Jeffrey Epstein’s estate is facing a new lawsuit filed by two women who allege that Epstein possessed child sexual abuse material (CSAM) of them.
asserted
Epstein → face → them
They want a judge to order that a program be set up to identify and notify all individuals whose “unlawful sexualized images” might have been in Epstein’s collection, and are also seeking monetary damages.
uncertain
images → want → damages
The complaint was filed this week in the US district court for the southern district of New York on behalf of two plaintiffs, who are anonymous in the filing but described as survivors of Epstein’s child sexual abuse material crimes.
asserted
who → file → crimes
The lawsuit was filed against Epstein’s former lawyer Darren Indyke, and Epstein’s former accountant, Richard Kahn, who are being sued in their capacities as co-executors of Epstein’s estate.
asserted
who → file → estate
Attorneys for Indyke and Kahn, who have both said that they had no knowledge of Epstein’s crimes during their employment, did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the complaint on Wednesday.
asserted
they → say → Wednesday
The complaint claims that for more than two decades, Epstein, who died in a Manhattan jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges, possessed, transported, produced and distributed “child pornography and/or child sexual abuse material of countless children”.
uncertain
who → claim → children
It alleges that Epstein “acquired by theft” nude or partially nude images of the first plaintiff, referred to in the document as Jane Doe, and that Epstein transported the material across state lines and retained it.
asserted
Epstein → allege → it
The lawsuit argues that many of those depicted in the CSAM that they say was possessed by Epstein have never been identified or notified through the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children’s victim-identification program.
asserted
they → argue → program
With regard to the second plaintiff, identified in the complaint under the pseudonym “Amy”, the lawsuit alleges that “upon information and belief, Epstein acquired CSAM images” of her.
asserted
Epstein → identify → her
The complaint alleges that beginning in the 1990s, Epstein “created and kept” in his locked safe in his New York City home, a “‘modeling book’ of sexualized images of children”.
asserted
Epstein → allege → children
It further alleges that beginning in “at least in the 2000s, Epstein had his assistant take nude, sexualized photographs of multiple children, paid them for the images, and then used those photographs for his own sexual gratification and perhaps that of others.”
asserted
assistant → allege → others
Jane Doe alleges that she was around 12 years old when Epstein stole partially nude photographs of her, which the complaint claims had originally been taken “as part of an artist study for and catalogued, numbered and maintained by the artist in a lockbox”.
uncertain
which → allege → lockbox
The lawsuit alleges that Epstein also “stole nude or partially nude photos of another minor” and transported these images across state lines.
asserted
Epstein → allege → lines
The complaint also alleges that “despite contemporaneous reports made to law enforcement, specifically alerting law enforcement that Epstein had obtained these photos of Jane Doe, and similar photos of another minor, no one in law enforcement took action to prosecute anyone or even investigate these reports.”
asserted
one → allege → reports
It adds that “upon learning that Epstein had possessed sexualized images of her as a child, Jane Doe suffered and continues to suffer severe emotional distress.”
asserted
Doe → add → distress
“Amy” alleges in the complaint that she is a victim of “actively traded CSAM which has been in distribution since the late 1990s to present day”.
asserted
which → allege → day
The lawsuit alleges that “on information and belief” images of Amy are contained within the CSAM collection seized from Epstein’s properties.
asserted
images → allege → properties
In a statement to the Guardian, one of the lawyers representing the plaintiffs, Margaret Mabie of Marsh Law, said that according to the released files, a report completed on Epstein’s collection identified 15 or more hits of known series like Amy’s and that “to our knowledge, none of the victims identified in that report, or in any other CSAM discovered in Epstein’s collection, have ever received notice.”
uncertain
none → represent → notice
The complaint also alleges that other people, “including Epstein’s employees and/or coconspirators, had access to, viewed, or otherwise received from Epstein, the CSAM images in his possession, including images of Jane Doe and ‘Amy’.”
asserted
people → allege → Doe
The two plaintiffs are bringing the lawsuit both individually and on behalf of a proposed class of other survivors they seek to represent, who are described as “all persons who were under the age of 18 at the time they appeared in any visual depiction of child pornography, including CSAM, contained within any image, video, or electronic media collections seized from properties or devices controlled by Jeffrey E Epstein, including the media identified in the Epstein Files Transparency Act productions and the materials described in the July 6, 2026 FBI and DOJ Memorandum”.
asserted
they → bring → ”
In a statement this week, Hillary Nappi of AWK Survivor Advocate Attorneys, said that their goal with the lawsuit “is accountability and identification”.
asserted
goal → say → lawsuit
“We want the Estate to preserve and account for everything seized from Epstein’s properties, and we want a real, court supervised process to identify and notify every survivor depicted in that collection,” Nappi said.
asserted
Nappi → want → collection
“Many of them have no idea their images exist in his files, and they deserve to know, and they deserve the chance to seek justice.”
asserted
they → have → justice
“Survivors have waited years for accountability, and this case opens the door for others depicted in his collection who don’t even know they’re in it,” they added.
asserted
they → wait → it
