Second Lawsuit Filed Against Epstein
Posted: Friday, February 29th, 2008 at 11:54 am
A second multi-million dollar lawsuit has been filed against the fifty five year old Manhattan money manager, Jeffrey Epstein, with a young woman claiming that Epstein sexually assaulted her at his Palm Beach mansion when she was a teenager.
The most recent lawsuit is for fifty million dollars, and was filed earlier this week. This is the second lawsuit in as many weeks containing such allegations. It is claimed that the incident occurred in 2004 or 2005, when the girl was around sixteen years of age.
Jeffrey Herman, a lawyer that deals in sexual abuse cases, stated: “When they crossed this bridge, these girls had no idea what was in store for them. When they returned they came back without their innocence, without their youth. Their youth was lost on that side of the island. For them, this really is a bridge of tears.”
A lawyer working for Epstein responded by stating: “This is attorney Herman’s second 50-million-dollar lawsuit against Mr. Epstein. It is an outrageous, defamatory, copycat of the first. Both complaints are full of lies. Indeed, Mr. Herman’s first lawsuit was filed without the plaintiff’s knowledge and over her objection. Mr. Herman is now exposed to a contempt sanction.
