Defendant's preference for underage girls was well-known to those who regularly procured them for him. 60. Plaintiff, Jane Doe No. 102, was a victim of one or more offenses enumerated in 18 U.S.C. § 2255, and, as such, asserts a cause of action against Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, pursuant to this Section of the United States Code. 61.
