摘要
- 法庭文件显示，这场诉讼为40余名受害者寻求至少600万美元赔偿
- 原告方请求法院责令爱泼斯坦遗产向集体诉讼成员每人支付15万美元
- 爱泼斯坦生前从未因儿童色情材料相关指控被起诉
9月16日（路透社）——两名女性周三提起集体诉讼，要求已故性犯罪者杰弗里·爱泼斯坦的遗产对其数千张儿童色情图片和视频藏品中的受害者作出赔偿，她们童年时的照片就出现在从爱泼婆斯坦处查获的色情物品中。
曼哈顿联邦地区法院提交的文件显示，这场诉讼代表40余名受害者寻求至少600万美元赔偿，其中部分受害者出现在爱泼斯坦所谓的“模特相册”中——这是联邦调查人员2019年从他纽约住所查获的儿童性化图像合集。

诉讼文件显示，另有受害者出现在从这位已故金融家住所查获的超过1万份下载的儿童色情材料和其他色情图片与视频中。
爱泼斯坦2008年因引诱未成年人发生性行为被定罪，2019年被指控贩运未成年人。但他从未因制作、获取和传播供自己及他人使用的儿童色情材料遭到起诉。
这场诉讼的被告是爱泼斯坦的前律师达伦·因迪克和前会计师理查德·卡恩，二人是爱泼斯坦遗产的共同执行人。代表因迪克的律师丹尼尔·韦纳拒绝置评。卡恩的律师未立即回应置评请求。
其中一名原告以化名“珍妮·多伊”提起诉讼，称爱泼斯坦盗取了她12岁时拍摄的半裸照片。另一名原告使用化名“艾米”，称自己出现在2019年从爱泼斯坦住所查获的儿童色情材料中，这些材料目前仍在被传播。
诉讼请求法院启动程序，通知所有出现在爱泼斯坦藏品中的受害者，并责令其遗产向集体诉讼成员每人支付15万美元，同时支付其他经济罚款。

Summary
Lawsuit seeks at least $6 mln for more than 40 people, court filing shows
Plaintiffs ask court to order estate pay class members $150,000 each
The late Epstein was never prosecuted over child sexual abuse material
Sept 16 (Reuters) – Two women whose images as girls were found in pornography seized from Jeffrey Epstein filed a class action lawsuit on Wednesday seeking damages from the late sex offender’s estate for individuals featured in his collection of thousands of pictures and videos of child sexual abuse material.
The lawsuit seeks at least $6 million on behalf of more than 40 people, some of whom were in Epstein’s so-called “modeling book,” a collection of sexualized images of children seized by federal investigators in 2019 from his New York home, according to the filing in Manhattan federal district court.

Others were shown in over ten thousand downloaded videos and images of child sexual abuse material and other pornography taken from the late financier’s properties, according to the action.
Epstein was convicted of soliciting sex from a minor in 2008 and charged with sex trafficking of minors in 2019. He was never prosecuted for creating, obtaining and distributing child sexual abuse material for himself and others.
The lawsuit was filed against Epstein’s former attorney Darren Indyke and his former accountant Richard Kahn, the co-executors of the Epstein estate. Daniel Weiner, a lawyer representing Indyke, declined to comment. An attorney for Kahn did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
One of the plaintiffs, identified as Jane Doe, alleges Epstein stole partially nude photographs of her taken when she was 12. The other, using the pseudonym “Amy,” says she is featured in child sexual abuse material seized from Epstein’s properties in 2019 that is still being traded.
The lawsuit asks the court to create a program to notify people pictured in Epstein’s collection and order his estate to pay class action members $150,000 each, as well as other financial penalties.
