Epstein abuse victims sue estate over child abuse image archive, seeking $6 m. in damages
The lawsuit seeks at least $6 million on behalf of more than 40 people, some of whom were in Epstein's so-called "modeling book," a seized collection of sexualized images of children.
Two women whose images as girls were found in pornography seized from the late Jeffrey Epstein have filed a class action lawsuit against his estate seeking at least $6 million in damages. The lawsuit, filed in Manhattan federal district court, seeks damages on behalf of over 40 individuals, some of whom were featured in Epstein's "modeling book," a collection of sexualized images of children seized by federal investigators in 2019 from his New York home.
Additionally, the lawsuit targets those who were shown in thousands of downloaded videos and images of child sexual abuse material and other pornography taken from Epstein's properties. The plaintiffs, represented by attorney Hillary Nappi, argue that Epstein's abuse extends beyond sexual assaults, encompassing exploitation through the distribution of images.
If successful, the lawsuit could potentially involve thousands of class members and aims to hold Epstein's estate and federal authorities accountable for identifying and informing individuals featured in the collection.
