Epstein Accuser Sues Henry Jarecki, Claims 'Sex Slave' Allegation
A former model and Jeffrey Epstein accuser has filed a lawsuit against psychiatrist Henry Jarecki, alleging severe abuse under the guise of medical treatment. The lawsuit, lodged in federal court in New York, accuses Jarecki of a series of horrific crimes that span several years.
According to the lawsuit, Jarecki, instead of treating the woman for depression as she was referred to him by Jeffrey Epstein to do, allegedly raped her and manipulated her into becoming his "modern-day sex slave" (Fox News; New York Post). The accuser, known in the lawsuit as Jane Doe 11, claims Jarecki coerced her into entering a commercial relationship and forced her into repeated rapes and sex trafficking.
The lawsuit alleges that Jarecki went to great lengths to control Jane Doe 11, including coercing her into having threesomes and sex with other men (Fox News). He allegedly threatened her immigration status and work opportunities, leveraging his knowledge of her financial and immigration vulnerabilities to manipulate and control her.
In addition to the control over her personal and professional life, the lawsuit claims Jarecki moved Jane Doe 11 into an apartment he owned, where she was monitored around the clock. It is further alleged that he set up a system where her rent would be covered by engaging in sex acts. Jane Doe 11 alleges she was raped dozens of times by Jarecki between 2011 and 2014 (New York Post).
Moreover, the suit asserts that Jarecki trafficked her to a private island in the Caribbean for further abuse. She also claims that he punished her for minor infractions, such as not answering his landline calls or having her lights on after 10 p.m., and insisted she have threesomes in front of his wife (Fox News; New York Post).
Employment and Visa Threats
Jane Doe 11 claims that while she needed to continue working to meet visa requirements and pay lawyers, Jarecki allegedly ordered her to turn down job opportunities. He allegedly threatened to have her visa revoked, send her back to Epstein, and end her career if she didn't comply with his demands (New York Post).
Legal Pursuit
Henry Jarecki, a longtime Yale University professor, has denied the allegations through his lawyer, Sarita Kedia, who described the accusations as "entirely false and baseless" (Fox News). The lawsuit, filed in New York federal court, seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages for sexual battery, emotional distress, and violations of the federal Trafficking Victims Protection Act (New York Post).
Jane Doe 11's claims are particularly poignant in light of her previous abuse by Jeffrey Epstein, who died in federal custody in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges (New York Post). The lawsuit underlines that Jarecki's control and abuse of Jane Doe 11 began when she sought help for the depression caused by Epstein's sexual abuse.
Ongoing Plight
The lawsuit reveals a deeply disturbing pattern of abuse and control allegedly exercised by Jarecki over a vulnerable victim referred to him by Jeffrey Epstein. Jane Doe 11's allegations offer a chilling glimpse into the exploitation and manipulation she endured and underscore the ongoing impact of Epstein's sprawling web of abuse.
This case continues to develop, and its outcome could have significant implications for how such cases are prosecuted in the future. The pursuit of justice for Jane Doe 11 and other victims is critical in combating and addressing such grave abuses of power and trust in the future.
