Background
Minor Victim-3 is an anonymized individual identified in federal criminal proceedings against both Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. The individual's true identity is protected by court order. Minor Victim-3 was approximately 16 years old at the time of the alleged abuse and is one of several minor victims named in the indictments. According to the S1 superseding indictment (filed July 8, 2020), Minor Victim-3 was among victims groomed and abused by Maxwell and Epstein during a period from at least 1994 through at least 1997. The S2 superseding indictment (filed March 29, 2021) extended the relevant period through at least 2004.
Minor Victim-3's inclusion in the case became a significant point of legal contention. Maxwell's defense team moved to strike all references to Minor Victim-3 as surplusage from the indictment and separately moved in limine to exclude evidence related to this individual, whom the defense referred to as 'Accuser-3.' The government argued that Minor Victim-3's testimony was admissible as direct evidence of the charged conspiracies or alternatively under Rule 404(b), and that Minor Victim-3 was a victim of the Mann Act conspiracies. Notably, Minor Victim-3 was never interviewed by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida during the earlier investigation into Epstein and did not agree to speak with law enforcement at that time.
Minor Victim-3 also appeared in the Jeffrey Epstein sealed indictment (19 Cr. 490), which alleged that Epstein enticed and recruited minor girls, including Minor Victim-3, to engage in sex acts at his residences in Manhattan, New York, and Palm Beach, Florida, during approximately 2002 to 2005.
Epstein Connection
Minor Victim-3 is identified in multiple federal indictments as a minor victim of sexual exploitation and abuse by Jeffrey Epstein, with Ghislaine Maxwell alleged to have assisted in recruiting, grooming, and facilitating the abuse. Minor Victim-3 was allegedly enticed to engage in sex acts with Epstein at his residences in Manhattan, New York, and Palm Beach, Florida. The U.S. Department of Justice argued that Minor Victim-3 suffered harm as a result of Epstein's actions, making her a victim under the Crime Victim's Rights Act and the Victim and Witness Protection Act.
