Epstein Trafficked Teenage Victim to ‘Prominent American Politicians and World Leaders’ to Extort Them, She Claims
The late financier also made the girl detail her sexual encounters with the men so he 'potentially blackmail them,' according to court records
The late financier Jeffrey Epstein trafficked one of his underage sex abuse victims to powerful men around the globe — and made her detail the romps for potential extortion purposes, according to court papers unsealed Thursday.
The sordid scheme involved "numerous prominent American politicians, powerful business executives, foreign presidents, a well-known Prime Minister, and other world leaders," the 2014 document alleged.
Epstein "required" the girl, identified only as Jane Doe #3, "to describe the events that she had with these men so that he could potentially blackmail them," it said.
It also alleged that former Epstein girlfriend and socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, the youngest child of late British media mogul Robert Maxwell, "had direct connections to other powerful individuals with whom she could connect Epstein."
The 10-page document was initially filed in 2014 as part of a claim brought under the federal Crime Victims’ Rights Act in Florida.
That case challenged a 2008 plea bargain in which Epstein secretly avoided federal charges and instead pleaded guilty to two counts of soliciting prostitution, including from a minor.

Epstein received an 18-month jail sentence in that case.
In 2019, he was charged with federal child sex trafficking charges in New York but he died by suicide while locked up to await trial.
The court filing was released Thursday amid a massive document dump ordered by a federal judge in Manhattan in connection with a settled civil suit filed against Mawell by Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre.
Maxwell was convicted of recruiting victims for Epstein and is serving a 20-year prison sentence.
