A Queens man claims Jeffrey Epstein forced him into sex when he interned for the hedge fund manager, a new lawsuit reveals.

The allegation is outlined in a four-page suit filed against Epstein’s estate by a man using the initials “MH.” He claims that he worked as a “financial services intern” for Epstein while he was in high school in 2013 and 2014.

“Epstein promoted the sexual performance of MH which involved sexual conduct by a child less than seventeen years old,” the lawsuit filed in Queens Supreme Court on Tuesday reads. “The plaintiff was sexually abused, and as a result was injured. The plaintiff still suffers, and upon information and belief, will continue to suffer great mental pain, and is incapacitated from his usual and daily pursuits, and the plaintiff has been otherwise damaged.”

The legal papers claim Epstein “authorized and/or induced” MH to “engaged in a sexual performance,” but no further details are shared. A call to the lawyer who filed the paperwork was not immediately returned. MH appears to be the first man to accuse Epstein of abuse.
