Woman sues psychiatrist Henry Jarecki over rape and sex trafficking allegations linked to Jeffrey Epstein

A woman filed a lawsuit against Henry Jarecki, claiming he raped and trafficked her after Jeffrey Epstein sent her to him for psychiatric treatment. The woman, referred to as "Jane Doe 11," alleges that Jarecki, a close friend of Epstein, abused her from 2011 to 2014. The lawsuit also accuses Jarecki of inviting other men to have sex with her in front of him. Jarecki's lawyer denies the allegations, stating they are false and baseless. The lawsuit seeks monetary damages for sexual battery, sex trafficking, and emotional distress. The woman's lawyer, Brad Edwards, describes her as courageous for coming forward. Jarecki, a psychiatrist and entrepreneur, was awarded the Pardes Humanitarian Prize in Mental Health. In the past, he was known for his role in the gold market and for selling Moviefone to AOL for a significant amount. Epstein, who was accused of child sex trafficking, died by suicide in 2019. Jarecki's lawyer maintains his innocence, while the accuser's legal team hopes her bravery will inspire others to speak out. The lawsuit follows a settlement obtained by the same lawyers on behalf of Epstein victims against JPMorgan Chase. The case sheds light on the alleged abuse of power and exploitation of vulnerable individuals.
