Epstein survivors sue his estate over child pornography collection
The women seek at least $6 million and a court-supervised notice program for more than 40 alleged victims.
Two women filed a class-action lawsuit on Tuesday in Manhattan federal district court against Jeffrey Epstein's estate, seeking damages for possession of child sexual abuse material featuring them and over 40 others.
The lawsuit claims Epstein kept a "modeling book" and thousands of child sexual abuse images, yet federal authorities failed to identify or notify most victims depicted in the seized collection.
Seeking at least $6 million for more than 40 victims, the complaint asks the estate to pay $150,000 to each class member and establish a court-supervised identification program.
Hillary Nappi of AWK Survivor Advocate Attorneys said the suit holds the estate accountable for crimes that have "never been fully addressed on its own terms," while calling for federal assistance identifying survivors.
Although Epstein died in 2019 without facing child sexual abuse material charges, the lawsuit aims to broaden legal reckoning for victims whose pictures remain in active circulation.
