WEST PALM BEACH, FL -- Billionaire Jeffrey Epstein will be released from prison in less than a week after serving 13 months for child prostitution.

Still, the civil suits against him continue to pile up.

Jane Doe number 102 as she's known was a 15 year-old changing room assistant working at the exclusive Mar-a-Lago club on Palm Beach when the lawsuit says she was initially approached by a friend of Epstein.

The girl, now 26, claims Epstein spent four years assaulting, battering, exploiting and abusing her and forcing her to satisfy his every sexual whim.

Lawyers for the various Jane Does say Epstein used his power and wealth to manipulate their clients and are suing in excess of 50 million dollars for among other things, psychological damages.

This most recent suit says Epstein's longtime companion, Ghislaine Maxwell, approached the plaintiff while working at Mar-a-Lago while she was making nine dollars an hour.

Bernd Lembcke, with Mar-a-Lago, says he does not have specifics on the case but assumes the girl was a part-time attendant working for one season. He says the club does not condone this action.

Nowhere in the lawsuit does it say Jane Doe number 102 was tied up or held against her will. The lawsuit says Epstein paid the girl for her services.

Epstein has been serving time in the Palm Beach County Stockade since June 2008. He has been able to leave every day to work at his West Palm Beach foundation.

Epstein will walk free Wednesday morning.
