Prosecutors accused Epstein of arranging for girls to perform nude"massages" and other sex acts, and paying some girls to recruit others, from at least 2002 to 2005.
“The fact that I will never have a chance to face my predator in court eats away at my soul,” accuser Jennifer Araoz said during a 2-1/2 hour hearing before U.S. District Judge Richard Berman, who let the women testify despite the fact that Epstein’s death meant he would never face a trial.
One after another, the accusers detailed what they said were Epstein’s actions against them years ago when they were teenagers. In all, 16 women testified, including six who did so without giving their names, and lawyers read statements from seven other women. Ransome implored prosecutors to hold Epstein’sco-conspirators responsible, telling them, “Please, please finish what you started. We all know he did not act alone.”
