Epstein Estate Agrees to Settle Victim Claims for Up to $35 Mn

The estate of convicted US sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has agreed to pay up to $35 million to settle the outstanding legal claims of potentially dozens of victims, according to a court filing Thursday. 

The agreement must be approved by a federal judge in New York before it can become final. 

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 proposed plan said.

Epstein's estate would pay $35 million if there are 40 or more people eligible in the class and $25 million if there are fewer than 40. The co-executors of the settlement are Darren Indyke, Epstein's former lawyer, and Richard Kahn, the financier's former accountant.
