Epstein directed a complex system of individuals, including employees and associates of Defendant entities, to work in concert and at his direction, for the purpose of harming young females through sexual exploitation, abuse and trafficking. 29. It was widely known among individuals regularly in Epstein's presence that he obtained pleasure from corrupting and inducing vulnerable young females into engaging in uncomfortable and unwanted sexual acts for his own gratification. 30. Epstein's illegal sexual activities were investigated by law enforcement on at least two occasions, once in 2005-2008 by the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, and more recently by the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York. 31. On July 2, 2019, the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York filed a Sealed Two Count Indictment including One Count of Sex Trafficking Conspiracy and One Count of Sex Trafficking for violations of 18 U.S.C. §1591, in part due to Epstein's criminal activities against children in the New York Mansion located at 9 East 71s1 Street. 32. On July 8, 2019, Jeffrey Epstein was arrested pursuant to the aforementioned Indictment, which is attached hereto as Exhibit B. 33.

Criminal Indictment at 1. 34. "Moreover, and in order to maintain and increase his supply of victims, Epstein also paid certain of his victims to recruit additional girls to be similarly abused by EPSTEIN. In this way, EPSTEIN created a vast network of underage victims for him to sexually exploit in locations including New York and Palm Beach." Criminal Indictment at 1-2. 35. "The victims described herein were as young as 14 years old at the time they were abused by Jeffrey Epstein, and were, for various reasons, often particularly vulnerable to exploitation. Epstein intentionally sought out minors and knew that many of his victims were in fact under the age of 18, including because, in some instances, minor victims expressly told him their age." Criminal Indictment at 2. 36. "In creating and maintaining this network of minor victims in multiple states to sexually abuse and exploit, JEFFREY EPSTEIN ... worked and conspired with others, including employees and associates who facilitated his conduct by, among other things, contacting victims and scheduling their sexual encounters with EPSTEIN at the New York Residence and at the Palm Beach Residence."

The indictment further explained, and Plaintiff adopts and alleges, that, "[v]ictims were initially recruited to provide `massages' to Epstein, which would be performed nude or partially nude, would become increasingly sexual in nature, and would typically include one or more sex acts." Criminal Indictment at 3. 38. "Epstein abused numerous minor victims at the New York Residence by causing these victims to be recruited to engage in paid sex acts with him." Criminal Indictment at 3. 39. In addition to the allegations in the criminal indictment referenced above, Epstein also utilized a similar, if not the same, scheme many years before the time period that was charged and many years after, as well as in additional locations nationally and internationally. 40. Corporate Defendants enabled Jeffrey Epstein to receive daily massages from young females, often minors, who were not experienced in massage. Rather than receive regular body massages, Epstein was predictably sexually abusing the young females, including Plaintiff, in violation of New York Penal Law Section 130. 41. Additionally, employees of the various Corporate Defendant performed actions or failed to perform actions that further placed victims, including Plaintiff, in danger of being sexually abused by Epstein, and assisted in the concealment of his sexually abusive acts. 10 3501.484-002 Page 10 of 70 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00095916 EFTA01249990

In order to grow the enterprise and satisfy his insatiable sexual desire, Epstein and those working at his direction enabled victims themselves to elevate their status within the enterprise to that of a paid recruiter of other victims, an elevation only made possible through the assistance of Defendants. 43. Recruiters were taught by Jeffrey Epstein or by employees of Corporate Defendants to inform targeted young female victims that Epstein possessed extraordinary wealth, power, resources, and influence; that he was a philanthropist who would help female victims advance their education, careers, and lives; and that she only needed to provide Epstein with body massages in order to avail herself of his nearly unlimited assistance and influence. 44. Epstein and Corporate Defendants and their many employees fulfilled Epstein's compulsive need for sex with young females by preying on their personal, psychological, financial, and related vulnerabilities. Epstein and Defendants' tactics included promising the victims money, shelter, transportation, gifts, employment, admission into educational institutions, educational tuition, profession, licensure, protection, healthcare, and other things of value. 45. Jeffrey Epstein's sexual attraction to young, often underage, females dated back to at least the mid-nineties and the number of victims increased 11 3501.484-002 Page 11 of 70 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00095917 EFTA01249991

Defendants, at the direction of Epstein or in furtherance of his demands, and with help from assistants, associates and underlings, and even other victims, recruited or procured dozens if not hundreds of young females, including minors, for the purpose of Epstein's sexual gratification. 47. Jeffrey Epstein, and employees of certain Corporate Defendants, including at least Defendant HBRK, specifically targeted underprivileged, emotionally vulnerable and/or economically disadvantaged young females to sexually molest and abuse. 48. Additionally, Jeffrey Epstein and Corporate Defendants, through employees, informed young females, including Plaintiff, that Jeffrey Epstein was wealthy, well-connected, and had the power and ability to impact the life of any young female recruited or obtained to provide a massage. 49. Each of the Corporate Defendants committed acts of negligence that allowed for Epstein to commit acts in violation of New York Penal Law section 130. 50. Each of the Defendants committed acts against Plaintiff in violation of 18 U.S.C. §I59 I - §1595. 12 3501.484-002 Page 12 of 70 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00095918 EFTA01249992

Plaintiff was twenty years old when she met Jeffrey Epstein in 2006, at a time when Jeffrey Epstein was under federal criminal investigation by the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida in relation to his commission of various federal crimes, including violations of 18 U.S.C. §1591, against more than 30 identified minor females. 52. Plaintiff was a_in New York when she was recruited to meet Jeffrey Epstein by another young female who had also fallen prey to Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking scheme. 53. The recruiter asked Plaintiff if she wanted a job giving massages to a very wealthy man. 54. Plaintiff agreed to meet Jeffrey Epstein, knowing that she would be going to a New York mansion to give a wealthy man a massage. 55. The first time to the Mansion at 9 East 71st Street, she was taken upstairs and Jeffrey Epstein paid her hundreds of dollars to give him a massage. This massage was not sexual and Jeffrey Epstein used the time to ask Plaintiff about her life, during which he learned that 13 3501.484-002 Page 13 of 70 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00095919 EFTA01249993

Associate I called Plaintiff and told her to come back for a second time. 58. Again, on a second visit, Plaintiff was taken to the massage room in the Mansion and Jeffrey Epstein spent much of the time asking questions about Plaintiff, learning what she cared about, what professional plans she had, and what problems she was experiencing. 59. By the third visit, in 2006, Jeffrey Epstein informed Plaintiff that he had resources that he would use to advance Plaintiff's career if she would do what he wanted her to do. 60. Plaintiff started visiting Jeffrey Epstein more regularly and he began making the massages more sexual, digitally penetrating Plaintiff, and using sexual objects to insert in Plaintiff. 61. Jeffrey Epstein always reminded Plaintiff that because of the money he was paying her for the commercial sex acts that he called "massage," she was able, for the first time, to pay for her mother's rent and for her own groceries. 62. During her conversations with Jeffrey Epstein, 14 3501.484-002 Page 14 of 70 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00095920 EFTA01249994

Despite the fact that he had assured Plaintiff he would not try to have sexual intercourse with her, Jeffrey Epstein forced himself on Plaintiff against her will and wishes. 64. In 2006, Jeffrey Epstein told Plaintiff she was going on a trip with him to his island in the United States Virgin Islands. 65. On that trip was Jeffrey Epstein, Jean Luc Brunel, Ghislaine Maxwell, Associate 2, Associate 8, and two other victims in addition to Plaintiff. 66. It was there that Ghislaine Maxwell taught Plaintiff the "proper way to give a blow job," describing to her the exact way that Jeffrey Epstein liked to he sexually serviced orally. 67. Ghislaine Maxwell explicitly told Plaintiff she needed to learn how to properly sexually service Jeffrey Epstein in the exact way that he preferred. 68. Ghislaine Maxwell then taught Plaintiff step by step, using her own hands to demonstrate, how to pleasure Jeffrey Epstein manually so that Plaintiff would know exactly how to make Jeffrey Epstein happy. 69. The instruction by Ghislaine Maxwell included training on the proper pressure to apply, the location in which pressure should be applied, the location of the various nerve endings that should be stimulated, and the areas of the penis that are the most sensitive for targeted stimulation. 15 3501.484-002 Page 15 of 70 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00095921 EFTA01249995

Ghislaine Maxwell made it clear to Plaintiff that it was very important for her to understand and take this instruction seriously. The message delivered to Plaintiff by Ghislaine Maxwell was conveyed in a serious manner that instilled genuine fear in Plaintiff that her failure to comply would cause her serious harm. 71. When Plaintiff was called in to "massage" Jeffrey Epstein on the Island after Ghislaine Maxwell's instruction, he reiterated the same instruction that Plaintiff was provided by Ghislaine Maxwell using a hands on approach. 72. In addition to providing sexual instruction, Ghislaine Maxwell further made sure that Plaintiff and the other young females were constantly on call to sexually service Jeffrey Epstein. 73. While on the Island, Associate 2 also made it clear to Plaintiff that when Jeffrey Epstein asked her to engage in certain sexual behavior, she needed to comply. 74. Shortly thereafter, Jeffrey Epstein forced Plaintiff to engage in sexual activity with Associate 2 in his presence for his own sexual gratification. The experience between Plaintiff and Associate 2 was especially uncomfortable for Plaintiff. Jeffrey Epstein directed Associate 2 to use force on Plaintiff even after Plaintiff stated that she was uncomfortable and did not want to participate in the sexual acts then underway. At one point during the encounter, Jeffrey Epstein put his hands around Plaintiff's neck, which caused her a great deal of fear and 16 3501.484-002 Page 16 of 70 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00095922 EFTA01249996

Knowing that Jeffrey Epstein and his associates had confiscated her passport to prevent her from having the ability to leave the Island voluntarily, Plaintiff feared for her safety and felt forced into engaging in these sexual acts against her will. 76. It was clear by this trip that Jeffrey Epstein was extremely powerful and could cause serious harm to Plaintiff if she disobeyed. 77. Jeffrey Epstein learned in 2007 that 78. Plaintiff and Epstein talked numerous times about the fact that Plaintiff would only introduce him to her relative if he promised not to engage in any sexual conduct with her, to which Jeffrey Epstein agreed. 79.

Plaintiff does not want to reveal the identities of these individuals out of fear of retaliation. 81. There were also times when Jeffrey Epstein, during sexual massages, would be on the verge of ejaculating and would stop in order to make a phone call, at times saying that nearing sexual climax evoked certain important thoughts in Jeffrey Epstein's mind. Jeffrey Epstein would then take or initiate up to four business calls during any particular sexual massage. 82. During these phone calls, Jeffrey Epstein would seem to be advising the individuals he called in a very stern, authoritative voice. 83. On numerous calls, Plaintiff heard Jeffrey Epstein using a very angry and threatening tone and voice, making it known to the other party, and to Plaintiff, that he had the ability to cause serious harm to powerful people and anyone who did not cooperate with him. 84. The reasonable impression that Plaintiff had from overhearing his phone calls and listening to what he told her was that Jeffrey Epstein controlled very powerful and influential people and that disobeying him would cause serious repercussions for the disobedient party. 85. Plaintiff spent considerable time with Jeffrey Epstein and overheard many conversation. In most, Jeffrey Epstein seemed to be advising other powerful 18 3501.484-002 Page 18 of 70 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00095924 EFTA01249998

However, Important Business Person 1 was someone Jeffrey Epstein spoke to frequently, not only about business matters but also about what appeared to be intimate personal matters. Based on the conversations she heard, and the manner and style of voice Epstein used, Plaintiff believed for many months that this person was a female. 86. As Jeffrey Epstein realized Plaintiff's vulnerabilities, he began controlling her even more to a point where she felt she had no choice but to engage in commercial sex acts without putting herself in serious danger. 87. Jeffrey Epstein would demand that Plaintiff massage him and if he went to sleep she was told she had to continue to massage him knowing that he would become very angry if he stopped. 88. From 2006, when Jeffrey Epstein first forced himself on her , until 2012, he forced her to engage in commercial sex with him—sex for money—including intercourse, regularly and consistently. At no time did he give her a choice not to cooperate. 89.
