An anonymous Jeffrey Epstein accuser, known only as Jane Doe 11, has dropped her sex trafficking lawsuit against prominent psychiatrist Henry Jarecki, co-founder of Moviefone. In a statement through her attorney, she acknowledged that upon reviewing the history and evidence of her relationship with Dr. Jarecki, she realized that he did not intend to harm her, she was never his patient, and she traveled with him voluntarily. She also clarified that she was not referred to Jarecki by Jeffrey Epstein. As a result, she has withdrawn her complaint and has no further comments on the matter. The notice of voluntary dismissal was filed in the Southern District of New York with prejudice, meaning the accusations cannot be revived.
Henry Jarecki, who is in his 90s and is a longtime Yale University professor, author, billionaire metals trader, and prominent psychiatrist, had denied the allegations from the beginning, calling them “demonstrably untrue.” Jarecki stated that false accusations were made against him by lawyers seeking money on behalf of the woman with whom he had a consensual, non-secretive, and mutually respectful relationship over a decade ago. He emphasized that he had never engaged in any abusive conduct with her or anyone else and would contest the claims in the appropriate forum. Despite the dropped lawsuit, Jarecki’s lawyers did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The accuser, a former model, had accused Jarecki of raping her in his upscale Gramercy Park home after being referred to him by Jeffrey Epstein for complaints of depression. According to the dropped lawsuit, the woman arrived in the United States in 2010 for work and eventually entered Epstein’s circle. She accused Epstein of sexually abusing her before sending her to Jarecki for a mental health check. Among the accusations that she has now dropped are that Jarecki controlled her life entirely between 2011 and 2014 and kept her as a modern-day sex slave. Jarecki’s lawyers did not provide an immediate comment in response to these dropped accusations.
The lawsuit’s dismissal marks a shift in the allegations against Jarecki, as the accuser has reconsidered her previous claims and chosen to withdraw the complaint. The voluntary dismissal with prejudice signifies that the accusations cannot be revisited at a later date. This development offers a resolution to the legal dispute between the accuser and Jarecki, bringing closure to the case. While no further comments on the matter have been made, this decision represents an acknowledgment that the accuser no longer wishes to pursue legal action against Jarecki, citing a reevaluation of the facts surrounding their relationship.
Overall, the dropped sex trafficking lawsuit against Henry Jarecki by an anonymous Jeffrey Epstein accuser reflects a retraction of previous allegations made against him. The accuser, Jane Doe 11, has acknowledged that upon reviewing the history and evidence of her relationship with Jarecki, she realized that he did not intend to cause her harm, and she participated voluntarily in their interactions. Jarecki, who had staunchly denied the accusations, will no longer face legal action pertaining to this specific case, as the accuser has chosen to withdraw her complaint. This development brings closure to the legal dispute and signifies a shift in the narrative surrounding the allegations against Jarecki.
