after which EPSTEIN paid the victims hundreds of dollars in
cash, at the New York Residence and the Palm Beach Residence.
7. In both New York and Florida, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the
defendant, perpetuated this abuse in similar ways. Victims were
initially recruited to provide "massages" to EPSTEIN, which
would be performed nude or partially nude, became increasingly
sexual in nature, and would typically include one or more sex
acts. EPSTEIN paid his victims hundreds of dollars in cash for
each encounter. Moreover, EPSTEIN actively encouraged certain
of his victims to recruit additional minor girls to be similarly
sexually abused. EPSTEIN incentivized his victims to become
recruiters by paying these victim-recruiters hundreds of dollars
for each minor girl that they brought to EPSTEIN to be sexually
abused. In so doing, EPSTEIN maintained a steady supply of new
victims to exploit.
The New York Residence
8. At all times relevant to this Indictment, JEFFREY
EPSTEIN, the defendant, possessed and controlled a multi-story
private residence on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York,
i.e., the New York Residence. Between at least in or about 2002
and in or about 2005, EPSTEIN abused numerous minor victims at
the New York Residence by causing these victims to be recruited
to engage in sex acts with him, after which EPSTEIN would
provide the victims with hundreds of dollars in cash.
