More than a dozen women have come forward with sexual abuse allegations against Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced hedge fund manager who was arrested last Saturday on sex trafficking and sex trafficking conspiracy charges.
In the days following Epsteins arrest, more than four women have approached attorney David Boies with additional allegations against the disgraced financier, per the Miami Herald. At least 10 other women have approached other lawyers who have represented Epsteins alleged victims, including Palm Beach attorneys Jack Scarola and Bradley Edwards, according to Scarola. The people we are speaking to are underage victims in Florida and in New York. They are not individuals whose claims have previously been part of any law enforcement investigation, Scarola told the paper.
Epstein was arrested last Saturday at New Jerseys Teterboro Airport after flying in from Paris. According to the indictment, which was unsealed last Monday, Epstein is accused of sexually abusing dozens of girls as young as 14 at his Palm Beach and Manhattan homes between 2002 and 2005. FBI agents searching Epsteins lavish Upper East Side home also found hundreds, and perhaps thousands of images of young-looking women and girls in a safe in his home, though it is unclear whether all of the girls were underage at the time the photos were taken.
In addition to those who have come forward following Epsteins arrest, Jennifer Araoz, a 32-year-old makeup artist living in New York City, recently told NBC News that a female friend of Epsteins recruited her to come to the multi-millionaires home to give him massages in 2001 when she was 14 years old. Araoz says that Epstein paid her $300 to give him massages while she was nude or partially nude, and in 2002, he allegedly sexually assaulted her at his New York City home.

(15,144 posts)Gonna be a deluge soon. Interesting that there aren't any more recent allegations. Guy like that doesn't suddenly stop those particular proclivities. I guess his more recent victims are still young and scared.

(20,002 posts)Earlier today Christopher Dickey of Daily Beast was on a France24 show telling how a few days ago he found Epstein's expensive apartment in Paris. He asked one of the other tenants there if they ever saw Epstein take younger girls into his place. Yup, they did, but apparently didn't know what was going on so didn't report it.
