Jennifer Araoz filed a lawsuit against the Epstein Estate, alleging she was groomed and sexually assaulted by Jeffrey Epstein when she was a teenager. The lawsuit claims that Araoz was recruited outside her New York City high school by Epstein’s associates, who promised career opportunities and financial support. Over time, Epstein allegedly coerced her into repeated sexual encounters, culminating in a rape at his Manhattan townhouse when she was just 15 years old. Araoz contends that Epstein’s vast network of accomplices played an active role in enabling the abuse by fostering an environment of manipulation and control.
The lawsuit not only targets Epstein’s estate but also implicates other individuals and entities that Araoz claims facilitated his criminal activities. Seeking both justice and compensation, Araoz’s suit is part of a broader legal effort by Epstein’s survivors to hold those connected to his network accountable. The case underscores the alleged systemic nature of Epstein’s operations, highlighting the complicity of those who worked with him to sustain his predatory behavior.
