A woman has sued Jeffrey Epstein’s estate and his “madam,” Ghislaine Maxwell, along with three staff members, saying Epstein raped her when she was 15 and that they helped facilitate the alleged crime.

Jennifer Araoz was in high school when she was repeatedly sexually assaulted by Epstein, according to the lawsuit, which was filed in the Supreme Court of the state of New York. The assaults allegedly started when she was 14.
