sexual gratification, but also that of several other wealthy and/or powerful individuals within
his social network to whom he trafficked these same underage girls and young women to.
Doe v. United States, “From between 1999 and 2007, Jeffrey Epstein sexually abused more
than thirty minor girls ... at his mansion in Palm Beach, Florida, and elsewhere in the United

persons to abuse the girls sexually. Epstein used paid employees to find and bring minor girls
to him. Epstein worked in concert with others to obtain minors not only for his own sexual
gratification, but also for the sexual gratification of others.” See Doe v. United States, 359 F.
7. In performing the acts set forth above, Epstein committed multiple torts
including, but not limited to, sexual assault, sexual battery, intentional infliction of emotional
distress and negligent infliction of emotional distress pursuant to New York common law.

8. The Estate of Jeffrey Epstein (the “Estate”), which is being presided over by
Defendants, includes a residence in New York, New York, that was occupied by Jeffrey Epstein
before his death in August of 2019. While the residence is currently listed for sale for
$88,000,000, it has not been sold and is still part and parcel of the Estate.
9. Upon information and belief, this Court has personal jurisdiction over the Estate
of Jeffrey Epstein pursuant to New York Civil Practice Law and Rules (“C.P.L.R.”) Sections
301 and 302, and venue is proper in this Court pursuant to CPLR § 503, because Defendant
EDWARD EPSTEIN is a resident of New York, and Defendants operate in New York, transact
business in New York, own, use or possess real property within New York and many of the acts
of sexual abuse referenced herein as part of Epstein’s nefarious plan and course of conduct

Act (“CVA”) which provides that a plaintiff, who was a child less than eighteen years of age
when a defendant committed unto them an act in violation of New York Penal Law Article 130,
shall have one year from August 14, 2019 to bring forth the previously time-barred claim
11. Indeed, the actions described herein constitute sexual offenses by Epstein under
New York Penal Law Article 130 and were committed against Plaintiffs Jane Doe X, XIII, XIV,
XVI and XVIII when they were children less than eighteen years of age, for which they suffered
physical, psychological and other injuries as a result. As such, their claims are, are the very

12. In addition to CPLR § 214-g, this action has also been timely filed pursuant to
CPLR § 215(8)(a) which provides that, “[w]henever it is shown that a criminal action against
the same defendant has been commenced with respect to the event or occurrence from which a
claim governed by this section arises [i.e. assault and battery], the plaintiff shall have at least
one year from the termination of the criminal action as defined in section 1.20 of the criminal
13. As it pertains to CPLR § 215(8)(a), a criminal action against Epstein with respect
to the same events or occurrences from which Plaintiffs’ claims arise, namely his sex trafficking
and/or sexual abuse of underage girls and young women, was terminated on August 29, 2019
shortly after Epstein committed suicide in the Metropolitan Correctional Center while awaiting
trial.
Plaintiffs’ claims herein is tolled in accord with the doctrine of equitable estoppel based on the
continuous and active deception, duress, fraud, threats of retaliation and other forms of
misconduct that Epstein and his co-conspirators used to silence his victims, including Plaintiffs,
as set forth below. At a minimum, this conduct by Epstein and his co-conspirators deprived
Plaintiffs of their legal right and opportunity to commence this lawsuit before Epstein’s death.

conspirators repeatedly intimidated his victims, including Plaintiffs, into silence by threatening
not only their lives and livelihoods, but the lives and livelihoods of their close family and
friends. Therefore, Epstein and his co-conspirators prevented Plaintiffs from commencing this
lawsuit before his death. By using threats in accompaniment with his wealth and power, Epstein

was able to escape punishment for his abhorrent brutal and perverse crimes against countless
underage girls and young women, including plaintiffs, for the duration of his life.
16. Plaintiffs intend to take full discovery of the Estate and all associates, family
members and/or friends associated to the same to determine who knew what and when.
17. At all material times herein mentioned, Epstein, and his associates, operated,
transacted business, owned, used, maintained and/or possessed real and other property,
equipment and apparatus within New York, which he utilized as the base of his operations for
his sexual exploitation of underage girls and young women, including Plaintiffs herein.
