Before his apparent suicide in Manhattan’s Metropolitan Correctional Center, 66-year-old Epstein pleaded not guilty to federal sex-trafficking charges for allegedly enlisting “a constant stream of underage girls” to give him massages. Prosecutors believe Epstein molested his victims, frequently shuttling them between his various homes and paying them hundreds of dollars to bring in more minors.
Thursday’s complaint alleges that in 2004 a “recruiter” — referred to as “Sue Roe” in the filing because, Bloom’s release explains, her identity remains uncertain and “it is likely that she was a victim too” — approached the two plaintiffs at the New York City restaurant where they worked. According to the Guardian, the lawsuit states that they were aspiring models and “struggling financially.
