Six. 46 00:03:01,159 --> 00:03:04,599 Epstein conspired with others and hired staff to maintain and 47 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,719 keep secret this network of sexual abusers for years, which 48 00:03:08,759 --> 00:03:13,120 sprawled throughout Epstein's residences in New York, Florida, New Mexico, 49 00:03:13,439 --> 00:03:18,080 the United States, Virgin Islands, and Paris. Epstein's preference was 50 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:22,199 to have three different girls a day for his sexual pleasure. Seven. 51 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,840 Despite his significant criminal activity, in two thousand and eight, 52 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,919 Epstein received a shockingly minimal charge, pleading guilty to a 53 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,400 single Florida state law charge of procuring a minor for 54 00:03:33,479 --> 00:03:36,759 prostitution and a non prosecution agreement with the U. S. 55 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,319 Attorney for the Southern District of Florida. Unknown to the 56 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,479 public and the victims at the time, Epstein's lawyers were 57 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,919 pressuring the government to commit to the NPA without informing 58 00:03:46,919 --> 00:03:50,719 the victims. Epstein's multiple victims were kept in the dark 59 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,840 and told to be patient while Epstein's lawyers worked to 60 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:58,759 protect them and other potential co conspirators from prosecution. Epstein 61 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,680 served one year in jail, but was afforded the privilege 62 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,840 of being able to leave the jail to go to 63 00:04:03,919 --> 00:04:07,000 work for twelve hours per day, six days per week. 64 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,719 Number eight. The NPA allowed Epstein to escape proportionate punishment 65 00:04:11,759 --> 00:04:14,919 for his actions and to continue operating his sex trafficking 66 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:19,759 enterprise with Liberty nine. A few years later, Epstein flippantly 67 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,839 referred to his sexual abuse of multiple miners and the 68 00:04:22,879 --> 00:04:24,959 slap on the wrist that he received for it. In 69 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,720 a twenty eleven interview with The New York Post, billionaire 70 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,959 pervert Jeffrey Epstein is back in New York City and 71 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,879 making wise cracks about his just ended jail stint for 72 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,759 having sex with an underage girl. I am not a 73 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,959 sexual predator. I'm an offender, the financier pedophile told the 74 00:04:41,959 --> 00:04:45,240 Post yesterday.

In August 78 00:04:57,199 --> 00:05:01,160 twenty eighteen, just one year before his death, Epstein told 79 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:05,040 a New York Times reporter that criminalizing sex with teenage 80 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,720 girls was a cultural aberration and that at times in 81 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,079 history it was perfectly acceptable. James B. Stewart the day 82 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,079 Jeffrey Epstein told me he had dirt on powerful people, 83 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:20,160 New York Times, August twelfth, twenty nineteen eleven. When plaintiff 84 00:05:20,199 --> 00:05:23,079 was twenty six years old, Epstein added her to his 85 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,240 long list of victims by committing sexual assault and battery 86 00:05:26,319 --> 00:05:30,240 against her. As such, Epstein is responsible for battery and 87 00:05:30,319 --> 00:05:34,800 intentional infliction of emotional distress pursuant to New York common law. 88 00:05:35,759 --> 00:05:39,680 The damage to plaintiff has been severe and lasting twelve. 89 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:45,319 This action has been timely filed pursuant to NYCPLR Section 90 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,759 two fifteen eight and ay, which provides that a plaintiff 91 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,199 shall have at least one year from the termination of 92 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,439 a criminal action against the same defendant to commence an 93 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,000 action with respect to the event or occurrence from which 94 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,720 the criminal action a rouse. A criminal action against Epstein 95 00:06:02,959 --> 00:06:06,800 with respect to the sex trafficking enterprise from which Plaintiff's 96 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:11,839 claims arise was terminated on August twenty ninth, twenty nineteen thirteen. 97 00:06:12,319 --> 00:06:16,120 Any statute of limitations applicable to Plaintiff's claims, if any 98 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,319 is told. Due to the continuous and active deception, duress, 99 00:06:20,439 --> 00:06:24,079 threats of retaliation, and other forms of misconduct that Epstein 100 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:28,560 and his co conspirators used to silence as many victims, including plaintiff, 101 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:33,199 Epstein's actions deprived plaintiff of the opportunity to commence this 102 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,800 lawsuit before his death. Until his death, plaintiff feared that 103 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,839 Epstein and his co conspirators would harm her or her family, 104 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:45,759 or run her life if she came forward. Fourteen defendants 105 00:06:45,759 --> 00:06:49,759 are equitably stopped from asserting a statute of limitations defense. 106 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:54,279 Allowing defendants to do so would be unjust. Epstein and 107 00:06:54,319 --> 00:06:58,319 his employees intimidated each of his victims into silence by 108 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:02,680 threatening their lives and their lifelihoods. They therefore prevented plaintiff 109 00:07:02,879 --> 00:07:06,399 from commencing this lawsuit before his death. By using threats 110 00:07:06,519 --> 00:07:10,000 along with his wealth and power, Epstein was able to 111 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:14,000 escape punishment for his intolerable and brutal crimes against countless 112 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,720 young women and underage girls for the duration of his life. 113 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:23,360 Parties fifteen.

Accordingly, jurisdiction is proper under US Code twenty eight, 128 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:24,560 Section thirteen thirty two.

Epstein owned multiple residences and frequently traveled between them, 143 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,120 including at nine East seventy first Street, New York, New York, 144 00:09:23,519 --> 00:09:26,480 and at forty nine Zoro Ranch Road, Stanley, New Mexico, 145 00:09:26,919 --> 00:09:31,480 where the illegal sexual crimes against plaintiff occurred.

Epstein conservatively valued 148 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,519 his New Mexico ranch at seventeen million, two hundred and 149 00:09:42,519 --> 00:09:45,759 forty six thousand, two hundred and eight dollars. In addition, 150 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:50,120 Epstein owned residences in the Virgin Islands, Florida, France, and 151 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,480 even on his own island, Great Saint James Island, where 152 00:09:53,519 --> 00:09:58,000 his transcontinental sex trafficking of hundreds of young women servicing him, 153 00:09:58,159 --> 00:10:01,720 his co conspirators, and wealthy and powerful individuals around the 154 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:06,399 world occurred twenty four. At all times material to this 155 00:10:06,519 --> 00:10:10,799 cause of action, Jeffrey Epstein utilized his seemingly unlimited power, 156 00:10:10,879 --> 00:10:13,840 wealth and resources, as well as his deep connections to 157 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:18,639 powerful and politically connected individuals, to intimidate and manipulate his 158 00:10:18,759 --> 00:10:23,039 victims of sexual abuse.

As part of the scheme, a female recruiter 161 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,600 would approach a young female and strike up a conversation 162 00:10:33,919 --> 00:10:36,759 in an effort to quickly learn about the young female's 163 00:10:36,759 --> 00:10:41,519 background and any vulnerabilities they could expose. The recruiter would 164 00:10:41,519 --> 00:10:44,720 then manipulate the young female into coming back to one 165 00:10:44,759 --> 00:10:49,039 of Epstein's residences by offering the young females something she needed. 166 00:10:49,639 --> 00:10:53,039 At times, the recruiters lure would be a modeling opportunity, 167 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,720 money for education, help for the young female's family, and 168 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,960 the whole host of other related offers depending on their 169 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:04,360 target situation. Once in the residence, the recruiter and Epstein 170 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,600 would work in concert to impress and intimidate the young 171 00:11:07,639 --> 00:11:11,679 female with displays of vast wealth, including having employees that 172 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,679 were butlers and maids formally dressed around the house. They 173 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:20,399 would also strategically place photographs of very powerful political and 174 00:11:20,519 --> 00:11:24,600 social figures amongst photographs and art displaying nude females in 175 00:11:24,639 --> 00:11:29,039 an effort to normalize the sexual abuse. They would also 176 00:11:29,159 --> 00:11:32,360 normalize the sexual abuse by placing a massage table and 177 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:36,000 spa related products around the massage area in an effort 178 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,159 to legitimize the area where the abuse was set to occur. 179 00:11:39,759 --> 00:11:43,679 Once abused, Epstein and his co conspirators continue to manipulate 180 00:11:43,759 --> 00:11:47,840 the victims using their financial power, promises, and threats to 181 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,879 ensure that the victims returned as directed and remain compliant 182 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,080 with their demands.

Armer was born on November 242 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,919 twenty eighth, nineteen sixty nine. Her parents divorce when she 243 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,480 was young, and her mother struggled to financially support Maria 244 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,720 and her siblings. In nineteen ninety three, Maria moved to 245 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,759 New York City to pursue art thirty six. In approximately 246 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,519 nineteen ninety five, Maria was an accomplished artist and graduate 247 00:16:19,559 --> 00:16:22,320 student at the New York Academy of Art. She met 248 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,960 Epstein and Glenn Maxwell, a British socialite known for recruiting 249 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,279 young girls for Epstein, at one of her art openings 250 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:33,000 in New York. Epstein noticed Maria's art work and offered 251 00:16:33,039 --> 00:16:35,120 to help her career if she sold a piece of 252 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,519 artwork for him for half price. Maria agreed and sold 253 00:16:38,519 --> 00:16:42,360 the painting to Epstein thirty seven. Epstein asked Maria many 254 00:16:42,399 --> 00:16:45,360 personal questions, including if she had a father, and other 255 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:49,200 questions about her life and her family. Maria told Epstein 256 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,960 that her parents were divorced and that she and her 257 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:57,080 family were struggling financially. Thirty eight. Epstein later offered Maria 258 00:16:57,399 --> 00:16:59,639 a job to purchase art for him in New York, 259 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:04,400 and she accepted thirty nine. Eventually, Epstein modified Maria's job 260 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,839 duties to focus on monitoring and keeping records of who 261 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,319 entered Epstein's New York mansion. In her position at the 262 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:15,359 front door, she observed that Maxwell was regularly bringing school 263 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,839 age girls to the mansion and that the girls were 264 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,799 always escorted upstairs. Among the guests that came to the mansion, 265 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:26,079 Maria observed Alan Dershowitz, a lawyer, on a number of occasions, 266 00:17:26,279 --> 00:17:28,519 and observed that he would go upstairs at the same 267 00:17:28,559 --> 00:17:32,839 time the young girls were there. Forty Maxwell described her 268 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,920 role to Maria as recruiting models for Epstein and told 269 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,640 Maria that the girls were interviewing from modeling positions with 270 00:17:39,759 --> 00:17:44,920 Victoria's secret a lingerie retailer. Maria witnessed Maxwell approaching young 271 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,079 females on the street and talking to them outside of 272 00:17:48,079 --> 00:17:51,640 the mansion. Maxwell would leave the mansion claiming that she 273 00:17:51,759 --> 00:17:54,200 had to go get girls for Jeffrey, and referred to 274 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,519 the girls she was recruiting as new buals forty one. 275 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,799 At the time, Maria was unaware of the sex trafficking 276 00:18:00,799 --> 00:18:03,839 conspiracy and believe the girls and young women were being 277 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:08,519 recruited for modeling positions forty two. Epstein also made very 278 00:18:08,559 --> 00:18:12,000 clear to Maria that he was incredibly wealthy, powerful, and 279 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,319 regularly in contact with world leaders. In fact, in his 280 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:19,400 New York mansion, he had photographs displayed of significant political 281 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:23,160 figures To ensure that young females entering the home would 282 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:27,519 know that he had extensive government connections. Epstein was not 283 00:18:27,519 --> 00:18:30,599 to be disobeyed, and he made this clear by words 284 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:34,319 and actions that there would be consequences if Maria did 285 00:18:34,319 --> 00:18:39,000 not comply with his demands. Forty three, Epstein and Maxwell 286 00:18:39,279 --> 00:18:43,480 asked Maria questions about her family. Maria often would use 287 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,400 her family members as her subjects for her artwork, so 288 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,720 she had several photographs of her siblings, including her younger 289 00:18:49,799 --> 00:18:53,519 sister Annie. Epstein and Maxwell started asking a number of 290 00:18:53,599 --> 00:18:56,759 questions about Annie, and Maria told them how smart Annie 291 00:18:56,799 --> 00:18:59,119 was and how she hoped to go to a great college. 292 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,960 After seeing photos of Annie, Epstein told Maria that he 293 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,240 wanted to fly Annie to New York for a visit. 294 00:19:05,839 --> 00:19:09,400 Maria thought Epstein was simply generous, since Maria had explained 295 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,359 how much she missed seeing Annie. What Maria did not 296 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:16,200 realize was Epstein was intending to groom Annie for sexual abuse. 297 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,759 Forty four, Epstein paid for plane tickets to fly Annie 298 00:19:20,759 --> 00:19:23,920 to New York. During the visit, Epstein took Annie and 299 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,359 Maria to a movie. During the movie, without Maria's knowledge, 300 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:31,480 Epstein groped Nannie against her will. Thereafter, Annie left New 301 00:19:31,559 --> 00:19:34,480 York to head home without telling Maria that Epstein groped 302 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:38,480 her during the movie. Forty five, after Annie's visit to 303 00:19:38,519 --> 00:19:41,440 New York, Epstein began to call Annie and Maria's mother 304 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,359 to discuss Annie and to falsely claim that he was 305 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,400 interested in helping Annie with her goal of going to 306 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,960 a great college. He eventually convinced Annie's mother to allow 307 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,799 Annie to fly to his ranch in New Mexico at 308 00:19:53,799 --> 00:19:57,160 the age of sixteen, where Maxwell and Epstein assaulted her 309 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:01,319 forty six. During the course of her employ with Epstein, 310 00:20:01,559 --> 00:20:04,759 he directed Maria to become an artist in residence at 311 00:20:04,799 --> 00:20:08,519 billionaire lest Wexner's Ohiowa state. At the time, Wexner was 312 00:20:08,559 --> 00:20:12,799 the chief executive of the parent company of Victoria's secret Epstein, 313 00:20:12,839 --> 00:20:15,559 and for Maria that she would be staying in Epstein's 314 00:20:15,599 --> 00:20:19,359 thirty thousand square foot guesthouse that was located on Wexner's 315 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:23,480 Ohioa state. Forty seven, During Maria's time at Wexner's estate, 316 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:28,160 Epstein and Maxwell visited Epstein requested a foot massage from Maria. 317 00:20:28,599 --> 00:20:31,759 Maria found the request to be disturbing, but complied because 318 00:20:31,759 --> 00:20:36,000 Epstein was her employer. Forty eight, after complying with his 319 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,039 request for a massage, Epstein invited Maria to sit on 320 00:20:39,079 --> 00:20:42,880 the bed where he was watching television. Maxwell then joined 321 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,160 them on the bed. Epstein and Maxwell proceeded to attack 322 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:50,279 Maria physically against her will, including bi violently sexually assaulting 323 00:20:50,319 --> 00:20:54,240 Maria forty nine. Maria fled from the room and called 324 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,839 the police, but the police did not respond to her. 325 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,759 Desperate for help, Maria then called her father for help. 326 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,720 Despite demanding to be allowed to leave the property, Wexner's 327 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,279 security personnel held Maria against her will and did not 328 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,319 let her leave the property for several hours, even after 329 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,880 she pleaded with them and told them about her assault. 330 00:21:13,519 --> 00:21:16,319 They eventually let Maria leave with her father, who had 331 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,759 driven from Kentucky to Ohio to get Mario away from 332 00:21:19,799 --> 00:21:23,880 Epstein and Maxwell. Fifty after Maria returned to New York 333 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,440 from Ohio, Maxwell called on behalf of Epstein and threatened 334 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,240 Maria in order to keep her quiet, We're going to 335 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,279 burn all your art, and I just want you to 336 00:21:32,319 --> 00:21:35,240 know that anything you ever make will be burned. Your 337 00:21:35,279 --> 00:21:40,000 career is burned fifty one. Instead of letting Maxwell's word silencer, 338 00:21:40,319 --> 00:21:43,759 Maria reported her assault to the sixth Precinct of the 339 00:21:43,799 --> 00:21:47,720 New York City Police Department. The NYPD referred Maria to 340 00:21:47,799 --> 00:21:51,039 the FBI, and Maria followed their instructions and called the 341 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:54,400 FBI to make a report of the abuse. To the 342 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:58,119 extreme detriment of Maria and also countless other victims who 343 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,920 came after her, authorities ignored Maria's reporting efforts and took 344 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:06,119 no action. Fifty two. Maria also called her younger sister, Annie, 345 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:10,119 who was overseas studying at an educational seminar for high 346 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,519 performing high school students. During the call, Annie shared with 347 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,880 Maria that she too had been assaulted by Epstein and 348 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:21,599 Maxwell in New York and New Mexico fifty three. Frustrated 349 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,319 that the authorities did not appear to be taking action 350 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,440 in the hopes of exposing the crimes that Epstein and 351 00:22:27,559 --> 00:22:31,039 Maxwell were committing, Maria and Annie decided to share their 352 00:22:31,079 --> 00:22:35,720 stories with Vanity Fair magazine. Tragically, for Maria and Annie, 353 00:22:35,759 --> 00:22:39,440 Epstein threatened to intimidate the magazine, and Vanity Fair bent 354 00:22:39,519 --> 00:22:43,680 to those threats, ultimately publishing a profile of Epstein without 355 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:48,359 mentioning the sisters or their allegations. Fifty four. Once Epstein 356 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,559 and Maxwell learned that Maria had revealed their sexual abuse 357 00:22:51,599 --> 00:22:54,559 to Vanity Fair, they embarked on a campaign to destroy 358 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:59,200 Maria's reputation and art career. They called Maria's clients and 359 00:22:59,319 --> 00:23:02,160 other individuals wolves in the art community in New York 360 00:23:02,319 --> 00:23:05,799 and were ultimately successful in shutting her out of all 361 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:11,000 art related opportunities. Fifty five, Maxwell again called Maria to threatener, 362 00:23:11,279 --> 00:23:13,880 but this time threatened her life. I know you go 363 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,119 to the West Side Highway all the time. While you're 364 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,680 out there, just be really careful because there are a 365 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,799 lot of ways to die out there.
