Two women who were victims of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse have filed a class action lawsuit against his estate, seeking damages for the exploitation depicted in child sexual abuse material. The suit, filed on Wednesday in Manhattan federal district court, aims to compensate over 40 individuals, some featured in Epstein's "modeling book," and others in thousands of downloaded images and videos found posthumously at his properties. The plaintiffs are demanding at least $150,000 per class member from the estate and additional penalties.

Story summary
Two women have filed a lawsuit in the Southern District of New York against Jeffrey Epstein’s estate, claiming their photographs were part of his extensive collection of child pornography. The lawsuit seeks class-action status on behalf of all individuals whose images Epstein possessed and exploited without their consent. Identified only as Jane Doe and Amy, the plaintiffs allege that few victims have been informed by federal investigators about the presence of their photographs in Epstein's collection. The suit was filed Tuesday, seeking unspecified damages and requesting a court-supervised program to identify and notify other women involved. Additionally, lawyers representing the plaintiffs claim that Epstein, along with his associates, created a multi-decade conspiracy involving child sexual abuse material (CSAM) starting from the early 1990s until Epstein's death in 2019. Another lawsuit filed in Manhattan federal district court, aims to include over 40 people who were victims of Epstein’s exploitation through images and videos, seeking at least $6 million in damages. The lawsuit targets Epstein’s estate co-executors Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn for failing to address the distribution and possession of CSAM by Epstein's associates.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
