Factual Allegations 
8. 
At all relevant times, Defendant Jeffrey Epstein ("Epstein") was an adult male, 
approximately 52 years old. Epstein is a financier and money manager with a secret clientele limited 
exclusively to billionaires. He is himself a man of tremendous wealth, power and influence. He 
maintains his principal home in New York and also owns residences in New Mexico, St. Thomas 
and Palm Beach, FL. The allegations herein concern Epstein's conduct while at his lavish estate in 
Palm Beach. 
9. 
Upon information and belief, Epstein has a sexual preference and obsession for 
underage minor girls. He engaged in a plan and scheme in which he gained access to primarily 
economically disadvantaged minor girls in his home, sexually assaulted these girls, and then gave 
them money. In or about 2004, Jane Doe, then approximately 13 years old, fell into Epstein's trap 
and became one of his victims. 
10. 
Upon information and belief, Jeffrey Epstein carried out his scheme and assaulted 
girls in Florida, New York and on his private island, known as Little St. James, in St. Thomas. 
11. 
Epstein's scheme involved the use of young girls to recruit underage girls. These 
underage girls were recruited ostensibly to give a wealthy man a massage for monetary 
compensation in his Palm Beach mansion. Epstein, upon information and belief, generally sought 
out economically disadvantaged underage girls from western Palm Beach County who would be 
enticed by the money being offered - generally $200 to $300 per "massage" session - and who were

perceived as less likely to complain to authorities or have credibility if allegations of improper 
conduct were made. This was an important element of Epstein's plan. 
12. 
Epstein's plan and scheme reflected a particular pattern and method. The underage 
victim would be brought or directed to Epstein's mansion, where she would be led up a flight of 
stairs to a bedroom that contained a massage table in addition to other furnishings. The girl would 
then find herself alone in the room with Epstein, who would be wearing only a towel. He would 
then remove his towel and lie naked on the massage table, and direct the girl to remove her clothes. 
Epstein would then perform one or more lewd, lascivious and sexual acts, including masturbation. 
13. 
Consistent with the foregoing plan and scheme, when Jane Doe was only 13 years 
old, she was recruited by another girl to give Epstein a massage for monetary compensation. Jane 
was brought to Epstein's mansion in Palm Beach. Once there, she was led up the flight of stairs to 
the room with the massage table. Epstein came into the room and directed Jane to remove her 
clothes and give him a massage. As directed by Epstein, Jane stripped to her underwear. Epstein 
then sexually assaulted Jane during the massage. In addition, Epstein masturbated during the 
massage. Epstein then paid Jane money. 
14. 
As a result of this encounter with Epstein, Jane experienced confusion, shame, 
humiliation and embarrassment, and has suffered severe psychological and emotional injuries.
