Q. 
You mentioned you brought 12-some-odd girls. Does that mean that you went 
there to the house those times with the girls when you brought them every time? 
A. 
Yes. 
Q. 
Did you go there more than just those 12 times, plus the time that you went, so we 
got 13 now, did you go there more often? 
Page 8 of 15 
EFTA01076375
Sivu 9 / 15
A. 
I don't remember. 
Q. 
Did you bring some girls more than once? 
A. 
Yes. 
(Deposition oalEM 
p. 104). 
27. 
These cash and non-cash financial benefits were utilized in the furtherance of 
Epstein's scheme to sexually molest underage girls and attempt to subvert the criminal and civil 
justice system. 
28. 
For example, at or around the time of the investigation being conducted by the Town 
of Palm Beach Police Department, Epstein made a substantial $100,000 donation to the Palm 
Beach Police Department: 
A. 
. . . He [Epstein] had made donations to the police department in the past. 
Q. 
I'm sorry, who had made donations? 
A. 
He being Mr. Epstein. 
Q. 
And do you know what the amount of the larger donation was? 
A. 
It was in the $100,000 range. 
(Chief Reiter deposition at p. 166). 
This "donation", was ultimately and properly returned by the Palm Beach Police Department. 
29. 
Additionally, in furtherance of this scheme, Epstein has retained attorneys and 
investigators with the sole purpose and direction to intimidate and harass his victims so as to 
pressure them into refusing to act as witnesses in any judicial proceedings against him. 
30. 
Plaintiff, B.B., among many other young women, has been injured in the scope that 
the criminal and racketeering activity of Epstein and his co-conspirators has damaged them 
Page 9 of 15 
EFTA01076376
Sivu 10 / 15
emotionally, physically and financially. Specifically, B.B. has had to retain attorneys and 
expend costs to litigate these matters and she has incurred the expense of a mental health 
counselor. 
Facts Specific to B.B. 
31. 
Consistent with the foregoing plan, scheme, and/or enterprise, B.B., then 15 years of 
age, was recruited to give Mr. Epstein a massage for monetary compensation. B.B. was brought 
by taxi with another girl 15 years of age to Mr. Epstein's mansion in Palm Beach. B.B. and the 
other girl were brought into the kitchen of the home and led up the flight of stairs to a large 
bathroom containing a maccage table. Upon arriving in the bathroom, a young woman, on 
information and belief, Ms.M, exited a sauna wearing only a towel, placed a tube of lotion 
on the counter and stated, "I guess you will need this more than I will." 
32. 
Several minutes later, Mr. Epstein came into the bathroom and shut the door behind 
him, told both girls to remove their clothes and undressed himself. Mr. Epstein then placed a 
small washcloth over his genitals and asked both girls to rub lotion on his naked body. At some 
point Mr. Epstein told the other 15 year old girl to leave the room, leaving B.B. alone with Mr. 
Epstein. Mr. Epstein then began to masturbate while B.B. was massaging him. 
33. 
At this point, Mr. Epstein specifically asked B.B. her age, to which B.B. honestly 
advised she was 15 years old. 
34. 
Mr. Epstein took his free hand and began to touch B.B. between her legs and in her 
genitals while simultaneously masturbating himself. B.B. told Mr. Epstein to stop, but he 
continued to rub B.B. between her legs in her genital area. Mr. Epstein then ejaculated and told 
B.B. she could get dressed. 
Page 10 of 15

Sivu 11 / 15
35. 
B.B. was then allowed to get dressed, leave the room and go back down the stairs and 
into the kitchen. Mr. Epstein gave the other 15 year old girl money and told B.B. that this girl 
"had her money" and then left. B.B. was given $200 by the other 15 year old girl. 
36. 
As a result of this encounter with Mr. Epstein, then 15 year old B.B. experienced 
confusion, shame, humiliation and embarrassment, and the assault sent her life into a downward 
spiral.
