'This was a typical 14-year-old girl. What happened here was despicable.' JEFFREY HERMAN, lawyer for parents of girl, now 17, who accuses Jeffrey Epstein of sexual assault Palm Beach man faces lawsuit in teen sex case By LARRY KELLER Palm Beath Post Slaff Iffiter WEST PALM BEACH - The parents of a teenage girl sued part-time Palm Beach resi- dent Jeffrey Epstein for more than $50 million on Thursday, alleging that the wealthy money manager had her brought to his mansion for a massage, then engaged in sexual activity with her. The girl, identified only as Jane Doe, was 14 at the time. She was the youngest of sev- eral alleged victims of Epstein, according to Palm Beach police, who spent 11 months investigating him. The federal lawsuit, filed by Miami at- . torhey Jeffrey Herman, says "Epstein has a sexual preference and obsession for under- age minor girls." Epstein "gained access to primarily disadvantaged minor girls in his home, sexually assaulted these .girls, and then gave them money" • Herman, who specializes in child sex abuse litigation, sued on behalf of the girl, her father and her stepmother on grounds of sexual assault, intentional infliction of . emotional distress and loss of parental con- sortium. "Jane Doe ... fell into Epstein's trap and became one of his victims," the lawsuit says. "We're dismayed by the filing of the law- / suit, but not s rised," said Jack Goldberger, !pm of Epsteui> attorneys. We think tlys • shows what this case is all about: money." He and another Epstein attorney, Lilly Ann Sanchez, launched an immediate counterof- fensive, even showing up at Herman's news conference outside the federal courthouse in West Palm Beach.

Epstein paid girl $300, suit claims ► EPSTEIN from 1B docunients to Goldberger. "Jeffrey Epstein did not have sex with this woman," Sanchez said. Herman suggested that Epstein masturbated in front of the alleged victim and used a vibrator on her after she was brought to his home in February 2005. The girl is now 17. "This was a typical 14- year-old girl at the time she met Epstein," Herman said. "What happened here was despicable" The girl told police inves- tigators that she informed Epstein she was 18 when she met him, and she said that was her age on her Web page, Sanchez said. The girl's father and step- mother also attended the news conference. "We're very angry," the father said. "It's not right that this wealthy man can fly into and destroy my daugh- ter's innocence." He did not take questions. Epstein, 55, is a mysteri- ous New York money man- ager who owns a Manhattan mansion, as well as homes in Palm Beach, New Mexico and the Virgin Islands. A Palm Beach County grand jury indicted him in July 2006 on one count of felony solicitation of prostitu- tion stemming from alleged incidents between Aug. 1 and Oct. 31, 2005. Epstein is scheduled to enter a plea in the case on March 10, but he has post- poned other court dates to resolve the 'case. 'His in- dictment followed an Epstein exhaustive investigation by the Palm Beach Police De- partment, which concluded that Epstein paid underage girls and young women to be brought to his five-bedroom, 7f-bath Intracoastal home for massages and sometimes sex play. Much of the language in the Jane Doe suit mirrors that of police reports in the case. Herman's client said her meeti was set up by of Loxa- hatchee, w o was a Palm Beach Community College student at the time. When Jane Doe arrived at Epstein's home, she was eseqraaljpy an Epstein assistant, Kel- len, to a room with a massage table, police reports and the lawsuit say. Epstein walked in wear- ing only a towel, removed it and lay naked on the mas- sage table, the lawsuit says. He demanded that Jane Doe remove her clothing, and she did, except for her under- wear, the lawsuit alleges. The sexual activity followed, the suit says. Epstein pi* $300 af- tervrard, and got $200 for bringing e Dr to him, Mist sa and helped EpUrarrange o er liai- sons with girls, Palm Beach police concluded. Neither was charged. This- is not the first time Epstein has been sued. over purported activities with teenage girls. He was sued in New York in October by a woman who says she had sex with Epstein when she was 16 and had sought his help in becoming a model. The lawsuit filed Thurs- day also alleges that Epstein has assaulted girls on his private island in the Virgin Islands. Herman declined to elaborate on that assertion. 0 [email protected] EFTA01072599

FD-350 (Rev. 5-8-81) • Mount Chop in Space Below) Part-time Palm Beacher faces another sex suit By LARRY KELLER Palm &adi Pod Staff Writer WEST PALM BEACH — For the second time in two weeks, part-time Palm Beach resident Jeffrey Epstein has been sued for more than $50 million by a woman who contends that he engaged in sexual activity with her when she was a minor after enticing her to give him a massage at his home. More lawsuits may €ollow, Miami lawyer Jef- frey Herman said. "I'm aware of oth- er victims," he said. "I have been con- • tacted." Herman filed a similar lawsuit against Epstein on identified as "Jane Doe," her Jan. 24 on behalf of a girl 'father and stepmother. The • girl, now 17, says she was 14 when she gave Epstein a Epstein sexually tinged massage at his home. The latest alleged victim is identified as "Jane Doe No. 2." She went to Epstein's Palm Beach mansion in 2004 or 2005 when she was 16, the lawsuit alleges. She says another girl recruited her to go there to give Epstein a massage. ' Once there, she alleges, she was led to an upstairs room with a massage table. Epstein came in wearing only a towel around his waist and told her to remove her clothes. She did, except for her bra and panties, accord- ing to the lawsuit. Epstein removed his towel, rolled onto his back, mastur- bated and touched Jane Doe No. 2 sexually, according to the lawsuit filed in federal court in West Palm Beach on Wednesday. Jane Doe No. 2 was paid $200 afterward, and the girl who recruited her was given See EPSTEIN, 5B ► (Indicate page, name of newspaper, city and state.) 1B / 58 / The Palm Beach Post West Palm Beach, FL Date: 2/1/2008 Edition: Title: Part-time Palm Beecher faces another sex suit haracter or Classification: 31E-MM-108062 Submitting Office: MM Indexing: 3/ -Mg, /©8 062- /y?

Both lawsuits contend that Epstein, 55, targeted "economically disadvantaged girls from western Palm Beach County" who were perceived as less likely to complain to authorities, or whose credibility would be I quectmed if they did. "Both complaints are full of lies," said Guy Lewis, former US. attorney in Miami and one of Epstein's many attor- neys. Jane Doe No. 2's lawsuit "is an outrageous, defamatory copycat of the first" There has been a twist in the first Jane Doe lawsuit Her mother in Georgia contends that her former husband — Jane. Doe's father — con- sulted with neither of them before filing the lawsuit She is asking a judge to halt the litigation until her daughter turns 18 in May and can make her own decisions. The mother asked in court filings to be added to the law- suit, saying she "has suffered and will continue to suffer severe mental anguish and pain" as a result of Epstein's "reckless conduct." Jane Doe lust didn't Want the lawsuit going forward with the father's involve- ment," said Ted Leopold, , the mother's attorney. "She wanted to pursue it on her own. The father essentially did this on his own." Jane Doe has' been es- tranged from her father since Thanksgiving Leopold said. '"That's why it's even stranger what he did," he said. The girlk mother is asking a judge in their divorce case to find the father in contempt of court for violating their divorce decree by not con- ferring with her on a matter involving their daughter. "The father has sole custo- dy and has the right to make decisions on his daughter's rights," Herman said. • Epstein is a wealthy New York money manager who has counted Bill Clinton, Donald Trump and Britain's Prince Andrew among his friends. He was the target of a lengthy investigation into his activities with girls by the Palm Beach Police Depart- ment that resulted in his in- dictment in July 2006 on one count of felony solicitation of prostitution. That case is pending. Epstein has been sued in New York by a woman who says he had sex with her when she was 16. Herman said he has received calls from others making the same assertions in that state. Herman convened a news conference Wednesday on the middle bridge connecting West Palm Beach and Palm Beach. "This is the bridge ... these girls were recruited to come over and give a massage," he said. "When they crossed this bridge, they had no idea what was in store for them, This is a bridge of tears." Herman has described both Jane Does as typical teenage girls Epstein robbed of their innocence. But Harvard University law Professor Alan Dershowitz, another Epstein attorney, pro- vided the state attorney's of- fice with information gleaned from the myspace.00m Web site two years ago showing that some of Epstein's alleged victims boasted of their alco- hol and marijuana use. Herman said the girls' backgrounds aren't relevant to Epsteins purported be- havior. "They don't have the mental capacity to consent to something like this with a grown man," he said.

O Girl drops lawsuit against Palm Beach man By LARRY KELLER Palm Beach Past Staff Writer A girl who says that wealthy money manager and part-time Palm Beach resident Jeffrey Epstein engaged in •• sexual activity with her when she was 14, has dropped her lawsuit against him because her divorced parents are squabbling over the litigation. "It has to do with the fact that the parents aren't on the same page right • now," said Jeffrey Herman, the attorney • for the girl, identified in court papers only as Jane Doe. "It's like a sideshow" The girl turns 18 in May and can sue • again at that time without her parents' involvement, Herman said. Herman sued Epstein last month on • behalf of the girl, her father and her s'tepmother. Her birth mother, who lives near Atlanta, then asked to intervene on her daughter's behalf and asked that 4 (.0 Rf 00 i N • 0 the litigation be halted until her daughter . turns 18.

Herman also represents a Jane Doe No. 2 who, like Jane Doe, claims Epstein summoned her to his home for a massage when she was a minor and sexually touched her. Epstein, 55, induced several under- age girls to give him sexual massages at his Intracoastal home, a Palm Beach Police Department investigation con- cluded. He was indicted in July 2006 on a single count of felony solicitation of prostitution. The case is pending Jane Doe's parents separated two ' months after she was born at Good Sa- maritan Medical Center, according to court records. The couple% subsequent divorce has been contentious. Each has had primary custody of the girl at various times. The father pleaded guilty to. fed- eral fraud charges in 2001 and was sen- tenced to 21 months in federal prison, plus three years' probation. The US. attorney overseeing his prosecution was Guy Lewis. Now in private practice, Lewis was hired by Epstein to defend him against the father% lawsuit filed on behalf of Jane Doe. e larry_kellertlipbresteom o a Ul • co 0 O N a 0 14. 5 m t EFTA01072602

FD-350 (Rev. 5481) • Mount Clipping in Space Below) Another suit alleges sex during massage By LARRY KELLER Palm Beach Post Staff Writer WEST PALM BEACH — Another woman filed a federal lawsuit against Jef- frey Epstein on Wednesday, alleging that he' turned a massage she gave him at his Palm Beach mansion into a sexual episode when she was 16 years old. Identified as "Jane Doe No. 3," she is seeking more than $50 million, the same as two other "Jane Does" who filed similar lawsuits in the past six weeks. All three suits were filed by Miami lawyer Jeffrey Herman. Herman subsequently 'withdrew the first Jane Doe's. lawsuit because of squabbling by her parents over the litiga- tion. The girl may refile the suit after she huts 18 in May and can make her own deci- sions, Herman said. Other alleged victims also have contacted him, Herman said. "I do anticipate more cases," he said. In the latest litigation, Jane Doe No. 3 alleges that she was recruited lege student, to give Epstein a mas money at his waterfront home late in 2004 or early in 2005. The lawsuit alleges that, while on the massage table, Epstein sexually touched Jane Doe No. 3, then mas- turbated. She is suing on grounds of sexual assault and intentional infliction of emo- tional distress. "She felt intimidated. She felt scared," Herman said. Jane Doe No. 3 made only the one visit to Epstein's home, he said. "It's just another copycat lawsuit filed by the same lawyer who appears less interested in the truth than in grandstanding with these press conferences," said Jack Goldberger, one of Epstein's attorneys. "We now have sworn testimony that girls lied about their age to Jeffrey Epstein, and they were care- ful in being convincing that they were over the Herman said instructed Jane Doe "When he asks how old you are, tell him 18 or 19 years old." But he said it doesn't matter. "They were underage girls," Herman said. "They were sexually assaulted." In addition to the civil law- suits, Epstein was indicted on a single count of felony solicitation of prostitution in July 2006 after a lengthy Palm Beach Police Depart- ment investigation into his activities with underage girls at his home. A resolution has been delayed continually. The case is on Mondays court docket but is expected to be rescheduled once again. "One of the reasons (Jane Doe No. 3) came forward is she is tired of waiting for jus- tice," Herman said.
