Three More Women Detail Epstein Abuse Allegations in New Lawsuits
Three more women have filed lawsuits against Jeffrey Epstein’s estate, claiming the late financier and convicted sex offender sexually abused them before and after his 2008 conviction on child solicitation, CBS reports.
The three women were identified as “Lisa Doe,” “Katlyn Doe” and “Priscilla Doe,” and their suits contain a broad range of disturbing allegations against Epstein. Lisa claimed Epstein “unexpectedly used a sex toy” on her, while Katlyn alleged that Epstein forced her to marry one of his female recruiters, a non-U.S. citizen, so that the recruiter could stay in the country and continue working for him. Priscilla’s lawsuit notably described meeting powerful people in Epstein’s orbit, including the sultan of Dubai and Woody Allen, though no allegations were made against either.
As Reuters notes, the three new lawsuits bring the total number of civil cases against Epstein’s estate to at least five, since he died by suicide in jail on August 10th. It’s unclear how much the three new accusers are seeking in damages, though Epstein’s estate is reportedly worth over $577 million according to a will he signed in the U.S. Virgin Islands two days before his death.
Stan Pottinger, an attorney representing multiple Epstein accusers, including the three new ones, told CBS that the lawsuits were not so much about the money but “hold[ing] the Epstein organization to account first.”
