Another woman has come forward to accuse Jeffrey Epstein of sexual abuse, claiming that he ‘forcefully raped’ her when she was 15 after a member of his staff ‘recruited’ her from her Upper East Side high school.
Jennifer Araoz, now 32, was 14 when she said she was approached outside her high school by the billionaire’s staff in 2001. The school was around eight blocks from Epstein’s Upper East Side mansion which was raided this weekend.
Araoz said that the woman who approached her told her she knew a kind man called Jeffrey Epstein who could help her and brought her to his townhouse to meet him after going to the school several times, offering to buy her soda.
The first few times she was there, the woman who had approached her was present, but eventually it was just them.
When they were alone, she said Epstein took her to a room in the house he called his ‘favorite’ which contained a massage table.
There, she said he forced her to strip down to her underwear and perform massages on him while he masturbated. He would give her $300 afterwards, she claimed.
These massages continued for several months until the fall of 2002 when, she says, he brought her onto the table and ‘forcefully raped’ her.
She ran out of the house afterwards and never went back again, she said.
