One of the women who alleges she was ‘lured’ to Jeffrey Epstein’s New York City mansion says the multimillionaire sex offender told her he needed to have ‘three orgasms a day.’
‘It was biological, like eating,’ Epstein is alleged to have told Johanna Sjoberg.
Sjoberg’s testimony was revealed after a federal appeals court on Friday unsealed about 2,000 pages of documents related to Epstein, the financier facing charges of sex trafficking involving dozens of underage girls.
The documents were released by the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan, as part of a defamation lawsuit by Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein’s accusers, against Ghislaine Maxwell, a longtime friend of Epstein.

Epstein has pleaded not guilty to criminal charges of sex trafficking in girls as young as 14, relating to conduct from at least 2002 to 2005.
Sjoberg gave statements in a deposition as part of a lawsuit brought against Maxwell by Virginia Roberts Giuffre.
She said that she was recruited by Maxwell in 2001, when she was a student at Palm Beach Atlantic College.
Sjoberg was under the impression she was being hired as a personal assistant, but she soon realized her job was to provide ‘sexual massages’ to Epstein.
According to The New York Times, Sjoberg was ‘punished’ when Epstein failed to orgasm as a result of one of her massages.
Giuffre alleges that Maxwell recruited her when she was 16 years old to be Epstein’s ‘sex slave.’
The lawsuit was settled in 2017 while the terms were kept confidential.
But the unsealed documents revealed more details about Epstein’s alleged fixation on sex.
John Alessi, a butler who worked for Epstein, said in a 2016 deposition that his then-boss used ‘strap-on’ dildos and sex toys.
Giuffre’s former boyfriend also testified that she told him about Epstein’s alleged threesomes.

Giuffre says she was just 16 years old when she was recruited to work for Epstein. In court documents, a former boyfriend alleges that she told him she took part in threesomes with Epstein and Maxwell
He testified that Giuffre told him she engaged in threesomes with Epstein and Maxwell, the New York Post reported.
Another alleged victim who was not identified testified that Epstein had a ‘deformed’ penis that was ‘egg-shaped.’
According to documents, Maxwell and Epstein made Giuffre watch as they took part in ‘illegal sexual acts with dozens of underage girls.’
Court documents also revealed that a 15-year-old Swedish girl was allegedly confined to Epstein’s private island and kept there as a sex slave.
The horrific allegations were made by a butler who worked for hedge fund billionaire Glenn Dubin and his wife, Eva Andersson-Dubin.
During a 2016 deposition which was revealed publicly for the first time on Friday, the butler, Rinaldo Rizzo, tearfully described seeing a 15-year-old girl in his boss’s kitchen in 2005.
Rizzo testified in the deposition that the girl was brought to the home by Andersson-Dubin, a former Miss Sweden who once dated Epstein.
The butler said that the girl reminded him of other girls he saw at Epstein’s home, according to The Daily Beast.
Rizzo said the girl sat in a stool next to a kitchen counter in the Dubins’ home. She was ‘distraught and shaking…literally quivering’ as she described her treatment at the hands of Epstein’s alleged madam, Ghislaine Maxwell, and his assistant, Sarah Kellen, in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
‘She sat down and sat in the stool exactly the way the girls that I mentioned to you sat at Jeffrey’s house, with no expression and with their head down,’ Rizzo testified.
According to Rizzo, he introduced himself and his wife to the teen after Andersson-Dubin stepped out of the kitchen for a few moments.
A butler who worked for hedge fund billionaire Glenn Dubin and his wife, Dr. Eva Andersson-Dubin, testified in court that Andersson-Dubin once brought a 15-year-old Swedish girl to their house. The girl allegedly told the butler, Rinaldo Rizzo, that she was a ‘sex slave’ for Jeffrey Epstein
The Dubins are friends with Jeffrey Epstein, the wealthy pedophile who has pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking girls as young as 14 years old. Epstein is seen left with his alleged madam, socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, in March 2005 in New York City
‘She doesn’t really respond,’ Rizzo testified.
‘Nothing verbal, no cues, her head is still down.
‘I asked her if she would like some water, tissue, anything, and she basically doesn’t respond.’
Rizzo testified that he then tried to make small talk with the teen.
‘Oh, by the way, do you work for Jeffrey?’ he asked her.
‘Yes,’ the 15-year-old replied.
‘What do you do?’ he asked.
‘I’m Jeffrey’s executive assistant, personal assistant,’ she said.
Rizzo said she appeared way too young for that. He then asked her how she got the job and her age.
‘And she says to me, point blank, ‘I’m 15′,’ Rizzo testified.
‘And I said to her, ‘You’re 15 years old and you have a position like that?’
‘At that point she just breaks down hysterical, and I feel like I just said something wrong, and she will not stop crying.’
Rizzo testified that at this point he and his wife tried to console the young girl.
He said they offered her tissue and water, but this did not help calm her down.
The 15-year-old Swedish girl allegedly told Rizzo that she was held against her will on Epstein’s island in the U.S. Virgin Islands after she refused pressure to have sex with men
‘And then in a state of shock, she just lets it rip, and what she told me was unbelievable,’ Rizzo testified.
‘She proceeded to tell my wife and I… ‘I was on the island and there was Ghislaine, and there was Sarah,’ and she said, ‘They asked me for sex. I said no’.’
Rizzo then said: ‘She didn’t specify who asked for sex. She said they asked for sex.’
According to Rizzo, after the young girl refused to have sex, Kellen took the young girl’s phone and passport and gave them to Maxwell.
‘And at that point, she said she was threatened,’ Rizzo testified.
‘And I said, ‘Threatened?’
‘She says, ‘Yes. I was threatened by Ghislaine, not to discuss this’.’
After Rizzo asked the girl if she spoke to her parents, ‘She says, ‘I’m not supposed to talk about this’.’
Rizzo testified that the teen told him Epstein threatened her to keep quiet about what she knew.
‘The word she used was sex,’ he testified.
As far as the girl’s emotional state was concerned, Rizzo said that she was ‘shaking uncontrollably.’
Rizzo testified that the girl stopped answering questions once she realized that someone was heading toward the kitchen.
It was Eva Andersson-Dubin, according to Rizzo.
‘Eva comes in and tells her that she will be working for Eva in the city,’ Rizzo testified.
‘As a nanny.’
Rizzo testified that he saw the girl about a month later on board a flight with the Dubin family to Sweden.
She was dropped off at an airport in the Scandinavian country, according to Rizzo.
Rizzo testified in a deposition which was part of Giuffre’s defamation lawsuit brought against Maxwell.
Giuffre also accused Glenn Dubin of participating in the sex-trafficking ring, according to court documents.
Dubin has denied the allegations.
Former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson and Former US Senator George Mitchell, (right), were named in a deposition as men that Virginia Roberts Giuffre was instructed by Jeffrey Epstein and his associated Ghislaine Maxwell to have sexual relations with. Both strenuously deny the allegations
Maxwell has not been criminally charged. Reuters was not immediately able to reach Maxwell for comment.
The documents were released after the appeals court rejected her bid to keep them under seal.
‘Glenn and Eva Dubin are outraged by the allegations in the unsealed court records, which are demonstrably false and defamatory,’ a spokesperson for the family told The Daily Beast on Friday.
‘The Dubins have flight records and other evidence that definitively disprove that any such events occurred.’
Glenn Dubin is the billionaire co-founder of Highbridge Capital Management. His net worth is valued at $2.1billion, according to Forbes.
In 1994, he married Eva, a former model who became a doctor.
After she survived breast cancer, the couple donated millions of dollars to found Dubin Breast Center at Mount Sinai Medical Center, which opened in 2011.
They have three children.
Before marrying Glenn Dubin, Eva Andersson dated Epstein.
After Epstein was arrested for sex trafficking, Andersson-Dubin released a statement to The New York Times saying that the allegations ‘are completely counter to the person she is familiar with.’
As more details emerged about Epstein’s alleged behavior, the couple released another statement saying: ‘The Dubins are horrified by the new allegations against Jeffrey Epstein … Had they been aware of the vile and unspeakable conduct described in these new allegations, they would have cut off all ties and certainly never have allowed their children to be in his presence.’
Giuffre also alleged that Epstein and Maxwell forced her to have sex with powerful men, including Democratic politicians George Mitchell and Bill Richardson.
She alleged in a May 3, 2016 deposition that she was trafficked by the pair to have sex with and provide erotic massages to politicians and affluent businessmen.
Former US Senator George Mitchell, (left), claimed he never met or spoke to Virginia Roberts Giuffre and never observed Jeffrey Epstein having inappropriate contact with girls
A spokesman for Bill Richardson said he had limited interactions with Mr. Epstein and never saw him in the presence of young or underage girls
According to one deposition, Giuffre alleges that she was ‘told to have sex’ with George Mitchell, a former Senate Majority leader who represented Maine from 1980-95 and former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson.
In a statement to Fox News, Mitchell flatly denied the allegations contained in the document.
He added: ‘I have never met, spoken with or had any contact with Ms. Giuffre,’ Mitchell said.
‘In my contacts with Mr. Epstein I never observed or suspected any inappropriate conduct with underage girls. I only learned of his actions when they were reported in the media related to his prosecution in Florida. We have had no further contact.’
Giuffre claimed that Maxwell also instructed her to have sex with modeling agent Jean Luc Brunel.
Richardson served as US Ambassador to the United Nations from 1997-1998, and Secretary of Energy under President Bill Clinton from 1998-2000.
In 2008, he sought the Democratic nomination for President, dropping out after Iowa and New Hampshire.
In a statement issued to Fox News, Richardson denied the allegation and insisted that they are ‘completely false.’
‘Governor Richardson has never even been contacted by any party regarding this lawsuit,’ his spokesperson said.
Giuffre claimed in a May 3, 2016, deposition that Maxwell directed her to have sex with people including modeling agent Jean Luc Brunel, (pictured)
‘To be clear, in Governor Richardson’s limited interactions with Mr. Epstein, he never saw him in the presence of young or underage girls.
‘Governor Richardson has never been to Mr. Epstein’s residence in the Virgin Islands. Governor Richardson has never met Ms. Giuffre.’
It was not clear from the deposition transcript included in the court documents how old Giuffre was at the time of the alleged direction. The transcript does not indicate whether Giuffre actually engaged in sex with the four men.
A lawyer for Brunel did not respond to a phone call and email from Associated Press seeking comment.
She was asked in the deposition by a lawyer for Ghislaine Maxwell to ‘name the politically connected and financially powerful people that Ghislaine Maxwell told you to have sex with.’
Giuffre then responded: ‘Again, I’m going to tell you ‘they’ because that’s how it went. They instructed me to go to George Mitchell, Jean Luc Brunnel, Bill Richardson.
‘A guy that owns a hotel, a really large hotel chain. I can’t remember which hotel it was,’ she adds.
She claimed there was ‘a whole bunch’ of men that she was instructed to have sexual relations with, adding: ‘It’s hard for me to remember all of them.’
Giuffre added: ‘You know, I was told to do something by these people constantly, told to – – my whole life revolved around just pleasing them and keeping Ghislaine and Epstein happy. Their whole entire lives revolved around sex.’
None of those named in Giuffre’s deposition have been charged criminally or sued in connection with Epstein’s case.
No other court documents provide any additional details about Giuffre’s allegations, and many remain sealed.
She claimed that she had sexual relations with former MIT scientist Marvin Minsky in the US Virgin Islands. He has denied the allegations.
