are important to give this Defendant fair notice of Plaintiffs claim so he may properly 
respond. Accordingly, under applicable law, Plaintiff has failed to state a claim for 
sexual assault and battery. 
In the alternative to dismissing Count I, Defendant requests that Plaintiff be 
required to give more definite statement as to what was done to her; what EPSTEIN 
said and did, if anything, to create fear and apprehension in Plaintiff; what was the 
intentional offensive or harmful contact in pleading the elements of assault and battery. 
Rule 12(e). 
Count III — "Coercion and Enticement to Sexual Activity in Violation of 18 
U.S.C. 82422" - is subject to dismissal as Plaintiff has failed to state a claim 
upon which relief can be granted. Rule 12(b)(6). Count III also contains an 
Immaterial reference to 28 U.S.C. §2255, which is required to be stricken 
and more definitely stated. 
Count III of Plaintiffs Complaint attempts to assert a claim for "Coercion and 
Enticement to Sexual Activity in Violation of 18 U.S.C. §2422." In her prayer for relief in 
Count III, Plaintiff "demands judgment against Defendant Jeffrey Epstein for all 
damages available under 28 U.S.C. §2255(a), 
." 
Although the reference to "28 U.S.C. §2255," pertaining to habeas corpus 
proceedings - federal custody and remedies on motion attacking sentence, is probably 
a typographical error by Plaintiff, and the reference to "28" was meant to be "18," 
Defendant requests that Plaintiff correct this error so that Defendant may have fair 
notice of the claim Plaintiff is attempting to assert. 
Whether or not the "28" is 
typographical error, Defendant is still entitled to dismissal of the count. 
The applicable version of these statutory provisions, (pre-2006 Amendments, as 
the Amended Complaint alleges a time period of "in or about 2004-2005," ¶8), provides:

CHAPTER 117--TRANSPORTATION FOR ILLEGAL SEXUAL ACTIVITY 
AND RELATED CRIMES 
§ 2422. Coercion and enticement 
(a) Whoever knowingly persuades, induces, entices, or coerces any 
individual to travel in interstate or foreign commerce, or in any Territory or 
Possession of the United States, to engage in prostitution, or in any sexual 
activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense, or 
attempts to do so, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 
20 years, or both. 
(b) Whoever, using the mail or any facility or means of interstate or foreign 
commerce, or within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the 
United States knowingly persuades, induces, entices, or coerces any 
individual who has not attained the age of 18 years, to engage in prostitution 
or any sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal 
offense, or attempts to do so, shall be fined under this title and imprisoned 
not less than 5 years and not more than 30 years. 
CHAPTER 110--SEXUAL EXPLOITATION AND OTHER ABUSE OF 
CHILDREN 
§ 2255. Civil remedy for personal Injuries 
(a) Any minor who is a victim of a violation of section 2241(c) 2242, 2243, 
2251, 2251A 2252 2252A, 2260 2421, 2422, or 2423 of this title and who 
suffers personal injury as a result of such violation may sue in any 
appropriate United States District Court and shall recover the actual 
damages such minor sustains and the cost of the suit, including a reasonable 
attorney's fee. Any minor as described in the preceding sentence shall be 
deemed to have sustained damages of no less than $50,000 in value. 
(b) Any action commenced under this section shall be barred unless the 
complaint is filed within six years after the right of action first accrues or in 
the case of a person under a legal disability, not later than three years after 
the disability. 
Relevant to Plaintiff's complaint, 18 U.S.C. 2255(a) creates a civil remedy for "a 
minor who is a victim of a violation of section ... 2422 ... of this title and who suffers 
personal injury as a result of such violation ... ." Plaintiff has failed to plead any factual 
allegations whatsoever pertaining to violations of 18 U.S.C. 2422. Rather, Plaintiff has 
alleged conclusory allegations simply attempting to track parts of the statutory language

in the statute without underlying factual allegations pertaining to the Plaintiff and any 
conduct by Defendant. See ¶29 of Am. Comp. Plaintiffs allegations, (or lack of factual 
allegations), are precisely what the standard set forth by the Supreme Court in Bell 
Atlantic Corp. prohibits — Plaintiff's complaint alleges only "labels and conclusions, and 
a (partial) formulaic recitation of the elements." 
First, the Amended Complaint fails to designate whether Plaintiff is relying on 
§2422(a) or §2422(b). Second, although the complaint does contain a partial tracking of 
the language in 18 U.S.C. §2422(b), it contains absolutely no factual allegations 
concerning the requisite "using the mail or any facility or means of interstate or foreign 
commerce" by Plaintiff to state a cause of action based on a violation of 18 U.S.C. 
2422(b). As well, there are no underlying factual allegations involving this Plaintiff as to 
the requisite elements that a defendant knowingly persuaded, induced, enticed, or 
coerced any individual (Plaintiff in this case) who has not attained the age of 18 years, 
to engage in prostitution or any sexual activity for which any person can be charged with 
a criminal offense, or attempted to do so. See 18 U.S.C. 2422(b); i.e. with what criminal 
offense could Plaintiff and Defendant have been charged. Again, a Plaintiff cannot 
simply track the language of a statute without some underlying factual allegations to 
state a claim upon which relief can be granted. Accordingly, Count III is required to be 
dismissed, and the reference to 28 USC 2455 be stricken. 
In the alternative, Plaintiff should be required to more definitely state the 
underlying factual allegations to support her claim as set forth in the statute, 18 U.S.C. 
§2422(b) and §2455.

Conclusion 
As discussed above herein, under the pleading standard established in Twombly,
supra, and law concerning the elements of Count I and III, Plaintiff has failed to state 
claims upon which relief can be granted. Rule 12(b)(6). Plaintiff's complaint lack 
underlying factual allegations and, thus, Plaintiff is required to more definitely state the 
requisite factual allegations. Finally, Plaintiff should correct any improper statutory 
references.

Factual Allegations 
7. 
At all relevant times, Defendant Jeffrey Epstein ("Epstein") was an adult male, 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. 
8. 
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 2004-2005, Jane Doe, then 16 years old, fell into Epstein's trap and 
became one of his victims. 
9. 
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. 
10. 
An integral player in Epstein's Florida scheme was 
a Palm Beach 
Community College student from Loxahatchee, Florida. She recruited girls ostensibly to give a 
wealthy man a massage for monetary compensation in his Palm Beach mansion. Under Epstein's 
plan, Ms 
would be contacted when Epstein was planning to be at his Palm Beach residence 
or soon after he had arrived there. Epstein or someone on his behalf directed Ms. Mto 
bring 
one or more underage girls to the residence. a 
upon information and belief, generally 
sought out economically disadvantaged underage girls from Loxahatchee and surrounding areas 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.

11. 
Epstein's plan and scheme reflected a particular pattern and method. Upon arrival at 
Epstein's mansion, the victim would be brought to the kitchen. She would then be led up a flight of 
stairs to a bedroom that contained a massage table in addition to other furnishings. Once the girl was 
alone in this room, Epstein would enter wearing only a towel to cover his private area. He then 
would lay down on the massage table and perform one or more lewd, lascivious and sexual acts, 
including 
and touching the girl sexually. 
12. 
Consistent with the foregoing plan and scheme, Ms. 
recruited Jane Doe to 
give Epstein a massage for monetary compensation. Ms. 
brought Jane to Epstein's mansion 
in Palm Beach. Jane was led up the flight of stairs to the room with the massage table. She was 
alone in the room when Epstein arrived wearing a towel to cover his private parts. He laid down on 
the massage table, and sexually assaulted Jane Doc during the massagc. In addition, Jeffrey Epstein 
masturbated during the massage. 
13. 
After Epstein had completed the assault, he left the room. Jane was then able to leave 
the room and go back down the stairs. She then met Ms. 
again who brought Jane home. 
Jane was paid $200 by Epstein. Ms. as 
also paid by Epstein for bringing Jane to him. 
14. 
As a result of this encounter with Epstein, the 16-year old Jane experienced trauma, 
shock, confusion, shame, humiliation and embarrassment. 
COUNT I

15. 
Plaintiff Jane Doe repeats and realleges paragraphs I through 14 above. 
16. 
Epstein acted with intent to cause an offensive contact with Jane Doe, or an imminent 
apprehension of such a contact, and Jane Doe was thereby put in such imminent apprehension. 
17. 
Epstein made an intentional, unlawful offer of offensive sexual contact toward Jane
