Jeffrey Epstein accuser sues prominent psychiatrist HenryJarecki for allegedly making her 'sex slave'
A Jeffrey Epstein accuser is suing a prominent 91-year-old psychiatrist, alleging he raped her for years and turned her into his “modern-day sex slave” after the late sex trafficker sent her to him for treatment for depression.
The unidentified woman, referred to only as Jane Doe 11, claimsHenryJareckistarted controlling and raping her in 2011 when Epstein gave her the mental health referral — calling him the “best doctor in New York City,” according to the complaint filed in Manhattan federal court Monday.
The one-time model alleged the “wealthy, well-connected” psychiatrist was Epstein’s “go-to” doctor who would regularly treat the pedophile’s victims and often shared young women’s confidential medical information with him, the filings state.
Jarecki’s lawyer, however, dismissed the allegations as “entirely false and baseless.” 3 The unidentified woman, referred to only as Jane Doe 11, claims psychiatrist Henry Jarecki (left) started controlling and raping her in 2011 when Jeffrey Epstein gave her the mental health referral.

“Dr Jarecki never engaged in any abusive conduct with the complainant or any other person,” the attorney, Sarita Kedia, said in a statement.
The woman claims she began to experience depression when Epstein started sexually abused her after she came to the US in 2010 seeking work as a model, the filing states.
She said she agreed to meet Jarecki, who was then in his late 70s, for an initial mental health consultation at his home in Manhattan’s swanky Gramercy Park neighborhood.
“During this first consultation, Jarecki told Jane Doe 11 that he had something that could make her happy right away. However, instead of prescribing her medication, Jarecki presented her with an expensive wristwatch,” the suit says. 3 The woman claims she began to experience depression when Epstein started sexually abused her after she came to the US in 2010 seeking work as a model, the filing states.

She claims Jarecki, who had promised to “save” her from Epstein, then forced her into a tour of his home before raping her in his bedroom, according to the suit.
The woman alleges the psychiatrist ordered her into a commercial relationship by repeatedly threatening her work status in the US or to return her to Epstein, according to court papers.
She claims he pushed her to move into an apartment near his home, which he then used as a base to force her into sex, the suit charges.
“Any time Jane Doe 11 would appear depressed or put up any level of resistance, Jarecki would remind her of the high rent that he could be charging and aggressively threaten punishment if she did not follow his sexual commands,” the court papers say.
The psychiatrist allegedly went on to rape her dozens of times from 2011 through 2014 in the Big Apple and trafficked her to his own private Caribbean island, the woman claims. 3 The psychiatrist is the latest of many people sued over their ties to Epstein (pictured with his madame Ghislaine Maxwell), who killed himself in a Manhattan jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

Elsewhere in the lawsuit, the woman alleges Jarecki eventually started ordering her to have threesomes and made her have sex with other men in front of him.
“While Jarecki ramped up his sexual domination over Jane Doe 11, and she in turn showed more signs of emotional deterioration, Jarecki would constantly remind her of her fragile immigration status and demonstrate even greater control over her life,” the filing states.
The psychiatrist is the latest of many people sued over their ties to Epstein, who killed himself in a Manhattan jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
Jarecki is a longtime Yale University faculty member whose works include the book “Modern Psychiatric Treatment.”
The civil lawsuit is seeking unspecified compensatory and punitive damages for sexual battery, emotional distress and violating the federal Trafficking Victims Protection Act.
