Is One of Epstein’s Co-Conspirators Suing His Estate?

A mystery woman is suing for Epstein’s cash, saying she’s “virtually bankrupt” from having to defend herself against accusations relating to the pedophile’s sex crimes.

Is one of Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged accomplices suing his estate for damages?

Earlier this month, Epstein’s accused madam Ghislaine Maxwell filed a lawsuit against his $600-million estate, saying she was receiving death threats and that the financier promised to always provide her with monetary support.

Now a mystery woman who spent time in Epstein’s orbit is also pursuing a case against the estate, saying her reputation has been ruined and that she’s “virtually bankrupt” from having to defend herself against “false accusations” relating to Epstein’s sex crimes.

The plaintiff, identified only as “Jane Doe,” quietly filed a federal lawsuit on March 17. She alleges Epstein sexually abused her starting when she was 22 years old in the early 2000s, and destroyed her reputation and career prospects.

The complaint, filed in the Southern District of New York, “seeks justice for the sexual crimes perpetrated against her by Jeffrey Epstein over the course of many years and for the abuse, manipulation and exploitation she suffered at his hands.”

“This lawsuit is about Jane Doe claiming her power, becoming a survivor, not a victim, and getting restitution for the sexual crimes perpetuated against her,” the complaint states.

Doe is represented by the law firm of Kaiser Saurborn & Mair, which also represents Jennifer

Araoz, who says Epstein started sexually abusing her when she was 14. One of Epstein’s facilitators recruited Araoz outside her performing-arts high school in Manhattan.

The lawyers who filed Doe’s complaint, Daniel J. Kaiser and William H. Kaiser, did not return messages left by The Daily Beast.

Doe’s complaint did not include a state or country of residence.

Still, some details about Doe’s lawsuit are raising eyebrows—in particular because the allegations seem to match up with at least one of Epstein’s alleged co-conspirators.

If this complaint was filed by one of his co-conspirators, who “played an outsized role in Jeffrey Epstein’s devastating abuse of minors for over a decade and profited handsomely including owning a company affiliated with Epstein, it is a brazen abuse of our civil justice system,” said Sigrid McCawley, a partner at Boies Schiller Flexner LLP who represents multiple victims of Epstein.
