A victim of Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation filed a lawsuit against the estate of Epstein and his partner in crime, convicted child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, on Wednesday in New York Supreme Court.

Elizabeth Stein, who first came forward in 2021, alleged years of abuse, stalking and manipulation by the couple that culminated in suicide attempts, multiple hospitalizations and a diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Stein became part of what the lawsuit describes as Epstein and Maxwell “An organized, decades-long scheme to procure young women for their own sexual pleasure and that of their friends and acquaintances, many of whom are high-ranking government officials and corporate titans.” Between 1994 and 1997, according to Deposit.

The lawsuit describes how the pair acted “They shamed her when she refused their services and overtures and pursued her with the malicious and malicious aim of turning her into sex meat for consumption by them and others.” She says Stein felt powerless to resist the couple’s advances after Maxwell fired her for rejecting the promotion Maxwell had secured for her, then followed her to her next position.
