JEFFREY Epstein claimed he had to have “three orgasms a day” according to court documents.
The convicted paedophile is alleged to have told one of the women “lured” to his New York City pad that his depraved need “was biological, like eating”.
Johanna Sjoberg’s testimony was revealed after a federal appeals court on Friday unsealed about 2,000 pages of documents related to Epstein.
The disgraced financier was found dead from an apparent suicide at a Manhattan jail earlier today.
He stood accused of sex trafficking involving dozens of underage girls.
Epstein has pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking in girls as young as 14, relating to conduct from at least 2002 to 2005.
Sjoberg gave statements in a deposition as part of a lawsuit brought against Maxwell by Virginia Roberts Giuffre.
She said that she was recruited by Maxwell in 2001, when she was a student at Palm Beach Atlantic College.
Sjoberg was under the impression she was being hired as a personal assistant, but she soon realized her job was to provide ‘sexual massages’ to Epstein.
According to The New York Times, Sjoberg was ‘punished’ when Epstein failed to orgasm as a result of one of her massages.
Giuffre alleges that Maxwell recruited her when she was 16 years old to be Epstein’s ‘sex slave.’
The lawsuit was settled in 2017 while the terms were kept confidential.
Epstein died after hanging himself in his New York prison cell today, officials revealed.
The shock death comes just two weeks after the 66-year-old jetsetter was placed on suicide watch when found slumped in jail with neck injuries.
At the time, it was not clear whether the bruises were self-inflicted or from an assault by another inmate.
A stretcher carrying Epstein was spotted being wheeled out of the Manhattan Correctional Center around 7.30am local time this morning.
Photographs – published in the US – showed Epstein, still in his orange prison uniform, lying with his eyes closed.
The allegations against him go back to the 2000s
2005 – Parents of a 14-year-old girl told police in Florida that Epstein had molested their daughter at his Palm Beach home. A police search of the property found photos of girls throughout the house.
2006 – Charged with multiple counts of unlawful sexual acts with a minor.
2007 – Epstein’s lawyers put together a plea deal for Epstein, who was the 54.
He agreed to plead guilty to two felony prostitution charges in state court,
In exchange, he and his accomplices received immunity from federal sex-trafficking charges that could have sent him to prison for life.
2008 – Appears in court to plead guilty on two lesser counts and sentenced to a 18 months in jail and was released early in 2009
July 2019 – Arrested charges of child sex trafficking and conspiracy to commit sex trafficking.
Prosecutors accused him in a grand jury indictment of paying dozens of girls as young as 14 to engage in sex acts with him at his New York and Florida properties from 2002 to 2005.
Pleaded not guilty and could face up to 45 years in prison if convicted.
More than a dozen women have now come forward with more sex abuse allegations.
August 2019 – Hundreds of pages of court documents were unsealed alleging new details of sexual abuse claims against Epstein and several associates.
August 10 2019 – The twisted tycoon dies after apparently hanging himself in his prison cell.
Paramedics were using breathing apparatus in what appeared to be an attempt to revive him.
The ambulance then took him to New York Downtown Hospital where some reports say he was in a state of “cardiac arrest.”
News of Epstein’s death comes a day after hundreds of pages of court documents were unsealed alleging new details of sexual abuse claims against Epstein and several associates.
It is not yet clear whether the authorities had put in additional safeguards to watch the twisted financier – an ex pal of Prince Andrew – after the first incident.
Martin Weinberg, Mr Epstein’s defence lawyer, has not immediately responded to a request for comment in the US.
Law enforcement officials later confirmed Epstein had taken his own life at MCC Manhattan, where he had been held without bail pending trial on child sex-trafficking charges.
