Which, if true, it means yes she did claim that, fwiw. May or may not be relevant
Hilton Head allegations
None of the records thus far have included details of the Hilton Head allegations or Epsteins presence on the S.C. resort island in the 1980s. Jane Doe 4 alleged that she met Epstein when he rented a vacation home from her mother, who was a Hilton Head real estate agent, the filing said.
After raping her on the night they met, the lawsuit said Epstein continued to abuse her during subsequent stays on Hilton Head. She alleged that Epstein secretly photographed her and became violent when she asked for the photos.
The lawsuit contends that Epstein flew the girl to New York City at least three times. There, she was sexually abused by other prominent wealthy men.
(snip)
There she alleged that she was battered, assaulted and raped by men she met through him. One slapped her across the face while she was being forced to perform oral sex, according to the complaint. That same man raped her, the filing said.

OP
A witness statement IS substantiation. Why is it so "outlandlish" to believe pedophiles would do this?
