From Woman sues Jeffrey Epstein estate, saying she was abused at age 14
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleNEW YORK — A woman whose claims of sexual abuse against financier Jeffrey Epstein are outlined in a federal indictment has sued his estate, describing abuse from age 14 to 17.
The lawsuit is filed today in Manhattan federal court on behalf of a woman only identified as “Jane Doe.” The lawsuit says she is “Minor Victim-1” in federal sex trafficking charges that led to Epstein’s July 6 arrest.
Epstein killed himself in jail in August while awaiting trial for sex trafficking charges.
According to the lawsuit, the woman suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and depression as a result of sexual abuse she endured from 2002 to 2005 at Epstein’s Manhattan mansion.
The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages.
