New Mexico sues Epstein's attorney and accountant over trafficking
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 21 Oct, 18:32 · Archive
New Mexico's attorney general has sued Jeffrey Epstein's attorney and accountant, accusing them of concealing his sex trafficking operation at a ranch.
New Mexico's attorney general filed a lawsuit Wednesday against Jeffrey Epstein's attorney Darren Indyke and accountant Richard Kahn, accusing them of concealing his sex trafficking operation at a sprawling ranch in Stanley, New Mexico, about 30 miles south of Santa Fe. The lawsuit seeks to stop them from accepting payments from Epstein's estate, estimated at more than $100 million.
Indyke worked as Epstein's attorney for roughly two decades. Both men have testified in Congress that they did not know about Epstein's abuse. Attorney General Raúl Torrez expressed a different view, saying Indyke and Kahn "stand to benefit substantially" from the estate unless a court intervenes. "Those resources rightfully belong in the hands of survivors," Torrez said.
Witness testimony at Ghislaine Maxwell's 2021 trial alleged she and Epstein had sexually abused women at the New Mexico ranch. Maxwell, Epstein's former girlfriend and close associate, is serving a 20-year prison sentence after her conviction on sex trafficking charges. Epstein died in a federal jail in New York City in August 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
