Women Sue Epstein Estate Over Child Porn Pics

Jeffrey Epstein's estate is facing a new lawsuit that targets what accusers call one of his least-addressed crimes: his alleged trove of child sexual abuse images. Filed in federal court in Manhattan, the proposed class action comes from two women identified as "Jane Doe" and "Amy," who say their photos were found among Epstein's seized materials but that they—and "countless" others—were never notified, per NBC News. The suit seeks a court-supervised process to locate and inform every person whose "unlawful sexualized images" were allegedly in Epstein's possession, including a "modeling book" kept in a safe.

The complaint also seeks at least $6 million for 40-plus people, meaning each recipient would receive about $150,000, reports Reuters. Ars Technica notes that survivors would also like the court to award punitive damages. Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn, Epstein's longtime lawyer and his accountant, are named as defendants as co-executors of his estate, per NBC; there's been no comment from their legal teams. No child pornography charges were ever brought against Epstein before his 2019 death in prison.
