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, identified as Jane Doe and Amy, are among a group seeking damages from the estate of the late Jeffrey Epstein over a collection of thousands of images and videos depicting child sexual abuse. The lawsuit, filed in Manhattan federal district court, seeks at least $6 million on behalf of over 40 individuals, including those featured in Epstein's "modeling book" and countless others found in downloaded pornography and other images seized from the financier's properties.

The plaintiffs claim the estate and its former attorney, Darren Indyke, and accountant, Richard Kahn, are responsible for exploiting the children depicted in the collection, as well as for allowing the materials to be distributed. The lawsuit, representing a potential class action of thousands of people, calls for the estate to compensate each class member $150,000 and imposes further penalties.
