The unidentified woman says she was 16 when she was brought to Jeffrey Epstein's Palm Beach mansion and paid $200 to give the money manager a massage. Instead, she claims he abused her. The suit filed Wednesday in federal court is seeking more than $50 million in damages from Epstein. Another teenage girl made similar claims against Epstein in a lawsuit filed last month. Epstein also faces a felony charge of solicitation of prostitution. A conviction could send him to prison for five years. Epstein's attorney has denied the allegations, but did not return phone messages Wednesday.

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
CASE NO.:
JANE DOE NO. 2,
Plaintiff,
vs.
JEFFREY EPSTEIN,
Defendant.
COMPLAINT
Plaintiff, Jane Doe No. 2 ("Jane" or "Jane Doe"), brings this Complaint against Jeffrey
Epstein, as follows:

part of the events or omissions giving rise to the claim occurred in this District.
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 approximately 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.
Epstein's scheme involved the use of young girls to recruit underage girls. (Upon
information and belief, the young girl who brought Jane Doe to Epstein was herself a minor victim
of Epstein, and will therefore not be named in this Complaint). Under Epstein's plan, underage girls
were recruited ostensibly to give a wealthy man a massage for monetary compensation in his Palm
Beach mansion. The recruiter 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 would direct
the recruiter to bring one or more underage girls to the residence. The recruiter, 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. 11. Epstein's plan and scheme reflected a particular pattern and method. Upon arrival at Epstein's mansion, the underage victim would be introduced to Epstein's assistant, who gathered the girl's personal information, including her name and telephone number. Ms. Kellen would then bring the girl up a flight of stairs to a bedroom that contained a massage table in addition to other furnishings. There were photographs of nude women lining the stairway hall and in the bedroom. 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 and touching the girl's vagina. 12. Consistent with the foregoing plan and scheme, Jane Doe was recruited to give Epstein a massage for monetary compensation. Jane was brought to Epstein's mansion in Palm Beach. Once at the mansion, Jane was introduced to who led her up the flight of stairs to the room with the massage table. In this room, Epstein told Jane to take off her clothes and give him a massage. Jane kept her panties and bra on and complied with Epstein's instructions. Epstein wore only a towel around his waste. After a short period of time, Epstein removed the towel and rolled over exposing his penis. Epstein began to masturbate and he sexually assaulted Jane. 13. After Epstein had completed the assault, Jane was then able to get dressed, leave the room and go back down the stairs. Jane was paid $200 by Epstein. The young girl who recruited Jane was paid $100 by Epstein for bringing Jane to him. 14. As a result of this encounter with Epstein, Jane experienced confusion, shame, HERMAN & MERMELSTEIN, P.
