VI belonger Jarecki says he had ‘consensual’ relationship with rape accuser
Mr Jarecki, 91, who owns both Guana Island and Norman Island in the Virgin Islands, said the consensual relationship with the woman occurred more than a decade ago.
The woman identified as Jane Doe 11 was one of a group of women who received compensation from a fund set up for victims of the convicted sex offender Epstein.
That complaint accused Jarecki of “coercing her into being his modern-day sex slave” after the wealthy money manager Epstein sent her to his “close” friend Jarecki to treat her for depression she said was a result of Epstein’s sexual abuse.
The suit alleges that Jarecki was Epstein’s “go-to doctor” for his sexual abuse victims. And it says Jarecki, then around 80 years old, raped the accuser during her first visit with him.
False Accusations - Jarecki
In his statement Wednesday responding to the suit, Jarecki via his lawyer Sarita Kedia said, “False accusations have been made against me by lawyers seeking money on behalf of a woman with whom I had a consensual, non-secretive, and mutually respectful relationship over a decade ago, when she was a successful professional in her late 20s.”
“I have never engaged in any abusive conduct with her or anyone else,” the statement added, “I will contest these demonstrably untrue claims in the appropriate forum."
Brad Edwards, a lawyer representing the accuser, in correspondence to CNBC wrote, “A ‘consensual’ relationship to describe a patient 60 years his junior, referred by Jeffrey Epstein, and known to be a sexual abuse victim, is a creative ‘defense,’ if nothing else.”
The lawsuit against Jarecki alleges he repeatedly raped the accuser starting in 2011 through December 2014, and ultimately forced her to have sex with other men while he watched.
The suit is seeking unspecified monetary damages for sexual battery, sex trafficking, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Following the explosive allegations on June 3, a lawyer for Jarecki said, "The allegations will be shown to be entirely false and baseless. Dr Jarecki never engaged in any abusive conduct with the complainant or any other person."

It's important to understand that consent is a clear and mutual agreement to engage in a specific activity. A consensual relationship, whether romantic or otherwise, does not grant blanket permission for any and all sexual activities at any time. Each encounter requires its own explicit consent. Just because someone agrees to spend time with a person, regardless of their wealth or status, does not mean they are consenting to sexual activity.
To clarify, here are some key points:
Consent is ongoing and specific: Consenting to dinner, a date, or even a relationship does not mean consenting to sex. Each sexual encounter requires its own explicit agreement.
Power dynamics and coercion: In relationships where there is a significant power imbalance, such as those involving wealth or status, coercion can play a role. This can make it difficult for the less powerful person to freely give or withhold consent.
Right to withdraw consent: Consent can be withdrawn at any time. Even if someone initially consents to an activity, they have the right to change their mind at any point.
Blame lies with the perpetrator: The responsibility for sexual assault lies solely with the perpetrator. Suggesting that victims "put themselves in these positions" wrongly shifts the blame away from the person who committed the crime.
Impact of victim blaming: Victim blaming discourages survivors from coming forward and seeking justice. It fosters a culture of silence and shame, making it harder for other victims to report assaults.
In essence, every individual has the right to make choices about their body and sexual activities without fear of being assaulted or blamed for someone else's criminal actions. No one "asks for" or "deserves" to be sexually assaulted, regardless of their circumstances or relationships. It is crucial to support survivors and hold perpetrators accountable to foster a safer and more just society.
Please understand that I strongly agree that victims should be protected and perpetrators brought to justice but someone has to ask just why would someone leave it for so long before reporting it.. days / weeks / months I understand...but years has me scratching my head.
He did it? Jus like Trump? ..That other guy was convicted too…I don’t blame them,when u have money.Money make the horses ???? run,the world go round …
