Defendant EPSTEIN, in agreement with two (2) persons he employed for this purpose, and Defendant, conspired with these other two, and others, to solicit young women of the type Defendant EPSTEIN preferred, blonde, attractive in appearance, and younger than 18 years of age, to provide sexual gratification for him by engaging in acts of prostitution.

  5. From about June, 2003 until on or about February, 2005, Defendants EPSTEIN ale persuaded, induced, or enticed the Plaintiff to come to Defendant EPSTEIN's home and provide Defendant EPSTEIN with "massages" which escalated into sexual encounters between Defendant EPSTEIN and the Plaintiff designed to fulfill his unnatural sexual desires for young women or even younger girls who were minors. These acts included Defendant EPSTEIN's request that he wanted the encounter to be like a "porn video." Defendant EPSTEIN would script lines for the Plaintiff to say, including calling out his name and requesting that he perform a certain sexual act "harder,"while he touched the Plaintiffs vagina with a vibrator or with his fingers; alternately, he would masturbate in the presence of the Plaintiff after demanding her to disrobe and walk in front of him in provocative sexual poses. Defendant EPSTEIN would pay the Plaintiff a fee of $200 on each occasion after he ejaculated while masturbating in the presence of the Plaintiff.

  6. Defendant EPSTEIN touched Plaintiffs vagina, or penetrated Plaintiffs vagina, using his fingers and/or a vibrator on multiple occasions, during the time that Plaintiff was a minor, causing personal injury to her.

  8. Plaintiff seeks damages for personal injury in accordance with 18 U.S.C. §2255(a) for each of the acts of prostitution set forth above for which Defendants solicited her, $150,000 for each violation, for a total range of damages between $1.5 million dollars to $4.5 million dollars, jointly and severally, and a reasonable attorney's fees and costs, as permitted by the statute.

  9. Defendant EPSTEIN has made an agreement with the United States Attorney's Office to not contest liability for claims brought exclusively pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §2255, in exchange for avoiding federal prosecution under 18 U.S.C. §2422(b), which provides a sentence of 10 years for each violation of the law.
