This is what happened to these children. These are the crimes the defendant and Epstein committed. The sexual abuse started with Epstein lying facedown for so called massages, but escalated as he turned over and touched the girls. And they escalated beyond that. Epstein touched the teenage girls' vaginas with a massager device or a vibrator. He directed girls to massage him while he masturbated. He sometimes touched the girls' breasts or vaginas. He sometimes received oral sex, and he sometimes penetrated the girls' vaginas with his penis. The defendant helped Epstein find those girls. She helped him recruit girls for so called massages. She manipulated the girls, groomed them for abuse, helped the girls feel comfortable as friendliness escalated to abuse. Sometimes she was even in the room for the massages herself, and sometimes she touched the girls' bodies. And even when she was not in the room, make no mistake, she knew exactly what Epstein was going to do to those children when she sent them to him inside the massage rooms, massage rooms inside the houses the defendant ran for over a decade. When the defendant sent a 14-year-old girl into a massage room with an adult man, she knew exactly what was going to happen. The defendant was essential to this scheme.
