Jeffrey Epstein Accuser Sues Psychiatrist Henry Jarecki For Allegedly Making Her A ‘Sex Slave’
A woman, whose identity remains unknown, claims that "wealthy" and "well-connected" psychiatrist Henry Jarecki allegedly sexually abused her for years.
The woman, referred to as Jane Doe 11, claimed that Jarecki began controlling and continuously raping her after convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein offered her the mental health referral, per a complaint filed in a Manhattan court Monday.
Doe reportedly visited the psychiatrist to seek treatment for depression, with Epstein reportedly claiming he was the "best doctor in New York City."
The unnamed woman alleged the wealthy psychiatrist was Epstein's "go-to" who would often treat his victims for depression and disclosed private medical details with him. In turn, Jarecki's lawyer has dismissed the allegations, claiming they're "entirely false and baseless."
Reports say the 91-year-old shrink was once close friends with the convicted felon Epstein, and even protected the late sex offender from law enforcement, per Reuters.
"The allegations will be shown to be entirely false and baseless," Jarecki's lawyer Sarita Kedia stated. "Dr. Jarecki never engaged in any abusive conduct with the complainant or any other person."
Doe, who is being described as a one-time model, has filed a civil lawsuit seeking unspecified compensation and punitive damages for alleged sexual battery, emotional distress, and for the violation of the Federal Trafficking Victims Protection Act, per the news outlet.
The complaint also states that Doe arrived in the U.S. back in 2010 with the intention of getting her visa and working as a model. A fellow model then introduced her to Epstein claiming he could help her career.
According to reports, Jeffrey Epstein killed himself while behind bars in a Manhattan jail cell pending trial on sex trafficking charges in August 2019. He was 66.
Ghislaine Maxwell conspired with the 66-year-old, who was also her ex-boyfriend, and is now set to serve a 20 year prison sentence.
Doe's lawyer Brad Edwards, who also represents more than 200 of Epstein's accusers, declined to give extensive details but stated "We want other survivors to know that it is safe to come forward," per 'Reuters'.
