1. Plaintiff Jane Doe alleges a violation of Florida Statutes §§ 772.103(3) (participation in
an enterprise through a criminal activity) and 772.103(4) (conspiracy to do so). The
following information describes both the § 772.103(3) claim and the § 772.103(4)
conspiracy claim, with the additional note that the conspiracy was between Defendant,
Jeffrey Epstein, Sarah Kellen, Nadia Marcinkova, and other persons whose identity is, at
this time, unknown to Jane Doe. Epstein, Kellen, Marcinkova and others all conspired
together to violate the provisions of § 772.103(3), doing so willfully and with full
knowledge of the criminal activities that were planned as part of the criminal enterprise.
For convenience in this statement, Florida Statutes §§ 772.103(3) and (4) will be referred
to as the "Florida Civil RICO provisions."
2. While others (including Kellen and Marcinkova) were involved in the plan, scheme, and
enterprise, the sole defendant alleged in this complaint at this time is defendant Jeffrey
Epstein. Epstein served as the leader and informal "C.E.O." of the criminal enterprise.
He also criminally sexually abused and prostituted Jane Doe and other minor girls who
were victims of the criminal enterprise. He also paid for Kellen and Marcinkova to be a
part of the enterprise and conspired with them to commit criminal acts of sexual abuse
and prostitution of minors. The basis for Epstein's liability is also described in Jane
Doe's complaint.
3. The other wrongdoers included Sarah Kellen and Nadia Marcinkova. (Jane Doe is
uncertain as to the precise spelling of their names and their full legal names.) They
assisted defendant Jeffrey Epstein in recruiting and procuring minor girls to satisfy
Epstein's criminal sexual purposes and for prostitution, as described in paragraphs 10
through18 and paragraphs 42 and 43 of the complaint and in parts 5 and 6 of this
statement below.
For example, they helped to arrange for minor girls to travel to
Epstein's West Palm Beach mansion to satisfy his sexual desires for minor girls. Kellen
and Marcinkova also conspired with Epstein to commit acts of sexual abuse and
prostitution with minor girls and aided and abetted Epstein in the abuse and prostitution.
Kellen and Marcinkova had full knowledge of the crimes of the enterprise; they knew full
well that the girls who were coming to Epstein's mansion were minors and that Epstein
was sexually abusing and prostituting these minors, some of whom were 14 or younger.
Kellen and Marcinkova willfully and knowingly participated in the activities of the
enterprise and intended to make the criminal activities of the enterprise succeed. Among
other things, Kellen helped arrange for recruiters of the minor girls. She also spoke
personally to the recruiters as well as to the minor girls who were victims of Epstein
sexual abuse. At Epstein's specific direction, Kellen spoke to the recruiters about
subjects such as finding more minor girls to satisfy Epstein's criminal sexual appetite.

Kellen also served as Epstein's scheduler, scheduling appointments for the minor girls to
ostensibly do "work" when in fact (as she well knew) she was scheduling them to be
sexually abused and prostituted by Epstein.
Kellen thus procured minor girls for
prostitution and caused them to be prostituted. Marcinkova also directly participated in
the sexual abuse of the minor girls by participating in unlawful sexual activities and
prostitution with the girls. Both Kellen and Marcinkova assisted Epstein in attempting to
keep Epstein's criminal sexual abuse unknown to law enforcement and other authorities
and in discouraging the minor girls from reporting the crimes to law enforcement and
other authorities.
4. The names of all of the victims are unknown to the plaintiff at this time. However, they
include Jane Doe herself as well as the victims in E.W., Plaintiff vs. Jeffrey Epstein,
Defendant, filed in the 15th Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County, Florida
bearing case number 50 2008 CA 028058 XXXXMB AD and L.M., Plaintiff vs. Jeffrey
Epstein, Defendant, filed in the 15th Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County,
Florida bearing case number 50 2008 CA 028051 XXXX MB AD.
A list of
approximately 30 such minor female victims has previously been provided by the U.S.
Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida to Epstein (but not to Jane Doe).
The injuries to those victims resulted from criminal sexual activity and prostitution with
Epstein and Marcinkova. The injuries they suffered are like those suffered by Jane Doe
in this action, as described in paragraph 25 of her complaint. For example, Jane Doe and
the other victims suffered grave emotional distress and financial injury from being forced
to engage in unlawful sexual activities with him to which, as minors, they could not
lawfully consent. They also suffered distress and financial injury from being prostituted
by him.
5. The pattern of racketeering and/or criminal activity is also described in paragraphs 10
through 18 and 42 and 43 of the complaint, which Jane Doe incorporates by reference
into this statement here and at all other points in the statement. The criminal activity
included Epstein using paid employees and underlings (including Kellen and
Marcinkova) to repeatedly find, procure, and bring to him minor girls in order for Epstein
to solicit, induce, coerce, entice, compel or force these minor girls to engage in unlawful
sexual activity and acts of prostitution.
a. The criminal activity and specific statutes violated are listed in the complaint and
include, but are not necessarily limited to: (i) procuring for prostitution, or causing to
be prostituted, minors, in violation of Florida Statutes Chapter 796; (ii) acts of battery
in violation of Florida Statutes Chapter 784; (iii) commercial sexual exploitation of a
child in violation of Florida Statues § 827.071; and (iv) tampering with a witness in
violation of Florida Statutes § 914.22. The criminal activities also include violations
of federal criminal statutes, including sexual trafficking of children, by fraud, in
violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1591, use of a means of interstate commerce to entice a
minor to commit prostitution, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2422, as well as wire fraud,
in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1343.
b. The dates of the events are not fully known to Jane Doe at this time. However, at a

minimum, Epstein obtained minor girls (including Jane Doe) for sexual purposes of
the period of approximately June 2002 through November 2005. Epstein could better
determine than Jane Doe the precise dates of his abuse of her by reviewing his
schedule for this period of time and looking for notations of days on which she
performed "work" for him. Epstein has pled guilty to two such criminal offenses
against minor girls, although the total number of indictable or chargeable offenses
would easily number more than 100. On each of these occasions, as described in the
complaint, Epstein would have his underlings (including Kellen) procure a minor girl
to satisfy his sexual desires and then would satisfy his sexual desires through criminal
sexual contact and conduct with the minor girls.
Epstein would also watch
Marcinkova sexually abuse the minor girls to satisfy his sexual desires. Epstein had a
particular interest in minor girls, including girls as young as 14 or younger. On
occasion, he would turn away girls who were 18 or over because of his perverse and
unlawful sexual interest in young girls. Epstein recruited and paid the girls for the
sexual activities.
In doing so, he procured for prostitution, and caused to be
prostituted, many young girls under the age of 18, in violation of (among other
statutes) Florida Statute § 796.03. The pattern of criminal and unlawful sexual
activity extended from at least June 2002 through November 2005.
Epstein
committed unlawful sexual abuse against Jane Doe at least 20 times between
February 2003 to June 2005 while she was a minor. Other criminal activities
involving tampering with and harassing witnesses occurred from June 2002 through
early 2008 (and perhaps later).
c. On many of the occasions, the exact dates of which are not as yet determined by the
Jane Doe, Epstein would represent that he was interested in a "massage" or legitimate
"work" when in fact he was interested in unlawful sexual activity with the minor
girls, including fondling the girls, masturbating in their presence, and vaginally
penetrating them or causing them to be penetrated. Epstein and others acting under
his direction falsely represented to the minor girls that he was interested in a
"massage" or "work" when in fact he was interested in procuring the girls for
unlawful sexual activity and acts of prostitution. Epstein and others acting under his
direction used means of interstate communications to make these false
representations, including cellular telephones.
d. Epstein has pled guilty to two Florida criminal offenses against minor girls, as alleged
in paragraph 19 of the complaint.
e. The relationship of the criminal activity to the enterprise is also described in
paragraphs 10 through 18 and 42 to 43 of the complaint. The Florida offenses to
which Epstein pled guilty are but a few of the many instances of his plan succeeding.
The acts are all related to each other, are arranged, and are part of common plan for
these reasons: they have the same intent (to gratify Epstein's unlawful sexual interest
in minor girls); the same results (the unlawful sexual abuse and prostitution of minor
girls); the same accomplices (including Kellen and frequently Marcinkova); the same
victims (Jane Doe was herself victimized more than 20 times, and many other girls
were also victimized repeatedly); the same means (there was a standard payment of

several hundred dollars for going to the mansion, and standard escalation feature
depending on the nature of the sexual acts that Epstein performed); and the same
methods of commission (Epstein obtained young, thin, and attractive girls to satisfy
his sexual desires while they were economically disadvantaged and lacked a stable
family life and therefore, he perceived, would be interested in obtaining money and
unlikely to report his crimes to law enforcement). The acts were also interrelated by
common characteristics, namely the identity of the perpetrator (Epstein and often
Marcinkova) and the common results of his crimes (sexual abuse and acts of
prostitution with minor girls). The acts also constituted a clear pattern of criminal
activity.
6. The criminal acts of Epstein occurred repeatedly over a substantial period of time and
were not isolated events. In particular, Epstein committed repeated (more than 20)
criminal acts of sexual abuse against Jane Doe from approximately February 2003 to
June 2005.
He committed similar criminal acts of unlawful sexual activity and
prostitution against other minor girls for a period of time exceeding more than three
years, from approximately June 2002 through November 2005. The acts occurred
frequently during this time, easily exceeding more than 100 instances of criminal sexual
abuse. (Jane Doe does not know the exact number of acts, but intends to determine this
during the discovery process. It is possible that the total number of acts could be several
hundred.) The acts were part of Epstein's regular way of doing business (e.g., obtaining
sexual gratification) during this period of time. Epstein and others acting at his direction
(including Kellen) made hundreds of telephone calls in furtherance of these illegal
activities. The sexual acts against minors temporarily ceased in approximately November
2005 when Epstein learned that law enforcement authorities were investigating his
crimes. If, however, Epstein is given the opportunity to commit similar acts in the future
upon his release from jail, he may continue to satisfy his sexual desires for minor girls. In
addition, Epstein committed criminal acts of tampering with witnesses in violation of
Florida Statutes § 914.22. For example, Epstein paid the minor girls money not only with
the intent to prostitute them but also with the specific intent of causing the minor girls not
to communicate to law enforcement officers information about the sexual abuse
committed against them. Epstein has made bigger payments to the minor girls depending
on the degree of force he used towards them, making larger payments when he was more
concerned about the fact they might report the crimes committed against them. These
payments pose a continuing threat of misconduct, as they may interfere with the ability of
law enforcement to discover and prosecute all of Epstein's crimes. They may likewise
interfere with the ability of Jane Doe to discover all of the information supporting her
claim.
Epstein also selected impoverished girls for his crimes, believing that the
payments would be more effective in obtaining their silence and that their economic
circumstances might make them less likely to report to law enforcement. If all else
failed, after having unlawful sex with the minor girls, Epstein would tell them not to tell
anyone about their unlawful encounter or "bad things" would happen. In addition, since
November 2005 and through the early part of 2008 (and perhaps later), Epstein and
others acting at his direction have attempted to discourage the victims of his crimes from
reporting his crimes and cooperating with law enforcement. For example, persons acting
at the direction of Epstein have aggressively attempted to "interview" the victims or to

"tail" the victims in their cars. They also harassed a victim shortly before she was to
testify at a grand jury investigating Epstein. He has also paid for legal representation for
certain girls and purchased gifts for some of the minor girls to dissuade them from
cooperating with law enforcement. These efforts have been made not for legitimate
investigative reasons but rather for the purpose of discouraging the victims from
cooperating with law enforcement (and, in at least one case, the investigating grand jury)
and from filing civil lawsuits to vindicate their rights.
7. The enterprise is also described in paragraphs 10 through 18 and 42 and 43 of the
complaint, which allegations Jane Doe expressly incorporates into this statement as part
of the description of the enterprise. The enterprise included, at a minimum, a group of
individuals associated in fact to assist Epstein in recruiting and procuring minor girls and
obtaining criminal gratification of his illegal sexual interest in minor girls.
a. The persons constituting the enterprise included a group of individuals associated in
fact. These individuals include Epstein, Sarah Kellen and Nadia Marcinkova, as well
as other persons whose names Jane Doe intends to identify during the discovery
phase of this case.
b. The criminal enterprise had a definite structure, although all the details of that
structure are not currently know to Jane Doe. Through discovery, Jane Doe intends to
ascertain the precise structure of the enterprise that enabled Epstein to commit sexual
crimes against her. While Jane Doe does not currently know all of the details of the
structure, she does know that the enterprise operated together on a continuing basis,
with largely the same personnel for a common purpose. The shared purpose of the
enterprise was to satisfy Epstein's illegal interest in having sexual activities with
minor girls. The enterprise was not a mere informal conspiracy, but had a definite
hierarchical structure. Epstein served informally but effectively as the leader, C.E.O.
or "boss" of this organization, directing his underlings how to recruit and procure
young girls for his sexual activities and when to bring the girls to his mansion.
Epstein's key "lieutenant" in the organization was Kellen, who served as both his
scheduler and a recruiter/procurer of the girls. This was an important function, as the
recruiting was necessary to satisfy Epstein's desire to abuse a large number of
different minor girls with different (albeit similar) physical attributes and the
scheduling was necessary to insure that the minor girls would be brought to Epstein's
mansion to be sexually abused and prostituted at a time when Epstein was there (but
not at the same time, when they might learn of other girls' identities and possibly
become emboldened to report his activities to law enforcement.) Scheduling was also
necessary to ensure secrecy, so that as few persons as possible were aware that minor
girls were coming to Epstein's mansion. Kellen also needed (directly or indirectly) to
make transportation arrangements for many of the girls, as they were often too young
to drive themselves to and from the mansion. Marcinkova also served as a recruiter
and helped Epstein satisfy his criminal sexual desires by, on occasion, directly
participating in sexual abuse and prostitution of the minor girls. Epstein, Kellen, and
Marcinkova all took steps to conceal the existence of the enterprise and to discourage
the girls from reporting the sexual abuse and prostitution to law enforcement or other

authority figures. Epstein also used otherwise-legitimate business activities to help
further the purpose of the criminal enterprise. These apparently legitimate activities
provided "cover" for Epstein and his associates to commit the crimes. Epstein also
maintained the appearance of an upstanding and prominent banker and investor to
discourage the minor girls from reporting the abuse to law enforcement.
By
projecting an image of financial power (and, relatedly, strong political connections to
prominent politicians and current and former government officials and personal
connections to prominent scientists), Epstein hoped to discourage the minor girls
from reporting what he was doing to them by making it appear that they would not be
believed. These business activities helped Epstein secure the financial resources to
commit the crimes against the minor girls and to pay for prostituting them. For
example, the activities paid for maintaining the mansion where the girls were abused
and paid for the cellular telephones and other means of communications that were
used to recruit and procure the girls. The business activities also helped to provide
the funds to pay Kellen and Marcinkova large sums of money to participate in the
illegal enterprise and make payments to the girls for performing sexual acts. In sum,
Epstein and the persons under his direction associated in fact and functioned as a
continuing unit. This enterprise produced a course of conduct that lead to a pattern of
criminal activity involving more than 100 instances of sexual abuse and prostitution
of minor girls. This enterprise was the vehicle for Epstein to commit his crimes
against Jane Doe and other minor girls and operated on a continuing basis from June
2002 to November 2005 (and, in regard to witness tampering and harassment, through
at least early 2008). The enterprise enabled Epstein to sexually abuse and prostitute
Jane Doe in particular on more than 20 occasions from February 2003 through June
2005.
c. Epstein served as the informal but effective leader or "C.E.O." of the enterprise.
d. Epstein was associated with the enterprise as its informal but effective leader or
"C.E.O."
e. Epstein directed the affairs of the enterprise and the others in the enterprise responded
to his commands.
f. Based on the facts that she currently possesses, Jane Doe specifically alleges and
intends to prove both that (i) Epstein was an individual separate from the enterprise
and (ii) the defendant was a member of the enterprise, namely that he served as the
effective leader of the enterprise. With regard to point (i), the illegal enterprise had a
definite structure and operational function apart from Epstein.
The structure is
described in greater detail in this statement in answer 5.b above. With regard to point
(ii), the defendant was a member of the enterprise and served to execute many of the
decisions and activities of the enterprise and to command the execution of others.
Epstein personally engaged in sexual abuse of minor girls, including Jane Doe.
Epstein also directed others to engage in sexual abuse of minor girls, including
Marcinkova. Epstein also procured girls for prostitution and caused these girls to be
prostituted. Epstein also served as the leader of the enterprise.

g. Epstein was a direct perpetrator of the racketeering activity. In particular, Epstein
engaged in criminal acts of sexual abuse and prostitution with minor girls, as well as
procuring girls for prostitution. He also directed others (i.e., Marcinkova) to engage
in such criminal acts and served as the leader of the criminal enterprise.
8. The relationship between the pattern of criminal activity and the enterprise is not
completely known to Jane Doe at this time.
Through discovery, she intends to
understand the relationship more fully. At this time, however, as described in addition in
paragraphs 10 through 18 and 42 through 43 of the complaint and parts 5, 6 and 7 in this
statement, there was a criminal entity separate and apart from the pattern of activity in
which it engaged. The pattern of criminal activity was the series of crimes committed by
Epstein and others, and includes the specific crimes identified in part 5.a. above. These
offenses were closely related and formed a clear pattern, as described in part 5.b above.
These acts included acts of sexual abuse and procuring the prostitution of minors by
Epstein personally and by Marcinkova acting at Epstein's direction.
In contrast, the
enterprise was the group of persons who associated together for the common purpose of
engaging in the criminal course of conduct described at greater length elsewhere in this
statement, including part 5.e above. The group of persons included Epstein, Kellen, and
Marcinkova and others whose identity is, at this time, unknown to Jane Doe.
9. In this part of the statement, Jane Doe will provide a description of the relationship
between the otherwise-lawful activities of the enterprise and the criminal activities of the
enterprise. The lawful and unlawful activities of the enterprise have been described in
addition in paragraphs 10 through 18 and 42 through 43 of the complaint and previous
answers found in parts 5, 6 and 7 above (which Jane Doe expressly incorporates into her
answer here).
The usual and daily activities of the criminal enterprise included
scheduling meetings, activities, and other events for Epstein — including scheduling
"private time" in his mansion for Epstein to commit sexual crimes against minor girls.
Kellen served as Epstein's scheduler, scheduling both otherwise-lawful activities to
provide "cover" for Epstein as well as the illegal sexual activities. The exact frequency
with which the sexual crimes took place varied and is not known, at this time, to Jane
Doe. However, when Epstein was in West Pahn Beach, it often occurred on a daily basis
(and, in some instances, took place on several times during a single day). The scheduling
was designed to secure a private place in Epstein's mansion when few other persons
would be present at the mansion, so as to reduce the chance of detection of Epstein's
sexual abuse and prostitution as well as to make it more difficult for the minor girls to
report his actions to law enforcement or other authorities. The usual activities of the
enterprise also included maintaining the mansion and securing means of communication
(i.e., cellular telephones) to recruit minor girls and procure them for prostitution. The
activities further included arranging transportation for the girls to and from the mansion if
it was necessary. The enterprise also attempted to make Epstein appear to be an
upstanding and law-abiding member of community and a successful businessperson, for
reasons described in paragraph 6.b above. The enterprise served as the usual way in
which Epstein would obtain sexual gratification.

10. Through his criminal enterprise, Epstein received perverse and unlawful sexual
gratification from sexually abusing minor girls and engaging in acts of prostitution with
them.
He also received perverse sexual gratification from directing others (e.g.,
Marcinkova) to sexually abuse and prostitute minor girls.
11. While Jane Doe's civil action alleges violations of the Florida Civil RICO statute rather
than violations of the federal civil RICO statute, it should be noted that means of
interstate communications were used to perpetrate the crimes against minor girls
(including Jane Doe), including cellular and other telephones that Epstein used, or caused
to be used, to arrange his illegal sexual activities and to recruit additional minor girls to
participate in these activities. Through his recruitment and procuring of young girls,
Epstein's activities directly affected interstate commerce.
12. Based on the information currently known to her, Jane Doe does not allege that Epstein,
who is a billionaire banker, used the enterprise to personally make a financial profit or to
obtain the collection of an unlawful debt. Epstein did, however, make payments to and
prostitute the minor girls for the sexual gratification that he obtained from them and to
discourage them from reporting his crimes to law enforcement and other authorities.
13. Based on the information currently known to her, Jane Doe does not allege that Epstein,
who is a billionaire banker, used the enterprise to obtain or maintain control of a business
enterprise or real property. Epstein did, however, use his West Palm Beach mansion to
perpetrate the crimes against the then-minor girls. He also used his financial success to
provide "cover" for his crimes, as described in parts 5.a and 5.b above.
14. The criminal enterprise is described in paragraphs 10 through 18 and paragraphs 42 and
43 of the complaint and part 6 of this statement above, which description Jane Doe
incorporates here.
a. The enterprise including persons unknown to Jane Doe, but at least included Epstein
and his paid assistants Sarah Kellen and Nadia Marcinkova.
b. Under the direction of Epstein, Kellen, Marcinkova and others whose names are
unknown to Jane Doe arranged for minor girls to come to Epstein's mansion where he
could sexual abuse them and prostitute them to satisfy his perverse sexual desires.
Kellen and Marcinkova were responsible for recruiting the girls and procuring them
for prostitution. Kellen was also responsible for scheduling a time when both Epstein
and the minor girl could meet together at Epstein's mansion for the sexual abuse and
for making travel arrangements (if necessary) for the girls. Kellen was also
responsible for ensuring the privacy of the room in Epstein's mansion where Epstein
would sexually abuse the girls.
Marcinkova would participate in abusing and
prostituting the girls for Epstein's sexual gratification. Kellen and Marcinkova
received payments and other forms of compensation from Epstein for performing
these illegal activities and for participating in the enterprise. Epstein, Kellen, and
Marcinkova also all took steps to discourage the girls from reporting these crimes to
law enforcement, including making cash payments to the girls.

c. As a result of the criminal enterprise, Jane Doe (then a minor) suffered criminal
sexual abuse at the hands of Epstein. As alleged in greater detail in the complaint,
this abuse lead to significant past and future physical injury, pain and suffering,
emotional
distress,
psychological
trauma,
mental
anguish,
humiliation,
embarrassment, loss of self-esteem, loss of dignity, invasion of privacy, and other
damages, including consequential damages from Epstein controlling, manipulating
and coercing her into a perverse and unconventional way of life for a minor. In
addition, the time involved in the abuse created lost opportunities to pursue other
activities (including economic activities) and lead to past and future financial and
proprietary losses to Jane Doe, as well as the need for psychiatric services. Jane Doe
has also suffered a loss of income, a loss of capacity to earn income in the future, and
a loss of the capacity to enjoy life. It has also lead to the need to file this civil suit,
with consequent attorney's fees.
All of these damages were caused by, and
proximately caused by, the criminal enterprise and its criminal acts. All of these
injuries were inflicted directly on Jane Doe and occurred by reason of the criminal
acts of the enterprise, including the acts of sexual abuse by Epstein.
d. The defendant "person" in the Florida Civil RICO action is, at this time, only
defendant Epstein. Defendant Epstein is associated with a criminal enterprise that
conducted and participated, both directly and indirectly, in a pattern of criminal
activity in violation of both Florida and federal criminal law. The exact relationship
between Epstein and the criminal enterprise is described in greater detail in parts 5
and 6 above.
15. The criminal conspiracy involving the enterprise is described in paragraphs 10 through 18
and 42 through 43 of the complaint as well as parts 5, 6, and 7 above. Jane Doe expressly
incorporates that information into her statement here. The conspiracy was formed of
Epstein, Kellen, Marcinkova, and others, who agreed to arrange for illegal sexual
gratification by Epstein through the sexual abuse and prostitution of minor girls both by
Epstein personally and by others (i.e., Marcinkova) while he watched. The object and
substance of the conspiracy was to obtain minor girls for Epstein so that he could satisfy
his perverse sexual interest in minor girls, to recruit minor girls to be abused and
prostituted for his gratification, to keep the existence of the sexual abuse from being
learned by law enforcement and other authorities, and to discourage the victims from
reporting the abuse to authorities. The conspiracy started in approximately June 2002 in
West Palm Beach, Florida, and other locations.
The sexual abuse of the minor girls
appears to have, at least temporarily, ceased in approximately 2005. The conspiracy
extended beyond November 2005 to early 2008 (and perhaps later) in its efforts to keep
the criminal conspiracy unknown, as described in part 6 and 7.b above. The conspiracy
committed numerous overt acts. For example, Kellen and Marcinkova arranged for
minor girls to be brought to Epstein's West Palm Beach mansion so that he could
sexually abuse the girls and obtain sexual gratification. Epstein sexually abused minor
girls at his mansion and made payments to them and otherwise prostituted them there.

16. Jane Doe suffered injuries, including financial and proprietary injuries, as described in
part 14.0 above.
17. The enterprise injured Jane Doe and the other minor girls by enabling Epstein to sexually
abuse and prostitute the girls.
18. Defendant Epstein is liable for all the damages for his criminal activity and the activity of
his criminal enterprise. (If additional defendants are added to the complaint, these other
defendants may also be jointly and severable liable for the damages.) The damages for
which Epstein is liable include compensatory damages (including damages for emotional
distress as well as damages for financial and proprietary losses), attorney's fees, and such
further relief as the Court deems just and proper. The amount of these damages is in
excess of $50,000,000. These damages are trebled by operation of Florida Statutes
772.104. Jane Doe is aware of the provision in Florida Statutes 772.104(3) ("In no event
shall punitive damages be awarded under this section"), but is nonetheless entitled to
punitive damages by virtue of her complaint. She is seeking punitive damages for
Epstein's outrageous and egregious conduct and crimes under other provisions of law in
this lawsuit.
19. All of the above answers must be read in light of the complaint that has been filed in this
