Epstein abuse victims sue estate over child abuse image archive, seeking $6 m. in damages

Two women have filed a class-action lawsuit against Jeffrey Epstein's estate, seeking at least $6 million in damages for over 40 individuals whose images as children were found in his collection of child sexual abuse material. The lawsuit, filed in Manhattan federal district court, targets Epstein's former attorney Darren Indyke and accountant Richard Kahn, co-executors of the estate. It aims to expand legal action beyond sexual assault victims to include those exploited through images taken by Epstein or his associates, some of which were distributed. One plaintiff, "Jane Doe," alleges Epstein stole partially nude photos of her at age 12, while another, "Amy," states she is featured in material still being traded. The lawsuit calls for the estate and federal authorities to collaborate with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to identify and inform victims, requesting $150,000 for each class member.
