The estate of Jeffrey Epstein has agreed to a $35 million settlement concerning a class-action lawsuit that implicated two of his key advisers in facilitating his unlawful actions. The suit, which was particularly notable as it was filed in 2024, accused Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn, who served as Epstein’s lawyer and accountant, respectively, of aiding and abetting his sex trafficking operations involving underage women and girls.

The lawsuit's filing marks a continuation of the legal battles surrounding Epstein's estate, which has been a focal point for his numerous victims. The law firm representing these victims, Boies Schiller Flexner, announced that under the proposed settlement terms, Epstein’s estate would also be included as a defendant. This inclusion is seen as a significant step toward holding the estate accountable for the actions of its deceased owner, as it reflects a broader trend of seeking justice for victims of sexual abuse and trafficking.

The resolution of this case aims to provide closure for the victims who allege they were sexually assaulted or trafficked between 1995 and 2019. The settlement reinforces the continued scrutiny of Epstein's legacy, and while it represents a financial acknowledgment of the harm caused, many advocates argue that it still falls short of the systemic changes needed to effectively address and prevent such abuses in the future.
