New york: Two women have initiated a federal lawsuit against the estate of Jeffrey Epstein, alleging that their photographs were discovered within his extensive collection of child pornography. According to Anadolu Agency, the lawsuit was filed on Tuesday in the Southern District of New York and claims that 'few if any' individuals whose photos were found in Epstein's possession have been informed that these images are now in the hands of federal investigators.

Identified only as Jane Doe and Amy in court documents, the plaintiffs are seeking class-action status and unspecified damages. The lawsuit demands the court to 'design and supervise a single, coordinated program for identifying and notifying' other women whose 'unlawful sexualized images' were part of Epstein's collection. The lawsuit details Epstein's involvement in a multi-decade conspiracy related to child sexual abuse material (CSAM), highlighting his role in the possession, production, and distribution of such material.

The legal action further alleges that Epstein maintained a 'modeling book' with 'sexualized images of children' secured in a locked safe. Despite this, no charges related to CSAM were filed against Epstein. The lawsuit suggests that Epstein and unnamed collaborators misrepresented the images as being for the development of child models for Victoria's Secret.

Hillary Nappi, a lawyer with AWK Survivor Advocate Attorneys, stated, "This lawsuit holds Jeffrey Epstein's estate accountable for a crime that has never been fully addressed on its own terms." Named as defendants in the lawsuit are Darren Indyke and Richard Khan, co-executors of Epstein's estate. Their attorney, Daniel Weiner, declined to comment on the matter.

Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide in 2019 while he was awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
