Re: International Sex Trafficking by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell
Dear Metropolitan Police:
I write on behalf of my client — . She is the victim of an
international sex trafficking crime in London shortly before March 13, 2001. In the following
weeks (and much earlier), the crimes also continued into the United States, specifically New
York City, New York, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The perpetrators of these crimes include: (1)
Jeffrey Epstein, a billionaire (and convicted sex offender) who is a citizen of the United States
residing in New York City; (2) Ghislaine Maxwell, a well-to-do citizen of the United Kingdom
who moved to the United States after the death of her father, Robert Maxwell; and (3) others
known and unknown. would like for Scotland Yard and/or Metropolitan Police to
investigate these crimes and prosecute those res onsible. The purpose of this letter is to provide
background about the crimes and to offer assistance in any investigation and
prosecution.
has described the relevant facts surrounding these crimes in the attached
sworn affidavit. Rather than repeat all the details recounted there I offer 'ust a quick summary.
In approximately the summer of 1999 in Palm Beach, Florida, was approached by
Ghislaine Maxwell to be a "masseuse" for Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein was a billionaire with a
mansion in the area. When went to the mansion, Epstein (and Maxwell) sexually
abused her. was 15 at the time of the first sexual abuse. She became Epstein's "sex
slave" over the next few years, and Epstein and Maxwell groomed her to perform sexual acts for
their powerful friends.
A little over two years later, in around March 2013, Epstein and Maxwell flew
to London on Epstein's private et. While in London, Epstein had sex with
Epstein and Maxwell also "lent" to one of their powerful friends — Mr. Andrew
Albert Christian Edward (a/k/a Prince Andrew, the Duke of York). The details of the sexual acts
are described in the attached affidavit. Of importance here is the fact that had a
photograph taken of her that evening. The photograph (the original of which I have access to)
was taken by Jeffrey Epstein and de icts the inside of Maxwell's apartment — along with
Maxwell, Prince Andrew, and . The date on the photograph shows that it was
developed on March 13, 2001, which was shortly after the relevant events. Following this sexual
EFTA00098456
act, returned with Epstein and Maxwell to New York City. Other events of a similar
nature took place in New York and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
It is my understanding that the activities of Epstein and Maxwell outlined above would be
a violation of American criminal laws, including the American prohibition of transporting
minors internationally for sexual purposes contained in 18 U.S. Code § 1591. I am not an expert
on the applicable laws in the United Kingdom, but it seems like the same type of criminal
offenses may exist there as well.
In America, there is no statute of limitations for sexual offenses involving minors. It is
possible that the law there in the United Kingdom is similar on this point as well.
In 2002, to escape Epstein, moved to In 2011, agents from the
Federal Bureau of Investigation's Office in the Southern District of Florida interviewed her, and
she recounted this information, as she described both in the first attached affidavit as well as in a
second attached affidavit. The status of the FBI's investigation into her allegations is uncertain at
this time. It may be the case that the Southern District of Florida is disabled from prosecuting
Epstein and Maxwell because of a "non-prosecution agreement" (NPA) that the U.S.
Government has entered into with Epstein. Along with attorney Brad Edwards, I am
representing and three other women who are trying to have that agreement set aside.
Litigation on that subject continues.
I should note that the attached affidavit was recently filed in the case attempting to set
aside the NPA. The judge struck the affidavit from the record on grounds that it was not relevant
at that stage of the proceedings. The judge made no findings regarding the accuracy of the
allegations in the affidavit and said that the affidavit could be refiled at a later point in the
proceedings if it became relevant and otherwise admissible in evidence.
I represent , along with co-counsel, Florida attorneys Brad Edwards and
Sigrid McCawley. We would like to discuss this matter with you at your earliest convenience. I
believe the Metropolitan Police possess jurisdiction in this matter but, if not, please advise as to
who would have jurisdiction. I have also attempted to send this communication via on-line
means.
While I am a professor at the University of Utah, I write in my own individual capacity as
a pro bono attorney representing , rather than on behalf of the University itself. I
look forward to further discussions with you in an effort to bring to justice Epstein, Maxwell, and
any others criminally culpable in these serious trafficking crimes.
Sincerely,
med. 2'". •111

JANE DOE #1 and JANE DOE #2,
Petitioners,
VS.
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Respondent.
DECLARATION OF
1. My name is and I was born in August, 1983.
2. I am currently 31 years old.
3. I grew up in When I was little, I loved animals and wanted
to be a veterinarian. But my life took a very different turn when adults began to be interested in
having sex with me.
4. In approximately 1999, when I was 15 years old, I met Ghislaine Maxwell. She is
the daughter of Robert Maxwell, who had been a wealthy publisher in Britain. Maxwell asked
that I come with her to Jeffrey Epstein's mansion for the purposes of teaching me how to
perform "massages" and to train me professionally in that area. Soon after that I went to
Epstein's home in Palm Beach on El Brillo Way.
5. From the first time I was taken to Epstein's mansion that day, his motivations and
actions were sexual, as were Maxwell's. My father was not allowed inside. I was brought up
some stairs. There was a naked guy, Epstein, on the table in the room. Epstein and Maxwell
forced me into sexual activity with Epstein. I was 15 years old at the time. He seemed to be in
his 40s or 50s. I was paid $200. I was driven home by one of Epstein's employees.

6. I came back for several days following and did the same sorts of sexual things for
Epstein.
7. After I did those things for Epstein, he and Maxwell said they were going to have
me travel and were going to get an education for me. They were promising me the world, that I
would travel with Epstein on his private jet and have a well-paid profession. Epstein said he
would eventually match me up with a wealthy person so that I would be "set up" for life.
8. So I started "working" exclusively for Epstein. He took me to New York on his
big, private jet. We went to his mansion in New York City. I was shown to my room, a very
luxurious room. The mansion was huge. I got scared because it was so big. Epstein brought me
to a room with a massage parlor. To me, it looked like an S&M parlor. Epstein made me engage
in sexual activities with him there.
9. You can see how young I looked in the photograph below.

10. Epstein took me on a ferry boat on one of the trips to New York City and there he
took the picture above. I was approximately 15 or 16 years old at the time.
11. Over the next few weeks, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell trained me to do
what they wanted, including sexual activities and the use of sexual toys. The training was in
New York and Florida, at Epstein's mansions. It was basically every day and was like going to
school. I also had to have sex with Epstein many times.
12. I was trained to be "everything a man wanted me to be." It wasn't just sexual
training - they wanted me to be able to cater to all the needs of the men they were going to send
me to. They said that they loved that I was very compliant and knew how to keep my mouth
shut.
13. Epstein and Maxwell also told me that they wanted me to produce things for them
in addition to performing sex on the men. They told to me to pay attention to the details about
what the men wanted, so I could report back to them.
14. From very early on I was fearful of Epstein. Epstein told me he was a billionaire.
I told my mother that I was working for this rich guy, and she said "go, go far away." Epstein
had promised me a lot, and I knew if I left I would be in big trouble. I also knew that I was a
witness to a lot of illegal and very bad behavior by Epstein and his friends. If I left Epstein, he
knew all kinds of powerful people. He could have had me killed or abducted, and I always knew
he was capable of that if I did not obey him. He let me know that he knew many people in high
places. Speaking about himself, he said "I can get away" with things. I was very scared,
particularly since I was a teenager.

15. I visited and traveled with Jeffrey Epstein from 1999 through the summer of
2002, and during that time I stayed with him, as his sex slave, at each of his houses (really more
like mansions) in locations including New York City, New York; the area of Santa Fe, New
Mexico; Palm Beach, Florida; an island in the U.S. Virgin Islands; and Paris, France. I had sex
with him often in these places and also with the various people he demanded that I have sex
with. Epstein paid me for many of these sexual encounters. In fact, my only purpose for
Epstein, Maxwell and their friends was to be used for sex.
16. To illustrate my connection to these places, I include four photographs taken of
me in New Mexico (shown below). The first one is a museum in Santa Fe, New Mexico. We
had gone sightseeing for the day. Epstein took this picture of me. I was approximately 17 at the
time, judging from the looks of it. At the end of the day we returned to Epstein's ZO/TO Ranch.
The second picture is me on one of Epstein's horses on the ranch in New Mexico. The following
two are from wintertime in New Mexico.

17. When I was with him, Epstein had sex with underage girls on a daily basis. His
interest in this kind of sex was obvious to the people around him. The activities were so obvious

Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 291-1 Entered on FLSD Docket 01/21/2015 Page 7 of 20
and bold that anyone spending any significant time at one of Epstein's residences would have
clearly been aware of what was going on.
18. Epstein's code word for sexual encounters was that it was a "massage". At times
the interaction between Epstein and the girls would start in a massage room setting, it was
always a sexual encounter and never just a massage.
19. In addition to constantly finding underage girls to satisfy their personal desires,
Epstein and Maxwell also got girls for Epstein's friends and acquaintances. Epstein specifically
told me that the reason for him doing this was so that they would "owe him," they would "be in
his pocket," and he would "have something on them." I understood him to mean that when
someone was in his pocket, they owed him favors. I also understood that Epstein thought he
could get leniency if he was ever caught doing anything illegal, or more so that he could escape
trouble altogether.
20. Ghislaine Maxwell was heavily involved in the illegal sex. I understood her to be
a very powerful person. She used Epstein's money and he used her name and connections to
gain power and prestige.
21. One way to describe Maxwell's role was as the "madame." She assumed a
position of trust for all the girls, including me. She got me to trust her and Epstein. It turned out
that Maxwell was all about sex all the time. She had sex with underage girls virtually every day
when I was around her, and she was very forceful.
22. I first had sexual activities with her when I was approximately 15 at the Palm
Beach mansion. I had many sexual activities with her over the next several years in Epstein's
various residences plus other exotic locations. I had sex with Maxwell in the Virgin Islands,
6
EFTA00098465
Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 291-1 Entered on FLSD Docket 01/21/2015 Page 8 of 20
New Mexico, New York, as well as France and many other locations. I also observed Maxwell
have sex with dozens of underage girls.
23. Maxwell took pictures of many of the underage girls. These pictures were
sexually explicit. Maxwell kept the pictures on the computers in the various houses. She also
made hard copies of these images and displayed them in the various houses. Maxwell had large
amounts of child pornography that she personally made. Many times she made me sleep with
other girls, some of whom were very young, for purposes of taking sexual pictures.
24. Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz was around Epstein frequently.
Dershowitz was so comfortable with the sex that was going on that he would even come and chat
with Epstein while I was giving oral sex to Epstein.
25. I had sexual intercourse with Dershowitz at least six times. The first time was
when I was about 16, early on in my servitude to Epstein, and it continued until I was 19.
26. The first time we had sex took place in New York in Epstein's home. It was in
Epstein's room (not the massage room). I was approximately 16 years old at the time. I called
Dershowitz "Alan." I knew he was a famous professor.
27. The second time that I had sex with Dershowitz was at Epstein's house in Palm
Beach. During this encounter, Dershowitz instructed me to both perform oral sex and have
sexual intercourse.
28. I also had sex with Dershowitz at Epstein's Zorro Ranch in New Mexico in the
massage room off of the indoor pool area, which was still being painted.
29. We also had sex at Little Saint James Island in the U.S. Virgin Islands. I was
asked to give Dershowitz a massage on the beach. Dershowitz then asked me to take him
somewhere more private, where we proceeded to have intercourse.

30. Another sexual encounter between me and Dershowitz happened on Epstein's
airplane. Another girl was present on the plane with us.
31. I have recently seen a former Harvard law professor identified as Alan
Dershowitz on television calling me a "liar." He is lying by denying that he had sex with me.
That man is the same man that I had sex with at least six times.
32. Epstein made me have sex with Prince Andrew several times. Prince Andrew,
Maxwell, and I are shown in the photograph below. I had sex with him three times, including
one orgy. I knew he was a member of the British Royal Family, but I just called him "Andy."
33. One day when I was in London (specifically in a townhouse that is under
Maxwell's name), I got news from Maxwell that I would be meeting a prince. Later that day,
Epstein told me I was meeting a "major prince." Epstein told me "to exceed" everything I had
been taught. He emphasized that whatever Prince Andrew wanted, I was to make sure he got.
34. Eventually Prince Andrew arrived, along with his security guards. The guards
then went out of the house and stayed out front in their car. It was just Epstein, Maxwell, and me
inside alone with Andy. I was introduced to the Prince, and we kissed formally, cheek to cheek.

EFTA00098467
Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 291-1 Entered on FLSD Docket 01/21/2015 Page 10 of

There was a lot of legal discussion about Andy and his ex-wife ("Fergie"). Then the discussion
turned to me. Maxwell said "guess how old she is." Prince Andrew guessed 17.
35. Then we all went to a Chinese restaurant for dinner and then to Club Tramp, a
fancy "members only" night club in central London. Andy arranged for alcohol to be provided
to me at the club. Eventually we left. I rode with Epstein and Maxwell back to the townhouse.
On the way there, Epstein and Maxwell informed me that the Prince wanted to see "more of me"
that night. Andy traveled in a separate car with his guards.
36. We all arrived back at the townhome and went upstairs. Epstein took a picture of
me and Andy with my own camera. The picture above is that picture, which has been widely
circulated on the intemet. Andy has his left arm around my waist and is smiling. The picture was
developed on March 13, 2001, and was taken sometime shortly before I had it developed. I was
17 years old at the time.
37. I wanted a picture with the prince because I was keeping in contact with my
family. I had told my mom and my grandma that I was meeting Prince Andrew and that I'd take
a picture for them. They told me to "be careful."
38. After the picture, Epstein and Maxwell kissed me and said to "have fun." They
left Andy and me alone upstairs. We went to the bathroom and bedroom, which were just steps
away from where the picture was taken. We engaged in sexual activities there. Afterwards,
Andy left quickly with his security.
39. I chatted with Epstein about this the next day. I told him, "it went great." Epstein
said something to the effect of, "You did well. The Prince had fun." I felt like I was being
graded. It was horrible to have to recount all these events and have to try to meet all these needs

Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 291-1 Entered on FLSD Docket 01/21/2015 Page 11 of

and wants. I told Epstein about Andy's sexual interests in feet. Epstein thought it was very
funny. Epstein appeared to be collecting private information about Andy.
40. When I got back from my trip, Epstein paid me more than he had paid me to be
with anyone else — approximately $15,000. That money was for what I had done and to keep my
mouth shut about "working" with the Prince.
41. The second time I had sex with Prince Andrew was in Epstein's New York
mansion in spring 2001. I was 17 at time. Epstein called me down to his office. When I got
there, Epstein was there, along with Maxwell, and Andy. I was very surprised
to see him again. Epstein and Maxwell were making lewd jokes about "Randy Andy".
42. I had the impression that Andy had come there to see Epstein and to me
with. There was no other apparent purpose for Andy to be there.
43. I was told to go upstairs with Andy and to go to the room I thought of as the
"dungeon" (the massage room, but it is really scary looking). I with Andy there. I was
only paid $400 from Epstein for servicing Andy that time.
44. The third time I had sex with Andy was in an orgy on Epstein's private island in
the U.S. Virgin Islands. I was around 18 at the time. Epstein, Andy, approximately eight other
young girls, and I had sex together. The other girls all seemed and appeared to be under the age
of 18 and didn't really speak English. Epstein laughed about the fact they couldn't really
communicate, saying that they are the "easiest" girls to get along with. My assumption was that
Jean Luc Brunel got the girls from Eastern Europe (as he procured many young foreign girls for
Epstein). They were young and European looking and sounding.
45. Afterwards we all had dinner by the cabanas. The other girls were chatting away
among themselves, and Epstein and the Prince chatted together. I felt disgusted, and went
10
EFTA00098469
Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 291-1 Entered on FLSD Docket 01/21/2015 Page 12 of
20
quickly to my own cabana that night and went to sleep. Prince Andrew must have flown out
early the next morning, as I did not see him when I got up.
46. I have seen Buckingham Palace's recent "emphatic" denial that Prince Andrew
had sexual contact with me. That denial is false and hurtful to me. I did have sexual contact
with him as I have described here — under oath. Given what he knows and has seen, I was
hoping that he would simply voluntarily tell the truth about everything. I hope my attorneys can
interview Prince Andrew under oath about the contacts and that he will tell the truth.
47. I also had sexual intercourse with Jean Luc Brunel many times when I was 16
through 19 years old. He was another of Epstein's powerful friends who had many contacts with
young girls throughout the world. In fact, his only similarity with Epstein and the only link to
their friendship appeared to be that Brunel could get dozens of underage girls and feed Epstein's
(and Maxwell's) strong appetite for sex with minors.
48. Brunel ran some kind of modeling agency and appeared to have an arrangement
with the U.S. Government where he could get passports or other travel documents for young
girls. He would then bring these young girls (girls ranging in age from 12 to 24) to the United
States for sexual purposes and farm them out to his friends, including Epstein.
49. Brunel would offer the girls "modeling" jobs. A lot of the girls came from poor
countries or poor backgrounds, and he lured them in with a promise of making good money.
50. I had to have sex with Brunel at Little St. James (orgies), Palm Beach, New York
City, New Mexico, Paris, the south of France, and California. He did not care about
conversation, just sex.
51. Jeffrey Epstein has told me that he has slept with over 1,000 of Brunel's girls, and
everything that I have seen confirms this claim. Epstein, Brunel, and Maxwell loved orgies with
11
EFTA00098470
Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 291-1 Entered on FLSD Docket 01/21/2015 Page 13 of
20
kids — that is, having sexual interactions with many young teenagers at the same time.
Sometimes as many as ten underage girls would participate in a single orgy with them. I
personally observed dozens of these orgies. The orgies happened on Epstein's island in the U.S.
Virgin Islands, in New Mexico, Palm Beach, and many other places. Most of the girls did not
speak English. It was my understanding that the girls had been persuaded to come by Brunel
offering them illegal drugs or a career in modeling. Brunel was one of the main procurers of
girls.
52. In addition to Ghislaine Maxwell, and were also
involved in the orgies. At this stage, I am hopeful that these other women will come forward and
tell the truth about everything because that will help prevent future similar abuse.
53. I have seen reports saying or implying that I had sex with former President Bill
Clinton on Little Saint James Island. Former President Bill Clinton was present on the Island at
a time when I was also present on the Island, but I have never had sexual relations with Clinton,
nor have I ever claimed to have had such relations. I have never seen him have sexual relations
with anyone.
54. I now understand that Epstein reached a non-prosecution agreement with the
federal government in 2007 and pled guilty to two state crimes in June 2008. 1 now know that I
was identified by the federal government as one of Epstein's and his co-conspirator's sexually
abused victims. However, no one told me about those events until after they happened.
55. On September 3, 2008, the FBI sent a victim notification letter to me. This was
the first written communication I had received from the FBI. The letter is attached as Exhibit I.
The letter describes an agreement in which compensation would be made victims of Epstein's
12
EFTA00098471
Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 291-1 Entered on FLSD Docket 01/21/2015 Page 14 of
20
sexual abuse. The letter also said that the federal government was going to "defer federal
prosecution." No one had told me about deferring federal prosecution before this.
56. In 2011, two FBI agents, called m nd then came to meet me. They
met me at the They seemed to be very professional and hard working.
I thought to myself, "Wow, these people will do the right thing against the bad guys and protect
me."
57. The agents were mainly focused on Epstein but while there I provided them some
information about others who were involved in illegal acts as well. I was aware that a false
statement to these law enforcement officers was a crime and I told the truth — giving them the
information that I could recall about the individuals they inquired about.
58. Epstein also trafficked me for sexual purposes to many other powerful men,
including politicians and powerful business executives. Epstein required me to describe the
sexual events that I had with these men presumably so that he could potentially blackmail them.
I am still very fearful of these men today.
59. I will continue to cooperate fully in the investigation and prosecution of Epstein,
Maxwell, or any of their friends who participated in the sexual abuse of minors. I also hope that
this information is treated in a way that will keep me safe from Epstein and others criminals
identified here so as to encourage more victims of similar crimes to come forward. If these
crimes are not prosecuted, despite my volunteering this information and cooperation, then it may
deter other similar victims from coming forward.
60. In this affidavit, I have tried to focus on how I was trafficked for sexual purposes.
I have not described all of the details of the sexual activities Epstein forced me to have. Also, I
have not described all of the details of the other events discussed here. If a judge wants me to
13
EFTA00098472
Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 291-1 Entered on FLSD Docket 01/21/2015 Page 15 of
20
present my information in more detail, including more specific descriptions of the sexual
activities with the men Epstein sent me to. I could do so.
61. I have directed my attorneys. Bradley J. Edwards and Paul G. Cassell, to pursue
all reasonable and legitimate means to have criminal charges brought against these powerful
people for the crimes they have committed against me and other girls. They are representing me
in this case pro bono.
62. Since I filed my motion in this case. my credibility has been attacked. I am telling
the truth and will not let these attacks prevent me from exposing the truth of how I was trafficked
for sex to many powerful people. These powerful people seem to think that they don't have to
follow the same rules as everyone else. That is wrong. I hope that by coming forward, I can
help expose the problem of sex trafficking and prevent the same sort of abuse and degradation
that happened to me from happening to other girls.
63. I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.

Re: Jeffrey Epstein/ NOTIFICATION OF
IDENTIFIED VICTIM
Dear
•
By virtue of this letter, the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District
of Florida provides you with the following notice because you are an identified victim of a
federal offense.
On June 30, 2008, Jeffrey Epstein (hereinafter referred to as "Epstein) entered a plea
of guilty to violations of Florida Statutes Sections 796.07 (felony solicitation of prostitution)
and 796.03 (procurement of minors to engage in prostitution). in the 15th Judicial Circuit in
and for Palm Beach County (Case Nos. 2006-cf-009454A7OO(MB and 2008-cf-
00938 lAXXXMB) and was sentenced to a term of twelve months' imprisonment to be

Special Master selected Robert Josefsberg, Esq. of the firm Podhurst
Orseck, P.A., a highly-respected and experienced attorney. You are not
obligated to use Mr. Josefsberg as your civil attorney, but, as explained
in greater detail below, Mr. Josefsberg's services will be provided at no
cost to you because Mr. Epstein is obligated to pay the costs and fees
of the attorney-representative. Also, Mr. Epstein and his attorneys can
only contact you via Mr. Josefsberg, assuming that you would like Mr.
Josefsberg to serve as your attorney.
2. If you elect to file suit against Mr. Epstein pursuant to Title 18, United
States Code, Section 2255, Mr. Epstein will not contest the jurisdiction
of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida
over his person and/or the subject matter, and Mr. Epstein waives his
right to contest liability and also waives his right to contest damages up
to an amount as agreed to between you and Mr. Epstein, so long as you
elect to proceed exclusively under I8 U.S.C. § 2255, and you waive any
other claim for damages, whether pursuant to state, federal, or common
law. Notwithstanding this waiver, Epstein's agreement with the United
States, his waivers and failure to contest liability and such damages in
any suit are not to be construed as an admission of any criminal or civil
liability.
3. As stated above, Mr. Epstein has agreed to pay the fees of the attorney
representative selected by the independent third party. This provision,
however, shall not obligate Epstein to pay the fees and costs of
contested litigation filed against him. Thus, if after consideration of
potential settlements, you and Mr. Josefsberg elect to file a contested
lawsuit pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 2255 or you elect to pursue any other
contested remedy, the obligation to pay the costs of the attorney
representative, as opposed to any statutory or other obligations to pay
reasonable attorneys fees and costs such as those contained in Section
2255, shall cease.
Please contact either myself at or Justice
Department Victim-Witness Specialist Twiler Smith at with a good
telephone number and/or e-mail address, so that we may provide Mr. Josefsberg with a
timely means of communicating with you. If you would like to contact Mr. Josefsberg

future, and you decide to file a claim against Jeffrey Epstein, Mr. Epstein's attorney, Jack

to represent you, that attorney can review the Court's order in the matter of In re Jane Does

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
CASE NO. 08-80736-CIV-MARRA
JANE DOE #1 and JANE DOE #2,
Petitioners,
vs.
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Respondent.
DECLARATION OF) JANE DOE 3
1. The Court is familiar with me from my previous declaration in this case. I am currently
and want to become a part of the case to enforce my rights and possibly allow
criminal prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein and others who abused underage girls.
2. I have seen a Government filing saying that I waited too long before trying to become a
part of this case. I don't think that the Government's position tells the full story about me. In
fact, I believe the Government is hiding some of the things that it knows about me and about
other powerful people involved in this case. I am filing this declaration so that the Court will
have more facts to make the decision about whether to let me come into the case.
3. In its latest filing, the Government seetns to be questioning why I was afraid and did not
come forward to speak more quickly. To understand my reasons, it is important that I share at
least some additional information about why I was so fearful after my abuse by Epstein and
others.
4. The Court can best understand my situation by looking at my previous declaration and
then understanding why I was afraid of Epstein, how I eventually escaped from him, and how I
was forced to hide from him and others.
5. I first met Epstein when I was 15 years old. I have told the Court about some of my
sexual and physical abuse in my earlier declaration.
6. As a result of that abuse and my considerable interactions with Epstein and his friends, I
knew that Epstein was connected to some of the most powerful people in the world, including a
member of the British Royal family, a former President of the United States, and other very
powerful lawyers, politicians and businessmen. I was afraid of what would happen if I tried to
escape from Epstein or report him to law enforcement.

7. I also knew what Epstein and Maxwell had been doing the years that I was with them. In
addition to constantly finding underage girls to satisfy their personal sexual desires, Epstein and
Maxwell also got girls for Epstein's powerful friends and acquaintances. Epstein specifically
told me that the reason for him doing this was so that they would "owe him," they would "be in
his pocket," and he would "have something on them." Epstein used to brag a lot to me about the
important people that owed him favors.
8. Epstein said that he knew people that were very powerful and who were politically
involved, and that consequently he was someone you didn't want to mess with. I also knew this
to be true from my personal observations with him.
9. Epstein also apparently paid to get protection from authorities. For example, Epstein told
me that he paid a substantial "donation" to the Palm Beach police every year to "keep their
mouths shut" about his activities. I do not know if his claim is true, but it certainly added to my
fear.
10. Epstein arranged for many politically powerful, older men to have sex with underage
girls — including me. Because these were crimes — and because some of these rnen were married
— this gave Epstein the ability to blackmail these men and obtain political and other favors. I
believe that Epstein's connections and his ability to blackmail these other powerful people could
have helped Epstein seek a plea bargain from the authorities that kept him out of prison. I also
believe that these connections most likely have prevented him from being arrested in the other
locations where he has committed similar offenses.
II. I also knew that Epstein maintained videos in some rooms where I had sex with other
powerful people, and I believe that those videos could be used as further blackmail.
12. I have listed a few of the powerful people that Epstein forced me to have sex with in my
earlier declaration. There were others, though, who I continue to refrain from naming publicly
out of fear for physical repercussions.
13. Part of my fear comes from physical abuse that I suffered when Epstein forced me to
have sex with other people. Without going into the details of the sexual activities I was forced to
endure, there were times when I was physically abused to the point that I remember fearfully
thinking that I didn't know whether I was going to survive.
14. Jeffrey Epstein knew about this physical and sexual abuse because I would detail it for
him as part of my debriefing. Epstein didn't care. Epstein said things like, "You get that
sometimes." I told him how much I hated having to be with some people, but Epstein still sent
me back. I had no choice.
15. I give the Court this information so that it can better understand why I was so afraid of
Epstein and what he could do to me. I could provide more details to the Court, if the Court needs
more details on this issue. I also wanted to provide this information to the Court because I have
been accused of being a "serial prostitute." I don't think that is a fair way to describe my
situation, given that I was so young and so many powerful people were forcibly abusing me.

16. Epstein let me know one of his good friends was former President Bill Clinton. While I
did not have sex with former President Clinton, Epstein clearly had access to this extremely
powerful man. Epstein also made me sexually service other very powerful people, which made
me more fearful and feeling like I had nobody to report to without putting myself in more
danger. I don't think it is fair for the Government to talk about why I didn't try to join this case
sooner without talking about these kinds of facts — facts that I believe it has been able to confirm.
17. After years of abuse and being lent out, I began to look for a way to escape. I had been
first forced into all this because I wanted to be a massage therapist. Epstein had taken me into
his clutches through promises and talk. But once he had me under his control, I felt trapped.
18. I kept asking Epstein for my promised training and education. Epstein finally got me a
plane ticket to T
