jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1367(a) over all other claims set forth herein which form part of the same case or controversy.

7. This Court has venue of this action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§1391(a) and 1391(b) as a substantial part of the events or omissions giving rise to the claim occurred in this District.

## Factual Allegations

8. At all relevant times, Defendant Jeffrey Epstein ("Epstein") was an adult male, approximately 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.

9. 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, Jane Doe, then approximately 13 years old, fell into Epstein’s trap and became one of his victims.

10. 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.

11. Epstein’s scheme involved the use of young girls to recruit underage girls. These underage girls were recruited ostensibly to give a wealthy man a massage for monetary compensation in his Palm Beach mansion. Epstein, 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.

12. Epstein’s plan and scheme reflected a particular pattern and method. The underage victim would be brought or directed to Epstein’s mansion, where she would be led up a flight of stairs to a bedroom that contained a massage table in addition to other furnishings. 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.

13. Consistent with the foregoing plan and scheme, when Jane Doe was only 13 years old, she was recruited by another girl to give Epstein a massage for monetary compensation. Jane was brought to Epstein’s mansion in Palm Beach. Once there, she was led up the flight of stairs to the room with the massage table. Epstein came into the room and directed Jane to remove her clothes and give him a massage. As directed by Epstein, Jane stripped to her underwear. Epstein then sexually assaulted Jane during the massage. In addition, Epstein masturbated during the massage. Epstein then paid Jane money.

14. As a result of this encounter with Epstein, Jane experienced confusion, shame, humiliation and embarrassment, and has suffered severe psychological and emotional injuries.

## COUNT I
Sexual Assault and Battery

15. Plaintiff Jane Doe repeats and realleges paragraphs 1 through 14 above.

16. Epstein made an intentional, unlawful offer of offensive sexual contact toward Jane Doe, creating a reasonable fear of imminent peril and sexual assault.

damage to Jane Doe, or Epstein acted with reckless disregard of the high probability of causing severe emotional distress to Jane Doe.

WHEREFORE, Plaintiff Jane Doe No. 6 demands judgment against Defendant Jeffrey Epstein for compensatory damages, costs, punitive damages, and such other and further relief as this Court deems just and proper.
