Billionaire Leon Black accused of raping woman in Jeffrey Epstein's mansion in 2002, according to

court documents

A former model has accused billionaire Leon Black of sexually assaulting her at Jeffrey Epstein's Manhattan townhouse in 2002, according to court documents.

The woman, only identified as "Jane Doe," says Epstein arranged for her to give a $300 massage to Black at Epstein's mansion in 2002, but alleges that the co-founder of the private equity firm Apollo Global Management assaulted her instead, according to court documents filed on Monday first reported by Vanity Fair.

A spokesperson for Black called the claims "complete fiction" and a "baseless smear campaign" in a statement to Insider.

"This claim is complete fiction and has no basis in fact or law," the spokesperson said. "It is telling that it is asserted anonymously and concerns events that allegedly occurred some 20 years ago, 15 years after the statute of limitations expired. We expect that the courts will see this frivolous claim for precisely what it is."
