In June this year 91 year old billionaire psychiatrist and associate of Jeffery Epstein, Dr. Henry Jarecki, was sued by a woman sixty years his junior for raping her for years and turning her into a “modern day sex slave.”

     The woman, who the court has approved to remain anonymous, states that Epstein had referred her to the psychiatrist to whom he had regularly referred his sexual victims. The suit states that Jarecki often shared the medical records of these women with Epstein.

     Epstein told this victim that Jarecki was “the best doctor in New York City.” When she met him at his apartment for her first appointment, an “initial mental health consultation,” she discovered otherwise. Jarecki told the woman that he had something that would make her feel happy right away and presented her with an expensive wristwatch. Then he guided her into his bedroom and raped her.

     He then coerced her under threat of jeopardizing her immigration status to move into an apartment he set up for her nearby his home and forced her for the next three years to have sex with him and with others he sent there.

     He also took her to his private Virgin Island retreat, an island 14 miles from Epstein’s famous Little St. James, which he had purchased a year after Epstein bought his island in 1998. He sexually trafficked the woman there, as well.Jarecki has denied the accusations.

     “I had a consensual, non-secretive, and mutually respectful relationship when she was a successful professional in her late 20s,” he has claimed.

     Gloria Jarecki, the psychiatrist’s wife of 57 years, has not made any public comment about
the lawsuit.

     Although Jarecki’s association with Jeffrey Epstein makes this case more newsworthy, sexual  exploitation or assault by psychiatrists is not all that uncommon. Ten percent of all psychotherapists have actually admitted to sexually molesting their patients. Some studies estimate that that figure is actually as high as 25 percent and one California estimated the figure at 48 percent.

     Psychiatrists also divorce more often than any other type of doctor, but apparently Gloria Jarecki has not gotten that memo.
