These Defendants worked in concert with one another to recruit, procure, entice, and otherwise cause many other females to engage in commercial sex acts, through their use of threats, fraud, and coercion. Among these means of coercion were the Defendant's possession and control of the females' passports and other immigration documents. This coercion was most salient, and especially effective, while the females, including Plaintiff, were on Epstein's island. 52. 4-9,1n furtherance of their venture and enterprise, Defendants provided living quarters for Plaintiff at 301 East 66th Street, New York, in the Southern District of New York; a car service for Plaintiff to use as needed; a cell phone; and other valuable consideration in order to maintain Plaintiffs sexual compliance.

The Defendants did not care whether the prospective female was qualified to work as a personal assistant because each knew that the female recruit would be immediately placed into the same sexually vulnerable position as Plaintiff (and the dozens of other victims of the sex trafficking enterprise) and would be induced and coerced into being used for sex through fraudulent representations and other means. 56. Defendants Epstein and Maxwell continuously and frequently demanded that Plaintiff fulfill this task of bringing another female back to the United States and Defendants' control as a condition of herPlaintiff's receiving the education, career and related benefits promised by Defendants Epstein and Maxwell.
