Another woman has come forward to accuse Jeffrey Epstein of sexual abuse, claiming that he ‘forcefully raped’ her when she was 15.
Jennifer Araoz was 14 when she said she was approached outside her high school by the billionaire’s staff.
The woman, she said, told her she knew a kind man called Jeffrey Epstein and brought her to his townhouse.

Speaking to Today on Wednesday, Araoz said: ‘He forcefully raped me knew exactly what he was doing and I don’t think cared.
‘If I wasn’t afraid to come forward sooner than maybe he wouldn’t have done it to other girls.
‘I feel really guilty.’
Epstein’s lawyers questioned her credibility, according to NBC.
She told the network that the first few times she went to his mansion there were other women and young girls there.
Eventually, when it was just her, he took her to what she says he called his ‘favorite room in the house’ – a massage room where she says he forced her to strip to her underwear and massage him while he masturbated.
Afterwards, he would give her $300, she said.
In 2002, when she was 15, she said he took things further.
‘He raped me, forcefully raped me. He knew exactly what he was doing.
‘I was terrified, and I was telling him to stop. “Please stop,”‘ added Araoz, now 32.
She says she never went back to his home afterwards and that her life spiraled as a result of the attack.
Araoz aged 14, when she says she was approached by Epstein’s staff outside her high school in New York City. She says he ‘forcefully raped’ her and ‘knew what he was doing’
