Epstein accuser claims famous New York psychiatrist raped and abused her

A woman claiming to be a victim of Jeffrey Epstein filed a lawsuit Monday against Henry Jarecki, a famed psychiatrist who she claims raped and sexually assaulted her after Epstein sent her to him for psychiatric treatment.

The civil lawsuit filed by the Manhattan woman in federal court says the 91-year-old was “close friends with Epstein,” a convicted pedophile who was found dead in his Brooklyn jail cell in 2019.

Epstein also allegedly sent other young women to Jarecki to “treat” them in confidence. In return, the psychiatrist shielded Epstein from prosecution, prescribed the women powerful medications and discussed their cases with Epstein, according to the lawsuit. It also alleges that Jarecki himself used his friendship with Epstein to procure women whom he sexually abused. Wall Street Journal reported.

“Jarecki was also aware that the women Epstein sent were under his control and that Jarecki himself could attempt to sexually abuse them without risk of being reported,” the lawsuit states.

“When Jarecki was older, he had frequent and depraved sexual desires,” the lawsuit continues. The psychiatrist showed the woman “pills that he said were testosterone pills that kept his sex drive at the level of a 25-year-old.”

“As Jane Doe 11 showed increasing signs of depression and stress, Jarecki increased his sexual torture and control over her,” the lawsuit states.

Jarecki was listed in Epstein’s now publicly available “Black Book” and in the flight logs of Epstein’s private planes, but his dealings with the convicted felon had not been made public until now.

Jarecki’s lawyer Sarita Kedia described the allegations as “completely false and unfounded.”

“At no time did Dr Jarecki behave in an abusive manner towards the complainant or any other person,” she said.

In addition to being a long-time member of Yale University and winner of the Pardes Humanitarian Prize in Mental Health, Jarecki made a fortune as a commodities trader and entrepreneur. He ran and sold several investment firms from the 1970s to the 1990s. He was also chairman of Moviefone, which he co-founded with one of his sons. In 1999, he sold the company to AOL for $388 million in stock.

According to her lawsuit against Jarecki, the unnamed woman came to the United States through a modeling agency in 2010. She was not allowed to model legally until she received a work visa. Another model introduced her to Epstein, who was known at the time as a wealthy philanthropist who helped models with their immigration problems.

The woman met Epstein in his New York mansion. He is said to have promised to launch her modeling career and also offered to finance her studies. However, she soon became the target of the disgraced New York wealth manager, who began to sexually abuse her. When she began to have mental health problems, Epstein is said to have arranged a meeting with Jarecki in his house for her to receive “treatment.”

Instead of helping her, the lawsuit says, Jarecki gave her an expensive gift and showed her around his house. When they reached his bedroom, Jarecki, who was 80 at the time, raped her.

The woman told Epstein what had happened, but he allegedly told her that she would have to deal with it and that he had made plans for her to continue meeting with Jarecki.

According to the lawsuit, the woman said Jarecki held her captive in a Gramercy Park apartment, gave her pills and controlled every aspect of her life, including forcing her to have sex with other men and forcing her to go to bed by 10 p.m. When she resisted, he blocked her immigration status.

It was not immediately known when or how the abuse ended.
