Leon Black threw her on the floor, biting her and leaving blood all over Jeffrey Epstein's carpet.

This episode continues examining the civil lawsuit filed against billionaire financier Leon Black by an anonymous plaintiff, referred to as Jane Doe. The host of "The Vault: The Epstein Files" narrates the case details, focusing on the plaintiff's allegations. The plaintiff is identified as a young woman with autism who claims she was trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein's associate, Elizabeth. The episode details a specific alleged assault by Leon Black in an apartment on New York's Upper East Side. It cites the plaintiff's personal notebooks, which she kept contemporaneously, as a key source for the claims. One quoted journal entry describes being bitten and thrown to the floor, resulting in blood on a carpet. The plaintiff's writings express anger towards Black and mention Ghislaine Maxwell commenting on Black's importance. Another journal entry shows the plaintiff pasted a poem and underlined words like "fat" and "millionaire" next to Black's name. The lawsuit alleges the incident was a violent and sadistic rape that caused lasting physical and psychological injury. It claims the plaintiff suffered internal rectal abrasions that continue to cause her pain. The episode states the plaintiff experiences monthly psychological triggers at the start of her menstrual cycle due to the sight of blood. The narrative asserts the plaintiff was trafficked to many other men both before and after the alleged incident with Black. It references a separate 2023 lawsuit, Jane Doe 1 v. Deutsche Bank, as suggesting Black had other victims through Epstein. A central claim is that Leon Black was a significant figure whom Epstein and Maxwell sought to protect. The host presents the plaintiff's journals as a raw, unfiltered account of her trauma and anger. The episode frames the lawsuit as part of a broader pattern of abuse facilitated by Epstein's network. The tone is investigative and narrative, weaving legal documents with dramatic readings from the plaintiff's journals. The style is somber and focused on presenting the allegations in a detailed, chronological manner. Listeners interested in the legal proceedings and personal narratives within the Epstein scandal will find this episode compelling. Those sensitive to graphic descriptions of alleged sexual violence may wish to skip it.
