Jennifer Araoz, who claimed Jeffrey Epstein raped her when she was 15, filed a lawsuit naming Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell as his enabler, as well as three unnamed employees and Epstein's estate.
With this suit, Araoz is pursuing her wish for Epstein's alleged co-conspirators to be investigated in the wake of the millionaire sex offender's death by apparent suicide in jail. The lawsuit was filed in New York Supreme Court in Manhattan, and the three unnamed people who worked for Epstein and were described in the court papers as the"recruiter," the"secretary" and the"maid."The lawsuit comes after the Child Victims Act, a New York state law, went into effect at midnight Wednesday, allowing survivors of child sexual abuse from any time period to make civil claims, in spite of existing statutes of limitations, for a one-year period.
Giuffre sued Maxwell for defamation in 2015 after Maxwell denied Giuffre's claims in another lawsuit, but the case was settled prior to trial.
