Women sue Epstein’s estate, saying their photos were found in his vast child porn collection

Key Points:

• Two women, identified only as Jane Doe and Amy, filed a federal class-action lawsuit against Jeffrey Epstein’s estate, alleging their photographs were found in his collection of child pornography and that most victims have not been notified by federal investigators.
• The lawsuit claims Epstein and co-conspirators maintained a “modeling book” with sexualized images of children, which was kept in a locked safe, and disputes Epstein’s defense that the images were for developing child models for Victoria’s Secret.
• The plaintiffs seek damages and court supervision to identify and notify all survivors depicted in Epstein’s collection, asserting that law enforcement failed to act on reports about the images and that many victims remain unaware their photos exist in the files.
• Epstein died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges; his co-executors, lawyer Darren Indyke and accountant Richard Kahn, are named as defendants in the lawsuit, which also highlights ongoing concerns about the preservation and accountability of seized materials.
• The case follows prior legal actions involving Epstein’s co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell, who was convicted in 2021 for sex trafficking minors and is serving a 20-year prison sentence.
