NEW YORK _ A woman who says she was Jeffrey Epstein's first known victim claims in a new lawsuit that the multimillionaire sex offender introduced her to Donald Trump when she was 14, saying, "This is a good one, right?"
Trump, according to the suit against Epstein's estate, "smiled and nodded in agreement." The woman filed the lawsuit Friday in Manhattan Federal Court under the pseudonym Jane Doe.
Trump and Epstein "both chuckled and Doe felt uncomfortable, but, at the time, was too young to understand why," the lawsuit reads. The alleged encounter happened in the mid-1990s, court documents said.
The victim met Epstein and his alleged madam, Ghislaine Maxwell, when she was 13 years old and attending Interlochen Arts Camp in Michigan, where she was in the voice program. The financier and British socialite groomed her for abuse by frequently making references to sex and insisting she indulge their every whim, according to the lawsuit. Epstein first sexually abused the girl toward the end of 1994, the lawsuit says. She claims she traveled with Epstein and Maxwell on his private jet.
Epstein abused her at his Upper East Side mansion, home in Palm Beach, Fla., and ranch in New Mexico, according to the lawsuit.
In 1997, Epstein raped her the first of many times, the lawsuit says.
The woman seeks a cut of Epstein's $577 million estate. More than 15 other victims have filed similar federal lawsuits against the notorious sex offender's estate.
The executors of Epstein's estate have proposed an optional out-of-court claims program for people seeking damages from his fortune.
Epstein, 66, killed himself behind while awaiting trial for sex trafficking charges. Maxwell has adamantly denied wrongdoing.
Manhattan prosecutors have said they continue to investigate Epstein's enablers. Trump and Epstein partied in the same social circles in the 1980s and 1990s but had a falling out in the early 2000s over a real estate dispute, according to reports.
"I was not a fan of his, that I can tell you," Trump said after Epstein was arrested last year.
