Epstein's 13-Year-Old 'First Victim' Reportedly Names Trump In DOJ File Release

A terrifying civil lawsuit from 2020 has come to light as part of a huge release of Department of Justice documents in late December 2025. These documents reveal the horrifying beginnings of Jeffrey Epstein's decades of predatory behaviour.

The lawsuit says that the well-known financier allegedly went after his first known victim in 1994, when she was only 13 years old. The filing says that Epstein and his accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, caused the young girl, who is only known as 'Jane Doe,' years of 'unimaginable physical and psychological trauma.'

The story of Doe's survival is one of strength in the face of systemic manipulation. The lawsuit was brought against Maxwell, 63, who is currently serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking, and the executors of Epstein's estate, which at the time included Darren K. Indyke and Richard D. Kahn.

The 2025 files showed that many well-known people, like former US Treasury Secretary Larry Summers and former Barclays CEO Jes Staley, had also been named as executors in different versions of Epstein's will. Six months before the filing, Epstein was found dead in his cell.

The Summer Camp Predator: How Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump Crossed Paths

The lawsuit alleges that the predatory cycle began at the Interlochen Arts Camp in Michigan. Doe, a vocal student at the time, was reportedly approached by Epstein and Maxwell while she sat on a bench between classes. It is a detail that adds a layer of calculated cruelty to the story: Epstein had attended the same camp in 1967 and later became a major donor, using his status as a patron of the arts to gain access to vulnerable, gifted young artists.

After questioning the girl about her family, Epstein requested her mother's phone number in Florida. Doe, who was fatherless and felt she could not refuse the older man, eventually complied. This began a period of 'grooming and mentoring' where the pair treated the 13-year-old to shopping trips and films. To tighten his grip, Epstein paid for Doe's voice lessons and insisted she 'could not advance her career in any way without him.' When she showed hesitation, the pair would reportedly scold her for being 'ungrateful.'

One of the most sensational claims in the lawsuit involves a visit to Mar-a-Lago. The complaint states that Epstein took the 14-year-old Doe to the private club to meet its owner. During the introduction of Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump, the financier allegedly 'elbowed Trump playfully, asking him, referring to Doe, 'This is a good one, right?'' The filing claims 'Trump smiled and nodded in agreement' while both men chuckled.

While the 79-year-old former president was not accused of any improper conduct or named further in the suit, Doe recalls feeling 'uncomfortable' but too young to grasp why. Trump has consistently dismissed such allegations as fabrications and a smear campaign.

The legal documents paint a grim picture of the years that followed. The first instance of sexual abuse allegedly occurred in late 1994 in Epstein's Palm Beach pool house. As the years passed, the abuse escalated and moved across the globe, occurring at Epstein's New York City townhouse and his ranch in New Mexico.

Doe was frequently flown to these locations aboard Epstein's private plane, and the civil suit alleges he 'raped' her on 'multiple occasions.' Recent disclosures from 2025 suggest Trump may have travelled on Epstein's private jet at least eight times between 1993 and 1996, including once where he was reportedly the only passenger alongside Epstein and an unidentified 20-year-old.

Doe finally escaped the cycle in 1999 by moving to Los Angeles, though the harassment did not stop immediately. She claimed Epstein continued to make threatening phone calls, berating her for her perceived lack of appreciation. The 2025 DOJ release also included an FBI report from 1996 involving another survivor, Maria Farmer, suggesting that authorities had warnings about Epstein's behaviour nearly 30 years ago.

Decades later, Jane Doe's decision to come forward serves as a testament to her strength. As the complaint notes, despite the atrocities committed against her, Doe has persevered to 'hold her perpetrators accountable and to seek justice.' The civil case reportedly concluded in a settlement with the Epstein estate.

The 2025 document release serves as a stark reminder of the long-standing failures in the legal and oversight systems that allowed Epstein's network to flourish for decades. As survivors like Jane Doe continue to fight for transparency and the full disclosure of those involved, the focus remains on ensuring that such a pattern of systemic abuse can never be repeated.
