New Mexico's attorney general filed a lawsuit Wednesday against two advisers to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in an effort to stop them from benefiting from Epstein's multi-million-dollar estate and accusing them of concealing his sex trafficking operation.
"Those resources rightfully belong in the hands of survivors," said Attorney General Raul Torrez during a press conference announcing the lawsuit.
Torrez accused Darren Indyke, Epstein's attorney, and Richard Kahn, Epstein's accountant, of being complicit in Epstein's sexual abuse of girls and young women at his Zorro Ranch near Santa Fe.
The lawsuit claims Indyke and Kahn were part of a criminal enterprise operation that "facilitated and/or knowingly participated in the targeting, recruitment, transportation, confinement, and sexual exploitation of vulnerable girls and young women for Epstein’s personal gratification and trafficking by him to other wealthy, influential men."
It seeks to stop the two men, who are co-executors of Epstein's estate, from benefiting from his trust that holds "in excess of $100 million."
"If anyone is entitled to a recovery of Jeffrey Epstein's estate, it's the survivors, the Epstein survivors who were targeted and trafficked here in New Mexico and beyond," Torrez said.
This is a developing story that will be updated.
