Epstein Victim From Criminal Case Sues His Estate After Charges Vacated
After millionaire sex offender Jeffrey Epstein killed himself in a Manhattan jail cell last month, and the charges against him were dropped, many of his victims felt that they would never see justice. Now, one of the women he was charged with preying on is suing his estate.
The woman named in the indictment as Victim-1 filed suit in federal court on Wednesday, claiming Epstein’s associates recruited her at approximately age 14 and called on her to give the financier sexual “massages” until she was 17. As a result, the accuser says she never finished high school, suffers from panic attacks, and is “unable to form healthy emotional relationships with men.”
The lawsuit names as defendants Epstein’s longtime lawyers Darren Indyke and Richard D. Kahn, who he appointed as executors of his estate in his will. At least four other accusers have filed lawsuits against the millionaire’s estate since he killed himself.
