Jennifer Araoz, who has accused Jeffrey Epstein of sexually assaulting and raping her when she was a teenager, filed a lawsuit Wednesday against Epstein’s estate, his ex-girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell, and three unnamed defendants.
The suit, filed in New York’s Supreme Court, is seeking damages for “extreme emotional injuries” and accuses Epstein of raping and sexually assaulting Araoz when she was 14 and 15 years old. Araoz’s suit also says that Maxwell “participated with and assisted Epstein in maintaining and protecting his sex-trafficking ring, ensuring that approximately three girls per day were made available to him for his sexual pleasure.”
