Stein was a sophisticated New Yorker woman in her 20s when she started swinging?

“In 1992, when Stein was a teenager attending Fashion Institute of Technology, she began interning at the now-defunct Henri Bendel department store.”

“About two years into the job, when she was 21, Maxwell approached her, according to the criminal complaint.
As Maxwell shopped, she allegedly claimed that her colleague was close friends with Les Wexner, former CEO of Victoria’s Secret, whose retailing and marketing conglomerate once owned Henri Bendel.

The complaint states that Maxwell later asked Stein to deliver her purchases to the St. Regis on Fifth Avenue. There, the concierge directed her to the bar, where Maxwell and Epstein were drinking.” “They allegedly began kissing and touching each other before asking if Stein had ever participated in a threesome.
‘Maxwell then encouraged [Stein] to join them and assured her ‘it would be fun,’ the complaint reads.”
“”

“In 1994, Stein was asked to be an assistant manager at Henri Bendel, but she declined the role to focus on her schooling.”Stein took a job at Bloomingdale’s after graduation. But Maxwell allegedly came in a few months later and ‘befriended’ her again.”

In the fall of 1995, Maxwell invited Stein over to Epstein’s home for a dinner party, where Stein was brought to a room with a massage table. According to the complaint, she was made to ‘engage in sexual acts with others in the room.’
