55-year-old Jeffrey Epstein, an investor billionaire has been sued again, having just been sued January 24.A woman filed suit Wednesday accusing a New York billionaire of sexually assaulting her when she was underage.

The latest suit involves a 19-year-old woman who was 16 at the time, and says Epstein paid her $200 to disrobe and massage him. He removed his towel at some point and moved onto his back and began to touch her sexually and masturbated.

Both cases involve claims that Epstein lured underage girls to give him massages back at his mansion, which ended up becoming sexual. Each case seeks over $50m.

Another teenage girl made similar claims against Epstein in a lawsuit filed last month. She is also at the center of a criminal case against Epstein in West Palm Beach, where he is charged with one felony count of solicitation of prostitution. He faces up to five years in prison if convicted. A hearing in that case is set for March.

He also faces a similar sex abuse lawsuit in New York.

Epstein was named one of New York's most eligible bachelors in 2003 by the New York Post. He has lavish homes in Manhattan, New Mexico, Florida and the Virgin Islands.
