The estate of Jeffrey Epstein has agreed to pay up to $35m to settle the outstanding legal claims of potentially dozens of victims, according to a proposed court judgment filed on Thursday.
The settlement is related to victims who said they were “sexually assaulted or abused or trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein between January 1, 1995, and through August 10, 2019,” the date of the disgraced financier’s death in prison, the judgment said.
Epstein’s estate would pay $35m if there are 40 or more people eligible in the class and $25m if there are fewer than 40.
The deal, if approved by a judge, would bring an end to a 2024 lawsuit filed against Darren Indyke, Epstein’s former lawyer, and Richard Kahn, the paedophile financier’s former accountant.
