In a lawsuit filed Monday in New York, a woman claims she was raped by a man in 2002 at a New York mansion.

A wealthy man was going to invest in a skin care product that Pierson was going to launch.

According to the lawsuit, Black brutally attacked her and left her with "grossly swollen, torn and bleeding" genitals after she refused to give him a massage.

In the lawsuit, she says she was introduced to the man by Ghislaine Maxwell, who was sentenced to 20 years in prison earlier this year after being convicted of human traffickers as young as 14.

According to the lawsuit, Black slept with women passed on from Epstein after they outgrew his preferences for pubescent girls.

Black's lawyer, Susan Estrich, told Forbes that the allegations are false and part of a scheme to extort money from Black.

Black is being asked to cover her legal fees and a restraining order to keep him away from her. The lawsuit targets the estate for negligent conduct.

A New York State law that kicked off a one-year window in which sexual assault victims who were over the age of 18 when they were abused can file a lawsuit against their alleged abusers is what led to the lawsuit. Other high-profile cases brought under the act include a lawsuit filed by a writer against Donald Trump, who is accused of molesting her in the 1990s. The two women who said they were victims of Epstein sued the banks last week, claiming they profited from and turned a blind eye to his abuse.

Key Background

Guzel Ganieva sued Black last year, accusing him of sexually harassing and abusing her for years. The allegations were made under a different name. Black accused Ganieva of extorting money. Black stepped back from Apollo, which he co-founded, after a company investigation found that he had paid more than $150 million in fees for services, along with providing him with more than $30 million in loans and a gift of $10 million to the charity. The man was in a New York jail awaiting a trial for sex traffickers.
