Jeffrey Epstein employed an army of "disciples" through a complex network of companies for many years to recruit girls and young women to have sex with him, according to allegations in three lawsuits filed Tuesday.
Among the allegations is that Epstein arranged to have one of the women marry another woman so the woman could get permanent U.S. residence allowing her to stay in the country. One of the suits allege that Epstein continued to have sex with underage girls while he was on work release serving a Florida jail sentence under the watch of sheriff's deputies.
The suits, filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan by women identified only as Katlyn Doe, Lisa Doe and Priscilla Doe, name seven businesses or foundations alleged to have assisted Epstein as respondents in addition to the estate of Epstein, who was found dead by suicide in his Manhattan jail cell this month.
. . .
Two of the suits allege activities similar to those claimed in actions brought against Epstein by other women — allegations of sex procured from teenagers with charm, gifts, promises of money and lucrative careers, and threats.
