Jeffrey Epstein's estate is facing a new lawsuit filed by two women who allege that Epstein possessed child sexual abuse material of them — and asking a judge to order a program that would identify and notify all individuals whose unlawful sexualized images might have been in Epstein's collection. The complaint was filed this week in the US district court for the southern district of New York on behalf of two anonymous plaintiffs described as survivors of Epstein's CSAM crimes. It targets Epstein's former lawyer Darren Indyke and former accountant Richard Kahn, sued in their capacities as co-executors of the estate. Both men have previously said they had no knowledge of Epstein's crimes during their employment; their attorneys did not immediately respond to a request for comment. ## More Than Two Decades of Material 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 sexual abuse material of countless children. It alleges that Epstein acquired by theft nude or partly nude images of the first plaintiff, referred to as Jane Doe, transported the material across state lines and retained it. Beginning in the 1990s, the complaint says, Epstein created and kept in his locked safe at his New York City home a modeling book of sexualized images of children. From at least the 2000s, it alleges, Epstein had his assistant take nude, sexualized photographs of multiple children, paid them for the images, and used those photographs for his own sexual gratification. Jane Doe alleges she was around 12 years old when Epstein stole photographs of her partly nude — images originally taken as part of an artist study and catalogued in a lockbox. The complaint says that despite contemporaneous reports to law enforcement specifically alerting them that Epstein had obtained these photos, no one in law enforcement took action to prosecute anyone or even investigate the reports. The second plaintiff, under the pseudonym Amy, alleges she is a victim of actively traded CSAM which has been in distribution since the late 1990s to the present day, and says on information and belief that images of her are contained in the collection seized from Epstein's properties. ## Survivors Who Have Never Been Told The core of the lawsuit is a notification gap. It argues that many of those depicted in the CSAM possessed by Epstein have never been identified or notified through the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children's victim-identification program. In a statement to the Guardian, Margaret Mabie, one of the plaintiffs' lawyers at Marsh Law, said a report completed on Epstein's collection identified 15 or more hits of known series like Amy's. "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," Mabie said. The complaint further alleges that other people, including Epstein's employees and coconspirators, had access to, viewed, or otherwise received the CSAM images in his possession, including images of Jane Doe and Amy. ## A Proposed Class of Unnamed Survivors The two plaintiffs are bringing the suit individually and on behalf of a proposed class: all persons who were under 18 when they appeared in any visual depiction of child pornography contained within collections seized from Epstein's properties or devices — including material identified in the Epstein Files Transparency Act productions and described in the July 6, 2026 FBI and justice department memorandum. "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," said Hillary Nappi of AWK Survivor Advocate Attorneys in a statement this week. "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." "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," Nappi added. ## Why Notification, Not Just Money The distinction matters legally. Epstein's estate has already paid hundreds of millions through a compensation fund for survivors of his abuse — but that process compensated people who came forward. This lawsuit attacks the opposite problem: survivors the estate has never identified, whose images sit in seized collections without anyone telling them they exist. The demand for a court-supervised notification program would also freeze the estate's ability to distribute remaining assets quietly. If the judge grants the requested order, Indyke and Kahn would be obliged to preserve and account for everything seized from Epstein's properties before any further disbursements — turning the co-executors from administrators of a settled estate into defendants in an open-ended identification process. The suit also lands amid fresh scrutiny of the fund itself: a woman pleaded guilty Wednesday to fraudulently obtaining 750,000 dollars from the Epstein victims fund in a separate case. Survivors' lawyers say the combination — a fund that paid claims, a files transparency law, and a FBI-justice department memorandum this July — has finally produced the paper trail this lawsuit needs to demand the one thing that has never happened: telling every person in the collection that their image was found.
