A witness using the pseudonym 'Kate' has taken the stand in Day Six of Ghislaine Maxwell's high-profile sex trafficking trial.
Under questioning from the prosecution, Kate claimed Monday that she was 17 when she was introduced to Maxwell by a boyfriend on a trip to Paris in 1994.
Kate, wearing a black cardigan, a dark blue blouse with white polka dots and a black skirt, is not one of the four women accusers in Maxwell's case, but has been brought in as a prosecution witness.
She claimed Maxwell invited her to her townhouse in Belgravia where Jeffrey Epstein was wearing a robe. Maxwell told her Epstein's massage therapist had canceled and asked if she could fill in.
Kate claimed Epstein took off his robe to reveal his naked body and Maxwell handed her massage oil and closed the door. Kate said that Epstein initiated sexual contact with her.
After the massage, Kate claimed Maxwell asked, 'How did it go? Did you have fun? You're such a good girl.'
'She sounded really pleased, and I was pleased that she was pleased,' Kate said.
'Later Maxwell told me to find someone to give Epstein a b***job,' Kate claimed, and said Maxwell told her he needed to have sex 'three times a day.'
As she sat in the witness box her blonde hair was swept back in a bun.
She appeared nervous and before the hearing was sitting outside court with her eyes closed as she steadied herself.
Kate's voice at times faltered but she spoke in a clear voice with a British accent.
Maxwell appeared impassive and mostly remained in her chair

Before Kate began to give evidence Judge Alison Nathan told the jury that because she was over the age of consent at the time she is 'not a victim' of the alleged crimes.
Judge Nathan said that the jury cannot convict Maxwell based on Kate's evidence and cannot use it for assessing Maxwell's 'character'.
The jury can only use it for things that are 'relevant to the issues before you', the judge said.
As a result of the ruling Kate was not asked the particulars of her encounters with Epstein.
Kate said that in 1994 when she was 17 she was living in Belgravia in London with her mother who was ill and 'under a lot of stress'.
Kate said she first met Maxwell in Paris on a trip with a man she was dating: at the time he was 38 and made the introduction as he knew Maxwell.
Kate said of Maxwell: 'We spoke about the evening and where we were headed, we spoke about where I lived. We spoke about the man I was dating. She was asking me about myself'.
Kate said that Maxwell was 'very sophisticated, very elegant and had quite short dark brown hair. She was very impressive'.
Kate estimated that Maxwell was in her early 30s at the time. Kate gave Maxwell her phone number and a few weeks later she called her.
Kate said: 'I was quite excited to be friends with her and she was friends with the guy I was dating. She seemed very excited and she seemed to be everything I wanted to be'.
The meeting took place at Maxwell's house in Belgravia and Kate recalled lots of pictures of Maxwell and Epstein on the walls.
Kate told Maxwell she lived alone with her mother and that her mum had migraines and she had to give her massages.
Kate said that she had a place to study law at Oxford University, which Maxwell told her she had attended. Kate said she was a musician as well and said she might pursue that and talked about how she was into athletics.
Kate said she had a 'really lovely time' during her meeting with Maxwell. She sighed as she said: 'I felt really special. I felt I had found a connection that could be really meaningful to me…she seemed as excited as I was to have a new friend. I left feeling exhilarated. Like somebody wanted me. Somebody wanted to be my friend'.
Maxwell told Kate about Epstein and said that he was a 'philanthropist who liked to help young people and that it would be really wonderful for me to meet him'.
Kate said that at the time in her life she was feeling 'lonely' and having just moved to the UK from France she 'hadn't found a group of friends'
A few weeks later Maxwell invited Kate back again to her home to meet Epstein. Kate said there was an 'urgency' in Maxwell's voice and she sounded 'activated' as she said Epstein was in town.
Kate said: 'She said she would love it if I could over and meet him.'
She claimed Epstein took off his robe to reveal his naked body and Maxwell handed her massage oil and closed the door. On Friday, Epstein's massage table was
