The trove of documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein includes scanned pages of an apparent diary containing first-person accounts of alleged abuse as well as emails describing accusations against Black.
Certain details expressed in the spiral-bound notebook, including the year, location, and perpetrators of the alleged abuse, correspond to a 2023 lawsuit alleging that the billionaire raped a 16-year-old girl who has autism and a rare form of Down Syndrome in Epsteins Manhattan residence in 2002. According to court filings, at the time, the girls developmental age was estimated to be 12 years old. The lawsuit is ongoing, and the woman, known as Jane Doe, recently fired her attorney.
On a page of the apparent journal, the diarys author pasted a copy of Sylvia Plaths 1962 poem Stopped Dead and added Leon Black in handwriting next to the title. The author underlined several lines from the poem: birth, cry, fatso millionaire, it's violent, goddamn baby screaming, there's always a bloody baby, your seven chins, still as a ham. Some of the entries appear to be written in a form of code. The letters are arranged so that reading downward, diagonally upward toward the right, down, and repeating the pattern produces a coherent message.

Billionaire Leon Black Accused of Raping Jeffrey Epsteins Special Girl
Leon Black has been accused of violently raping a 16-year-old girl with autism and Down syndrome while asking "what made her 'Jeffrey [Epstein's] special girl,'" according to a New York lawsuit.
Black retired from his investment firm Apollo in July 2021, after a review found he paid Epstein $158 million for financial advice between 2012 and 2017, after the pedophile's criminal conviction.
A woman has since come forward with historic allegations that he violently raped her, including using a sex toy, leaving "an indelible mark on her, both physically and psychologically."
The case filed at Federal Court in New York on July 25 is in its early stages and Black's lawyers said the allegations were "totally made up," suggesting they had been brought by a law firm with a vendetta.

I will never ever EVER be the same
What a great, soulful, perceptive funny young woman she is
I didnt study her work as carefully as I could have, apparently, as I had no idea this Leon Black guy was involved
Oh, here are pages from her diary when, apparently, she is in a residential treatment facility not far from
(second page) Mara largo and, I assume, Epsteins mansion:
