An unidentified woman who had accused Moviefone co-founder and renowned psychiatrist Henry Jarecki of sex trafficking has decided to withdraw her lawsuit against him. The woman, known only as Jane Doe 11 in legal papers, alleged last year that Jarecki had engaged in slavery and other sexual offenses against her.
After reviewing the details and evidence related to her past interactions with Dr. Jarecki, which occurred many years ago, the accuser now believes that Jarecki did not intend to cause her any harm. She clarified that she was never a patient of his and had accompanied him willingly on trips. Furthermore, she acknowledged that she had not been introduced to Jarecki by Jeffrey Epstein, as she had initially thought.
Consequently, Jane Doe 11 has retracted her complaint against Dr. Jarecki. She has stated that she will not be providing any further statements on the issue, signaling the end of the legal action she had initiated against him.

“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,” he told Fox News Digital in June, when the lawsuit was filed. “I have never engaged in any abusive conduct with her or anyone else. I will contest these demonstrably untrue claims in the appropriate forum.”
Doe, a former model, had accused him of raping her in his upscale Gramercy Park home after Epstein sent her to him as a referral for complaints of depression.

According to the dropped lawsuit, the woman came to the United States in 2010 for work and soon entered Epstein’s orbit. She accused him of sexually abusing her before he sent her to “the best doctor in New York City” for a mental health check.
Among other accusations she has now dropped are that Jarecki took control of her life entirely between 2011 and 2014 and kept her as a modern-day sex slave.
His lawyers did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday.
