In a shocking revelation, billionaire investor Leon Black has been accused of sexually assaulting an autistic teenager at the residence of the late financier Jeffrey Epstein two decades ago. The allegations surfaced in a lawsuit filed in Manhattan federal court on Tuesday.

The plaintiff, identified only as "Jane Doe," alleges that she was trafficked by Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell for about a year before being "handed off" to Black. The alleged incident took place in 2002 when Doe was just 16 years old. The lawsuit claims that Black "pinned her down" inside Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse and "abused her with sex toys."

The complaint paints a disturbing picture of the alleged assault, stating that Black grabbed Doe's hand so hard she thought he had broken her bones. It further alleges that Doe, who is developmentally equivalent to a 12-year-old, was threatened and coerced into compliance.

The lawsuit traces the beginning of Doe's ordeal back to 2001 when her cheerleading coach allegedly brought her to an "adult party" in Washington, D.C. where she first met Epstein and Maxwell. Following this encounter, Doe claims she was "routinely shipped" to Epstein’s infamous Little St. James island where she was ordered to "sexually massage" Epstein and his friends.

The lawsuit alleges that in 2002, Epstein executed a "hand off" to his close friend Leon Black at his Manhattan townhouse. The complaint states, "But what passed directly to Black’s hands from the hands of Jeffrey Epstein was a human being – not a ball."

During the alleged assault, Doe claims that Black, whom she described as looking like an "ogre," violently threw her down on the massage table. The lawsuit alleges that Black demeaned and shamed Doe throughout the assault, asking her what made her "Jeffrey’s special girl."

Black's attorney, Susan Estrich, has vehemently denied the allegations, calling the lawsuit "frivolous." She insists that Black has never met the accuser and is confident that the lawsuit is uncorroborated by any evidence.

The lawsuit against Black is the latest development in the ongoing investigation into Epstein's network of powerful and influential men. Meanwhile, the Senate Finance Committee is reportedly investigating $158 million that Black paid to Epstein in the years leading up to Epstein’s suicide in August 2019.

This case adds another layer to the complex web of allegations surrounding Epstein's network and raises further questions about the extent of his influence over powerful figures. As the legal proceedings unfold, the world will be watching closely for the truth to emerge.
