A teenage girl filed a $50 million lawsuit against a New York billionaire on Thursday, saying he sexually abused her when she was 14.

Jeffrey Epstein’s attorney, Gerald Lefcourt, said the allegations are false.

The girl, now 17 and identified only as Jane Doe, claims Epstein invited her to his Palm Beach mansion in 2005 to perform a massage for $300. She claims he demanded she remove her clothes, then sexually assaulted her, according to the lawsuit filed in federal court in West Palm Beach.

“Jane experienced confusion, shame, humiliation, embarrassment, and the assault sent her life into a downward spiral,” the lawsuit states.

The girl, her father and stepmother are seeking more than $50 million.

The teen is also at the center of a criminal case against Epstein in Florida, said her lawyer, Jeffrey Herman.
