At all times material to this cause of action, the Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, was an adult male born in 1953. 7. This Court has jurisdiction of this action and the claim set forth herein pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1332(a) as the matter in controversy exceeds $75,000.00, exclusive of interest and costs and is between citizens of different states. 8. This Court has venue of this action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1391(a) as a substantial part of the events or omissions giving rise to the claim occurred in this district. 9. At all times material, the Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, owed a duty unto Plaintiff, Jane Doe, to treat her in a non-negligent manner and to not commit intentional or tortious or illegal acts against her. Factual Allegations 10. Upon information and belief, the Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, has demonstrated a sexual preference and obsession for minor girls. He engaged in a plan, scheme, and enterprise in which he gained access to economically disadvantaged and other minor girls, such as the Plaintiff, Jane Doe, sexually assaulted these girls, and/or coerced them to engage in prostitution, and in return gave these minor girls money. 11. The Defendant's plan, scheme, and enterprise included an elaborate system wherein the then minor Plaintiff and other minor girls were brought to the Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein's residence by the Defendant's employees and assistants. When the assistants and employees left the then minor Plaintiff and other minor girls alone in a room at the Defendant's mansion, the Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, himself would appear, remove his clothing, and direct the then minor Plaintiff to remove her clothing. He would then perform one or more lewd, Page 2 of 11 20112 EFTA00234730 08-811893aCavetAARRAMOHNSON _tered on FLSD Docket 08/14/2008 Page 3 of 12 NE/ lascivious, and sexual acts, including, but not limited to, masturbation, touching of the then minor Plaintiffs sexual organs, using vibrators or sexual toys on the then minor Plaintiff, and digitally penetrating the then minor Plaintiff. 12. The Plaintiff, Jane Doe, was first brought to the Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein's mansion in early 2003, when she was a fourteen-year old in middle school. 13. The Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, a wealthy financier with a lavish home, significant wealth, and a network of assistants and employees, used his resources and his influence over a vulnerable minor child to engage in a systematic pattern of sexually exploitive behavior. 14. Beginning in approximately February 2003 and continuing until approximately June 2005, the Defendant coerced and enticed the impressionable, vulnerable, and economically deprived then minor Plaintiff to commit various acts of sexual misconduct. These acts included, but were not limited to, fondling and inappropriate and illegal sexual touching of the then minor Plaintiff, sexual misconduct and masturbation of the Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, in the presence of the then minor Plaintiff, and encouraging the then minor Plaintiff to become involved in prostitution; Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, committed numerous criminal sexual offenses against the then minor Plaintiff including, but not limited to, sexual battery, solicitation of prostitution, procurement of a minor for the purposes of prostitution, and lewd and lascivious assaults upon the person of the then minor Plaintiff. 15. Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, used his money, wealth and power to unduly and improperly manipulate and influence the then minor Plaintiff 16. The acts referenced above in paragraphs 10 and 15, committed by Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, against the then minor Plaintiff, Jane Doe, were committed in violation of Page 3 of 11 30t12 EFTA00234731 Case 9:08-cv-80893-KAM Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/14/2008 Page 4 of 12 numerous criminal State and Federal statutes condemning the sexual exploitation of minor children, prostitution, sexual performances by a child, lewd and lascivious assaults, sexual battery, contributing to the delinquency of a minor and other crimes., specifically including, but not limited to, those crimes designated in 18 USC §2241, §2242, §2243, §2421, and §2423, criminal offenses outlined in Chapter 800 of the Florida Statutes, as well as those designated in Florida Statutes §796.03, §796.07, §796.045, §796.04, §39.01, and §827.04. 17. The above-described acts took place in Palm Beach County, Florida at the residence of the Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein. Any assertions by the Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, that he was unaware of the age of the then minor Plaintiff are belied by his actions and rendered irrelevant by the provisions of applicable Florida Statutes concerning the sexual exploitation and abuse of a minor child. The Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, at all times material to this cause of action, knew and should have known of the Plaintiff, Jane Doe's minority. 18. The above-described acts were perpetrated upon the person of the then minor Plaintiff regularly and on dozens of occasions. 19. In June 2008, in the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County, Florida, the Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, entered pleas of "guilty" to various Florida state crimes involving the solicitation of minors for prostitution and the procurement of minors for the purposes of prostitution. 20. As a condition of that plea, and in exchange for the Federal Government not prosecuting the Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, for numerous federal offenses, Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, additionally entered into an agreement with the Federal Government to the following: "Any person, who while a minor, was a victim of an offense enumerated in Title 18, United States Code, Section 2255, will have the same rights to proceed under section 2255 as she would Page 4 of 11 EFTA00234732 Case 9:08-cv-80893-KAM Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/14/2008 Page 5 of 12 have had, if Mr. Epstein had been tried federally and convicted of an enumerated offense. For purposes of implementing this paragraph, the United States shall provide Mr. Epstein's attorneys with a list of individuals whom it was prepared to name in an indictment as victims of an enumerated offense by Mr. Epstein. Any judicial authority interpreting this provision, including any authority determining evidentiary burdens if any a Plaintiff must meet, shall consider that it is the intent of the parties to place these identified victims in the same position as they would have been had Mr. Epstein been convicted at trial. No more; no less". 21. The Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, is thus estopped by his plea and agreement with the Federal Government from denying the acts alleged in this Complaint, and must effectively admit liability to the Plaintiff, Jane Doe. COUNT I Sexual Exploitation, Sexual Abuse and/or Sexual Assault of a Minor 22. The Plaintiff, Jane Doe, repeats and realleges paragraphs 1 through 21 above. 23. Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, tortiously assaulted Plaintiff, Jane Doe, sexually on dozens of occasions between approximately February 2003 and approximately June 2005, and further sexually exploited her and contributed to her delinquency during that time. Defendant's acts were outrageous, egregious, intentional, unlawful, offensive and harmful. 24. The sexual assaults were in violation of the numerous state and federal statutes described in paragraph 16 above, and the assaults and acts of exploitation were committed by Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, willfully and maliciously. 25. As a direct and proximate result of Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein's assaults on the Plaintiff, Jane Doe, the Plaintiff has in the past suffered, and will in the future suffer, physical Page 5 of 11 EFTA00234733 Case 9:08-cv-80893-KAM Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/14/2008 Page 6 of 12 Sow injury, pain and suffering, emotional distress, psychological trauma, mental anguish, humiliation, embarrassment, loss of self-esteem, loss of dignity, invasion of her privacy and other damages associated with Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, controlling, manipulating and coercing her into a perverse and unconventional way of life for a minor. The then minor Plaintiff incurred medical and psychological expenses and the Plaintiff, Jane Doe, will in the future suffer additional medical and psychological expenses. The Plaintiff, Jane Doe, has suffered a loss of income, a loss of the capacity to earn income in the future, and a loss of the capacity to enjoy life. These injuries are permanent in nature and the Plaintiff, Jane Doe, will continue to suffer these losses in the future. WHEREFORE, the Plaintiff, Jane Doe, demands judgment against the Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, for compensatory damages, punitive damages, attorney's fees, and such other and further relief as this Court deems just and proper, and hereby demands trial by jury on all issues triable as of right by a jury. COUNT H Cause of Action Pursuant to 18 USC 82255 26. The Plaintiff, Jane Doe, adopts and realleges paragraphs 1 through 25 above. 27.

As a condition of the Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein's criminal plea, and in exchange for the Federal Government not prosecuting the Defendant for numerous federal offenses, the Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, additionally entered into an agreement with the Federal Government to the following: "Any person, who while a minor, was a victim of an offense enumerated in Page 6 of II EFTA00234734 Case 9:08-cv-80893-KAM Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/14/2008 Page 7 of 12 %eir Title 18, United States Code, Section 2255, will have the same rights to proceed under section 2255 as she would have had, if Mr. Epstein had been tried federally and convicted of an enumerated offense.

The Plaintiff, Jane Doe, was a victim of one or more offenses enumerated in Title 18, United States Code, Section 2255, and as such asserts a cause of action against the Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, pursuant to this Section of the United States Code and the agreement between the Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, and the United States Government. 30. Pursuant to the agreement, the Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, is in the same position as if he had been tried and convicted of the sexual offenses committed against the Plaintiff, Jane Doe, and as such he must effectively admit liability unto the Plaintiff, Jane Doe. 31. As a direct and proximate result of the offenses enumerated in Title 18, United States Code, Section 2255, being committed against the then minor Plaintiff, the Plaintiff, Jane Doe, has in the past suffered, and will in the future suffer, physical injury, pain and suffering, emotional distress, psychological trauma, mental anguish, humiliation, embarrassment, loss of self-esteem, loss of dignity, invasion of her privacy and other damages associated with Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, controlling, manipulating and coercing her into a perverse and unconventional way of life for a minor. The then minor Plaintiff incurred medical and Page 7 of 11 EFTA00234735 Case 9:08-cv-80893-KAM Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/14/2008 Page 8 of 12 %No psychological expenses and the Plaintiff, Jane Doe, will in the future suffer additional medical and psychological expenses.

COUNT III Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress 32. The Plaintiff, Jane Doe, adopts and realleges paragraphs I through 25 above. 33. The Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein's conduct towards the then minor Plaintiff was intentional and reckless. 34. The Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, deliberately and recklessly inflicted mental suffering upon the then minor Plaintiff. 35.
