A new lawsuit featuring nine new victims traces Jeffrey Epstein's abuses back to 1985 and claim that he allegedly targeted girls as young as 13.
Indyke and Kahn named lawyer Kenneth Feinberg to act as the fund's administrator. Feinberg previously oversaw distribution of payments on legal claims made during the September 11 attacks, the 2010 B.P. oil spill and claims on General Motors vehicles due to faulty ignition switches.
Jeffrey Epstein, a high-powered financier who counted many high-powered individuals among his friends and associates, first came under investigation in 2005, when a 14-year-old girl and her parents claimed Epstein molested her at a Palm Beach, Florida mansion. Federal prosecutors also found pictures of girls during a raid of his Manhattan home.to a"non-prosecution agreement" which would grant immunity to any named co-conspirators and seal all settlement terms with his accusers.
On July 6 he was arrested at a New Jersey airport on federal sex trafficking and sex trafficking conspiracy, an indictment that spanned alleged crimes from 2002 to 2005 and included accusations from girls as young as 15. Nine more women have come forward to accuse Jeffrey Epstein of assault, with one woman claiming that he began molesting her at the age of 13.at the time that any sexual encounters in which he took part were consensual, and that all parties were over the age of 18. He pleaded innocent to the sex trafficking charges but was denied bail.
On August 10, he was found dead in his cell at Manhattan Correctional Center. His death was ruled a suicide.
