A prominent 91-year-old psychiatrist who was once close friends with Jeffrey Epstein was sued on Monday by a one-time model who said he enabled the late financier’s sex trafficking, and turned her into his “modern-day sex slave”.

In a complaint filed in Manhattan federal court, the plaintiff, using the pseudonym Jane Doe 11, said Henry Jarecki raped her repeatedly starting in 2011, after Epstein referred her for mental health treatment following his own sexual abuses.

Doe also said Jarecki was Epstein’s “go-to” doctor for treating young women experiencing depression, shared victims’ confidential medical information with Epstein, and shielded Epstein from police.

“The allegations will be shown to be entirely false and baseless,” said Sarita Kedia, a lawyer for Jarecki. “Dr Jarecki never engaged in any abusive conduct with the complainant or any other person.”

Doe’s civil lawsuit seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages for sexual battery, emotional distress, and violating the federal Trafficking Victims Protection Act.
