FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS EFTA00615973 Case 1:17-cv-00616-JGK Document 45 Filed 06/05/17 Page 4 of 31 11. 4-2,At all times material to this cause of action, Defendant Jeffrey Epstein was an adult male over 50 years old. Defendant Epstein is knownwidely recognized as a billionaire who uses his extraordinary wealth to commit illegal sexual crimes in violation of federal and state statutes and to employ and conspire with a group of numerous others, including each of the named Defendants, to eenspir-e-and-assist in committing those crimes and additional torts as well as to preteet-and-conceal his crimes and torts of the Epstein sex trafficking group from being discovered. 12 44-Defendant Epstein displays his enormous wealth, power and influence to his employees; to the victims procured for sexual purposes; and to the public in order to advance and carry out his crimes and torts. At all relevant times, Defendant Epstein owned and continues to own, directly or through nominee individuals used to conceal his interests, a fleet of airplanes, motor vehicles, boats and one or more helicopters. For example, he owned and-ewns(directly or indirectly) a Boeing aircraft (of make and model B-727-31H with tail number N908JE) and a Gulfstream aircraft 3 of make and model G-1159B with tail number N909JE He also owned numerous properties and homes, including a 51,000-square-foot mansion in Manhattan; a $30 Million, 7,500-acre ranch in New Mexico; a 70-acre private island formerly known as Little St. James in or near St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islandsa EFTA00615974 Case 1:17-cv-00616-JGK Document 45 Filed 06/05/17 Page 5 of 31 mansion in London, England; a home ; in Paris, France; and a mansion in Palm Beach County, Florida. The allegations herein primarily concern the defendant's conduct while at his townhouse in New York; on one or more of his private airplanes; and on his private island in the United States Virgin Islands. Epstein used all of the real and personal property described in this paragraph to facilitate the illegal sex trafficking venture and enterprise described in this Complaint and in furtherance of that venture and enterprise, a 4-4:Defendant Epstein has a compulsive sexual preference for young females as young as 13 and as told!: as 25.

As part of the venture and enterprise, Epstein also provided young females for sexual purposes to his friends in order to secure social, business, and other contacts as well as other things of value. 14. 44:Defendant Maxwell was for decades the highest-ranking employee of the Defendants' sex trafficking venture and enterprise. She herself recruited young, including underage, females; oversaw and trained other recruiters on how best to recruit girls for sex; developed and executed schemes designed to recruit young females; and ensured that all participants of the Defendants' sex trafficking scheme EFTA00615975 Case 1:17-cv-00616-JGK Document 45 Filed 06/05/17 Page 6 of 31 acted in certain specific ways in order to advance the purposes of the scheme and iii, including providing young females to Epstein for sexual purposes on a daily basis, and concealing these activities from law enforcement. S Recruiters were taught by Defendants Epstein-and, Maxwell to inform targeted victims that Epstein possessed extraordinary wealth, power, resources and influence; that he was a philanthropist who would help female victims advance their EFTA00615976 Case 1:17-cv-00616-JGK Document 45 Filed 06/05/17 Page 7 of 31 careers and lives; and that the recruits needed only to provide Epstein with body massages in order to avail themselves of his financial assistance and influence. In fact, however, these representations were fraudulent. and the Defendants did not help e*noc intend to help advance the victims' careers. Victims were also paid to bring F'ipstein other young females for sex and were told by Defendants Epstein, Maxwell.MIM that those young females who brought other females would further benefit from bringing other girls, 6 EFTA00615977 Case 1:17-cv-00616-JGK Document 45 Filed 06/05/17 Page N of 31 a -1-97The Defendants, led primarily by Defendants Epstein and Maxwell, fulfilled Epstein!) compulsive need for sex with young females by preying on their 4 personal, psychological, financial, and related vulnerabilities. The Defendants' tactics included promising the victims money, shelter, transportation, gifts., employment, admission into educational institutions, educational tuition, protection, and other things of value in exchange for sex. Defendants also took possession of the victims' passports to coerce compliance with their demands. Defendants also trafficked young females to Epstein's friends and acquaintances in order to secure financial and other benefits as well as social, educational, and business connections 19. 2O Defendants' sex trafficking venture and enterprise operated in a hierarchal structure with Defendants Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell at the top-and itaderlings-helew. Defendants Epstein and Maxwell operated the sex traffiekinp scheme dating back to at least the mid-nineties, and over the years perfected theirlititisiathe roles of others, both in terms of the ability to tthe volume of young females recruited for sex and in insulating the enterprise from criminal investigation or prosecution. EFTA00615978 Case 1:17-cv-00616-JGK Document 45 Filed 06/05/17 Page 9 of 31 Underlings included unnamed co- conspirators such as various housekeepers and butlers; an airplane pilot; and various employees, assistants and associates. Wittingly and unwittingly, such underlings performed their respective roles with the purpose and effect of insuring that the enterprise supplied young females to Defendant Epstein and others for sexual purposes. At all times materials to this complaint, the venture and enterprise was a group of two or more individuals associated in fact and deed. 20. 2-hDefendants Epstein and Maxwell, with help from assistants, associates and underlings, recruited and procured hundreds of girls over the decades of the operation of their scheme. Such recruitment and procurement included fraud, coercion, threats, intimidation, fear, the threat of coercion, and a combination of these and similar tactics. Following the Defendants' recruitment and procurement of the young females to join Epstein in New York and the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Defendants used fraudulent 6 promises, coercion, and threats of coercion in order to entice yeungand coerce the females into sex and, once sexual activities ensued, to cause them to remain in the enterprise. The Defendants also transported females in A interstate and foreign commerce and in ways that affected interstate and foreign commerce. The sex acts were commercial in nature, because the Defendants promised to provide financial and other compensation to the females in EFTA00615979 Case 1:17-cv-00616-JGK Document 45 Filed 06/05/17 Page 10 of 31 exchange for nroviding sex acts to Epstein. 22. 2-3AdditionallyJklendants_alnasstawitsle ngientale every r that they were wealthy, well-connected and could either help or hurt the females depending on their degree of cooperation. In fact, Defendants Epstein and Maxwell have been known to threaten young females with physical harm, It is unknown exactly how long Defendant Epstein and Maxwell':, afecemeatiociecithe Defendants' criminal and illegal venture and enterprise operated, although it was at least continuously and actively in operation from the mid-1990's through and including the calendar year 2007. 23, 24-.Defendant Epstein has continued the venture and enterprise and eeftspireey-up to the present time in some form or another and with additional co-consnirators and partici . p s. 24. 2-5,In 2005, Defendant Epstein and numerous co-conspirators within the venture and enterprise were the subjects of a Palm Beach, Florida Police Department criminal investigation which revealed that Defendant Epstein had engaged in 2 EFTA00615980 Case 1:17-cv-00616-JGK Document 45 Filed 06/05/17 Page 10 of 31 25, 264n 2006, the Palm Beach Police Department investigation was turned over to the FBI and the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida. The United States Attorney's Office investigated Defendant Epstein and his co-conspirators for their violations of numerous federal statutes, including 18 U.S.C. *Section 1591, one of the statutory bases for this complaint. 26. 2-7-.The United States Attorneys investigation continued from 2006 through September 2007, at which time a Non-Prosecution Agreement was signed between Jeffrey Epstein and the United States Attorney's Office deferring federal prosecution of Defendant Epstein and his numerous co-conspirators, including Defendants for identified federal sex crimes against more than 30 minors. 27. 28.From late 2006 through September 2007, Epstein's team of lawyers negotiated with the federal government in an effort to avoid the-filing-of-thea fifty- three-page dra€IFederal felony indictment offrom being filed against Epstein. During these 14 EFTA00615981 Case 1:17-cv-00616-JGK Document 45 Filed 06/05/17 Page 11 of 31 negotiations, Defendant Epstein decamped from Palm Beach to New York and the U.S. Virgin Islands in order to convey an image to prosecutors that he and his co- conspirators had stopped committing sex crimes. 28. 29,Remarkably, however—as this case will highlight—Defendant Epstein and his co-Defendants, including the other defendants named herein, did 8 not abandon their sex trafficking venture and enterprise even while they were under state and federal investigation for crimes committed in violation of 18 U.S.C. *section 1591, among other laws, and even as Defendants and their attorneys were busy arguing Epstein!) innocence and publicly defaming his victims as liars. Rather, Defendants merely changed their stylelocation. Instead of targeting local Palm Beach Florida high-school girls, the Defendants transported young females from other places in the U.S. (including the Southern District of New York) and abroad and brought them to Defendant Epsteinns mansion in New York City and his private island in the Virgin Islands. 29. 3&In June of 2008, Epstein pleaded guilty to Florida state felony sex offenses for procuring a minor for prostitution and soliciting prostitution by minors and registered as a Sex Offender for Life. 30. 3-1-Defendants Epstein and Maxwell developed and implemented a sophisticated system designed to insulate them from criminal and civil liability by protecting them from potential testimony of knowledgeable subordinates. 11 EFTA00615982 Case 1:17-cv-00616-JGK Document 45 Filed 06/05/17 Page 12 of 31 3-24n 2005, Defendant Epstein and other co-conspirators, aware that law enforcement officials were preparing imminently to execute a search warrant efkr his home, removed computer systems that logged information about Epstein and his co-conspirators' illegal and criminal conduct; the identities of witnesses; nude 12 photographs of young females; scheduling books; message pads; tangible items such as vibrators and toys; and other incriminating matter. 32. The sex recruiting and trafficking venture and enterprise designed to procure young females for sexual purposes and to conceal those activities was developed and fine-tuned over time, and each of the named Defendants had a well-defined role and improved in his/her role over time, with practice and EFTA00615983 Case 1:17-cv-00616-JGK Document 45 Filed 06/05/17 Page 13 of 31 experience. By the time Plaintiff was recruited into victimization, each Defendant had years of experience perfecting methods of coercion, understanding Epstein's requirements, and becoming more loyal to the continuance and survival of the venture and enterprise. All of the Defendant's knew about the activities of the venture and enterprise and worked in concert for the goals of the venture and knowingly benefitted, financially and by receiving things of value from their iarticii ation in the venture and enterprise. 33. A typical the Defendants procured young females for sex with Defendant Epstein was to make false promises of a modeling opportunity, offer a better life, offer payment for a formal education, or offer other money or consideration. 34.

All Defendants, including Maxwell, Epstein knew that Plaintiff was actually being recruited for sexual purposes, andleach knowingly and deliberately made false representations to ensure that Plaintiff would cooperate in fulfilling Epstein's sexual desires. These false and fraudulent representations included Defendants' telling Plaintiff that Epstein would use his connections to have her admitted inter a similar institute, college, universi y or school of higher learning and provide her with employment opportunities. Plaintiff reasonably relied on these representations and had a credible basis for such reliance, including the credible representations of Epstein and the other Defendants that they possessed extensive political, business, financial, social, and educational influence and connections. Epstein and the other Defendants represented to Plaintiff in manners that were persuasive, credible, and reasonable to Plaintiff, as they would have been to any other person similarly situated, that they had the political, business, financial, social, educational, and other influence and 15 connections sufficient to arrange for and insure her admission into or a similar school of higher learning. 41, Maxwell and Epstein also threatened Plaintiff that, while they had the ability EFTA00615986 Case 1:17-cv-00616-JGK Document 45 Filed 06/05/17 Page 16 of 31 to advance her education and career, they also had the ability to make sure that shePlaintiff would not obtain no-formal education if she failed to provide the sexual favors desired by Defendant Epstein or abide by the instructions given her by Defendants Epstein and Maxwell. -14 42. 31XPlaintiff reasonably believed that her compliance with Defendants' demands was crucial to her physical, psychological, financial, and reputational well-being and survival. 41,Defenflents—Maxwell and Epstein informed Plaintiff that other young females in Defendant-Epstein's company were there net-enly-to-pcovkle-massages; but-also to perform sexual acts, for E stein and his friends. 16 EFTA00615987 Case 1:17-cv-00616-JGK Document 45 Filed 06/05/17 Page 17 of 31 The Defendants all participated in arranging for Plaintiff to be transported Plaintiff in interstate and foreign commerce, and affecting interstate and foreign commerce, for these sexual purposes.
