She was 14 and still in braces when she met globe-trotting millionaire Jeffrey Epstein.

And the former middle-school cheerleading captain proved to be just his type: cute, white, a bit troubled — and, above all, prepubescent.

“I remember standing in his kitchen, and he also had a lot of girls there at the time,” Courtney Wild, now in her 30s, recalled to ABC News on Monday.

Wild — who was in Manhattan federal court later in the day to watch the 66-year-old convicted pervert appear on federal charges — has admitted that she eventually helped recruit other girls for Epstein in Florida.

“He told me he wanted them as young as I could find them,’’ she told the Miami Herald last year.

“If I had a girl to bring him at breakfast, lunch and dinner, then that’s how many times I would go a day. He wanted as many girls as I could get him. It was never enough.”

Michelle Licata — who, like Wild, accused Epstein of forcing her into sex acts years ago — told ABC that she was recruited by a high-school pal to give the twisted financier “massages’’ starting when she was 16.

When she first met him, Licata recalled, “he said, ‘God, you’re just so beautiful and sexy and gorgeous,’ and it was making me feel really uncomfortable.”

During an interview with authorities, part of which ABC aired, she added: “Then he wanted me to rub his back. And then he kept asking me to go lower and lower.

“He was kind of talking to me, like trying to get to know me, about my sex life.”

Licata joined Wild in watching Epstein hauled into court on Monday. It didn’t appear the women were part of the new criminal case against him.

Their lawyer later referred in a statement to a state plea deal Epstein reached in 2008 involving watered-down allegations levied against him in Florida.

Epstein’s “lead defense is the fact that the government 10 years ago thought enough of the case to just make it go away, and that’s what [his attorneys] are now going to use to say, ‘Hey, look, someone else thought it was nothing, so you should think it’s nothing, too,’ ” said the lawyer, Bradley Edwards.

“But I don’t see that working” in New York.

The lawyer for two other Epstein accusers, Virginia Giuffre and Sarah Ransome, read their statements outside court.

“Finding the words adequate enough now to express how I feel is a tall task,’’ Giuffre said in the statement read by her lawyer, Sigrid McCawley.

“But I can say without hesitation I am deeply pleased that the federal prosecutors in New York have arrested Jeffrey Epstein and our case is taken in a serious way.”

Ransome added in her own statement, “The news of my abuser’s arrest today is a step in the right direction to finally hold Epstein accountable for his sex crimes and restore my faith that power and money can’t triumph over justice.’’

Epstein — a former hedge-fund honcho who moved in the same circles as England’s Prince Andrew, former President Bill Clinton and President Trump — has been accused of running a cult-like ring so he could prey on underage girls.

He and underlings would allegedly lure teens to his palatial homes for “massages” in exchange for $200 to $300 a session and offers to help with their problems or careers.

But the visits quickly took sick turns, involving molestation, oral sex and rape, the women have said.

When the girls arrived at his Palm Beach, Fla., home, Epstein would have his chef offer them cereal, then have them sent up to his master bedroom, according to interviews dozens of accusers gave the Herald.

The teens, mainly ages 13 to 16, would find Epstein clad only in a towel, with a bottle of lotion next to him on the table, they said.

The girls would start massaging his back, then he would flip over, asking them to pinch his nipples while he masturbated, according to police documents.

Sometimes he would use a vibrator on them or engage in intercourse, the accusers said.

Afterward, Epstein would shower in his bathroom, furnished with a pink and green sofa, cops have said.

Joseph Recarey, then the lead detective on the case, told the Herald that authorities amassed a huge amount of evidence against Epstein, including the girls’ descriptions of the pedophile’s genitalia.
