By LARRY KELLER Palm Beach Post Staff Writer WEST PALM BEACH — A former Palm Beach Community College student who police say procured underage girls to give Jeffrey Epstein sexual massages at his Palm Beach mansion, and Epsteii’s personal assis- tant have been sued along with Epstein over their alleged conduct. The girl behind the lawsuit was 14 years old when she contends he engaged in sexual conduct with her after she went to his water front home in 2005 to give him a massage. Her lawsuit, filed under the name Jane Doe, seeks unspecified damages from Epstein for’ sexual assault and intentional infliction of emotional distress. She also sued Epstein, Haley Robson of Loxahatchee and Sarah Kellen of New York City on grounds of conspiracy and civil rack eteering. “We just want a full measure of justice for this girl,” said her attorney, Ted Leopold. Robson, who attended Palm Beach Com- munity College, was paid by Epstein to bring girls to his mansion for massages and more,’ according to Palm Beach police. “I'm like a Heidi Fleiss,” they said she told them.
