DOE XIV, JANE DOE XV, JANE DOE XVI, JANE DOE XVII and JANE DOE XVIII

(collectively “Plaintiffs”) 1, by and through their attorneys at MERSON LAW, PLLC, and as

for their Verified Complaint in this action against Defendants DARREN K. INDYKE and

RICHARD D. KAHN, in their capacities as the executors of the ESTATE OF JEFFREY

EDWARD EPSTEIN (collectively “Defendants”), hereby allege the following:

NATURE OF THE CLAIMS

1. Jeffrey Edward Epstein (“Epstein”) sexually abused, assaulted and battered

many women and children, including Plaintiffs herein.

1 Plaintiffs use pseudonyms because they are victims of sex crimes pursuant to N.Y. Civ. Rights § 50-b and other
statutory and common law principles, as well as in accord with New York City, Child Victims Act Case
Management Order (CMO) 1.

NYSCEF DOC. NO. 1 RECEIVED NYSCEF: 08/13/2020

2. Now, these nine Plaintiffs come forward to stand up for themselves and others,

after they were sexually abused and assaulted by Epstein.

3. Some Plaintiffs were raped by Epstein, repeatedly.

4. Plaintiffs were all sexually battered, assaulted and abused by Epstein as a part

of the same conduct, occurrence, plan, scheme and/or transaction that was perpetrated,

conducted, organized and/or performed in New York, Florida, New Mexico, South Carolina,

California, the United States Virgin Islands and other places by Epstein and his associates.

5. Over the course of several decades, Epstein orchestrated a massive sex

trafficking network to obtain hundreds of underage girls and young women for not only his

sexual gratification, but also that of several other wealthy and/or powerful individuals within

his social network to whom he trafficked these same underage girls and young women to.

6. As expressed by United States District Judge Kenneth Marra in his opinion in

Doe v. United States, “From between 1999 and 2007, Jeffrey Epstein sexually abused more

than thirty minor girls ... at his mansion in Palm Beach, Florida, and elsewhere in the United

States and overseas ... In addition to his own sexual abuse of the victims, Epstein directed other

persons to abuse the girls sexually. Epstein used paid employees to find and bring minor girls

to him. Epstein worked in concert with others to obtain minors not only for his own sexual

gratification, but also for the sexual gratification of others.” See Doe v. United States, 359 F.

Supp. 3d 1201, 1204 (S.D. Fla. 2019) (internal citations omitted).

7. In performing the acts set forth above, Epstein committed multiple torts

including, but not limited to, sexual assault, sexual battery, intentional infliction of emotional

distress and negligent infliction of emotional distress pursuant to New York common law.

VENUE, JURISDICTION AND TIMELINESS

8. The Estate of Jeffrey Epstein (the “Estate”), which is being presided over by

Defendants, includes a residence in New York, New York, that was occupied by Jeffrey Epstein

before his death in August of 2019. While the residence is currently listed for sale for

$88,000,000, it has not been sold and is still part and parcel of the Estate.

9. Upon information and belief, this Court has personal jurisdiction over the Estate

of Jeffrey Epstein pursuant to New York Civil Practice Law and Rules (“C.P.L.R.”) Sections

301 and 302, and venue is proper in this Court pursuant to CPLR § 503, because Defendant

RICHARD D. KAHN, in his capacity as a co-executor of the ESTATE OF JEFFREY

EDWARD EPSTEIN is a resident of New York, and Defendants operate in New York, transact

business in New York, own, use or possess real property within New York and many of the acts

of sexual abuse referenced herein as part of Epstein’s nefarious plan and course of conduct

occurred in New York.

10. This action has been timely filed pursuant to CPLR § 214-g or The Child Victims

Act (“CVA”) which provides that a plaintiff, who was a child less than eighteen years of age

when a defendant committed unto them an act in violation of New York Penal Law Article 130,

shall have one year from August 14, 2019 to bring forth the previously time-barred claim

against said defendant.

11. Indeed, the actions described herein constitute sexual offenses by Epstein under

New York Penal Law Article 130 and were committed against Plaintiffs Jane Doe X, XIII, XIV,

XVI and XVIII when they were children less than eighteen years of age, for which they suffered

physical, psychological and other injuries as a result. As such, their claims are, are the very

least, brought timely pursuant to the CVA.

NYSCEF DOC. NO. 1 RECEIVED NYSCEF: 08/13/2020

12. In addition to CPLR § 214-g, this action has also been timely filed pursuant to

CPLR § 215(8)(a) which provides that, “[w]henever it is shown that a criminal action against

the same defendant has been commenced with respect to the event or occurrence from which a

claim governed by this section arises [i.e. assault and battery], the plaintiff shall have at least

one year from the termination of the criminal action as defined in section 1.20 of the criminal

procedure law in which to commence the civil action...”

13. As it pertains to CPLR § 215(8)(a), a criminal action against Epstein with respect

to the same events or occurrences from which Plaintiffs’ claims arise, namely his sex trafficking

and/or sexual abuse of underage girls and young women, was terminated on August 29, 2019

shortly after Epstein committed suicide in the Metropolitan Correctional Center while awaiting

trial.

14. Furthermore, any statute of limitations that would otherwise be applicable to

Plaintiffs’ claims herein is tolled in accord with the doctrine of equitable estoppel based on the

continuous and active deception, duress, fraud, threats of retaliation and other forms of

misconduct that Epstein and his co-conspirators used to silence his victims, including Plaintiffs,

as set forth below. At a minimum, this conduct by Epstein and his co-conspirators deprived

Plaintiffs of their legal right and opportunity to commence this lawsuit before Epstein’s death.

15. Accordingly, Defendants are equitably estopped from asserting a statute of

limitations defense. Allowing Defendants to do so would be unjust. Epstein and his co-

conspirators repeatedly intimidated his victims, including Plaintiffs, into silence by threatening

not only their lives and livelihoods, but the lives and livelihoods of their close family and

friends. Therefore, Epstein and his co-conspirators prevented Plaintiffs from commencing this

lawsuit before his death. By using threats in accompaniment with his wealth and power, Epstein

NYSCEF DOC. NO. 1 RECEIVED NYSCEF: 08/13/2020

was able to escape punishment for his abhorrent brutal and perverse crimes against countless

underage girls and young women, including plaintiffs, for the duration of his life.

16. Plaintiffs intend to take full discovery of the Estate and all associates, family

members and/or friends associated to the same to determine who knew what and when.

17. At all material times herein mentioned, Epstein, and his associates, operated,

transacted business, owned, used, maintained and/or possessed real and other property,

equipment and apparatus within New York, which he utilized as the base of his operations for

his sexual exploitation of underage girls and young women, including Plaintiffs herein.

PARTIES

18. Plaintiffs, victims of sex trafficking and sexual abuse, have been identified by

pseudonym because this matter is of a highly sensitive and personal nature, and public

disclosure of their identities may subject them to further humiliation, shame, and emotional

distress.

19. Plaintiff Jane Doe X is a resident and domiciliary of Tennessee.

20. Plaintiff Jane Doe XI is a resident and domiciliary of New Jersey.

21. Plaintiff Jane Doe XII is a resident and domiciliary of Connecticut.

22. Plaintiff Jane Doe XIII is a resident and domiciliary of Florida.

23. Plaintiff Jane Doe XIV is a resident and domiciliary of Tennessee.

24. Plaintiff Jane Doe XV is a resident and domiciliary of Florida.

25. Plaintiff Jane Doe XVI is a resident and domiciliary of California.

26. Plaintiff Jane Doe XVII is a resident and domiciliary of Missouri.

27. Plaintiff Jane Doe XVIII is a resident and domiciliary of California.

28. Upon information and belief, Defendants are successors-in-interest and/or

obligors to Epstein’s assets, obligations and/or responsibilities. Upon further information and

belief, the Estate maintained multiple properties in the United States including, but not limited

to, New York, New York, Palm Beach, Florida and New Mexico.

29. Darren K. Indyke, a resident and domiciliary of Florida, is sued in his capacity

as appointed executor of the Estate of Jeffrey Edward Epstein.

30. Richard D. Kahn, a resident and domiciliary of New York, is sued in his capacity

as appointed executor of the Estate of Jeffrey Edward Epstein.

FACTS OF THE CASE

31. In or about 1987, and continuing for a period of time thereafter, when Plaintiff

Jane Doe X was approximately fifteen years old, Epstein and his associates sexually assaulted,

abused, battered and raped her several dozen times.

32. As a result of the aforementioned sexual abuse, Plaintiff Jane Doe X suffered,

and continues to suffer from severe and serious injuries including, but not limited to, severe

emotional distress and physical manifestations thereof.

33. In or about 2002, Epstein repeatedly sexually abused Plaintiff Jane Doe XI

including molesting and penetrating her, and on one occasion, forced her to perform oral sex

on him.

34. As a result of the aforementioned sexual abuse, Plaintiff Jane Doe XI suffered,

and continues to suffer from severe and serious injuries including, but not limited to, severe

emotional distress and physical manifestations thereof.

35. Furthermore, any statute of limitations that would otherwise be applicable to

Plaintiff Jane Doe XI’s claims herein is tolled in accord with the doctrine of equitable estoppel

FILED: NEW YORK COUNTY CLERK 08/13/2020 11:47 PM INDEX NO. 950613/2020
NYSCEF DOC. NO. 1 RECEIVED NYSCEF: 08/13/2020

based on the continuous and active deception, duress, fraud, threats of retaliation and other

forms of misconduct that Epstein and his co-conspirators used to silence her. Specifically,

throughout the duration of the abuse in 2002, Epstein would repeatedly and specifically threaten

Plaintiff, and tell her that if she told anyone about what he was doing to her, she would be

putting not only her, but also her family’s safety and well-being at risk. Epstein also knew that

Plaintiff’s father owned and operated a business and would tell Plaintiff that if she told anyone

about what was happening to her, he would make sure the business was destroyed.

36. Accordingly, Defendants are equitably estopped from asserting a statute of

limitations defense as to Plaintiff Jane Doe XI’s claims because, at a minimum, this conduct by

Epstein and his co-conspirators deprived Plaintiff of her legal right and opportunity to

commence this lawsuit before Epstein’s death.

37. In or about 1991, when Plaintiff Jane Doe XII was approximately twenty-two

years old, Epstein fondled, groped and molested her.

38. As a result of the aforementioned sexual abuse, Plaintiff Jane Doe XII suffered,

and continues to suffer from severe and serious injuries including, but not limited to, severe

emotional distress and physical manifestations thereof.

39. Furthermore, any statute of limitations that would otherwise be applicable to

Plaintiff Jane Doe XII’s claims herein is tolled in accord with the doctrine of equitable estoppel

based on the continuous and active deception, duress, fraud, threats of retaliation and other

forms of misconduct that Epstein and his co-conspirators used to silence her, including that in

1991, Epstein’s associate that recruited her told Plaintiff after she was abused that she should

never tell anyone about what had happened to her as nobody would believe her word over that

of an extraordinarily wealthy and well-connected man like Epstein, and that anyone who

crossed Epstein always regretted it.

40. Accordingly, Defendants are equitably estopped from asserting a statute of

limitations defense as to Plaintiff Jane Doe XII’s claims because, at a minimum, this conduct

by Epstein and his co-conspirators deprived Plaintiff of her legal right and opportunity to

commence this lawsuit before Epstein’s death.

41. In or about 1993, when Plaintiff Jane Doe XIII was approximately eleven years

old, Epstein sexually assaulted, abused, battered and digitally penetrated her on three, separate

occasions. Epstein also forced Plaintiff to perform oral sex on him.

42. As a result of the aforementioned sexual abuse, Plaintiff Jane Doe XIII suffered,

and continues to suffer from severe and serious injuries including, but not limited to, severe

emotional distress and physical manifestations thereof.

43. In or about 1978, and continuing for a period of time thereafter, when Plaintiff

Jane Doe XIV was approximately thirteen years old, Epstein sexually assaulted, abused,

battered and raped her multiple times.

44. As a result of the aforementioned sexual abuse, Plaintiff Jane Doe XIV suffered,

and continues to suffer from severe and serious injuries including, but not limited to, severe

emotional distress and physical manifestations thereof.

45. In or about 2004, when Plaintiff Jane Doe XV was approximately thirty-two

years old, Epstein sexually assaulted, abused, battered and raped her.

46. As a result of the aforementioned sexual abuse, Plaintiff Jane Doe XV suffered,

and continues to suffer from severe and serious injuries including, but not limited to, severe

emotional distress and physical manifestations thereof.

47. Furthermore, any statute of limitations that would otherwise be applicable to

Plaintiff Jane Doe XV’s claims herein is tolled in accord with the doctrine of equitable estoppel

based on the continuous and active deception, duress, fraud, threats of retaliation and other

forms of misconduct that Epstein and his co-conspirators used to silence her. Specifically, after

Plaintiff informed the associate of Epstein’s who had recruited her that Epstein had just forcibly

raped her, the associate directly threatened Plaintiff and told her that she should leave Epstein’s

home immediately, and that if she told anyone about what had just happened to her, she would

come to regret it.

48. Accordingly, Defendants are equitably estopped from asserting a statute of

limitations defense as to Plaintiff Jane Doe XV’s claims because, at a minimum, this conduct

by Epstein and his co-conspirators deprived Plaintiff of her legal right and opportunity to

commence this lawsuit before Epstein’s death.

49. In or about 2000, when Plaintiff Jane Doe XVI was approximately seventeen

years old, Epstein sexually assaulted, abused, battered and raped her on at least three, separate

occasions.

50. As a result of the aforementioned sexual abuse, Plaintiff Jane Doe XVI suffered,

and continues to suffer from severe and serious injuries including, but not limited to, severe

emotional distress and physical manifestations thereof.

51. In or about 2001, and continuing for a period of time thereafter up to and

including 2002, when Plaintiff Jane Doe XVII was approximately twenty-five years-old,

Epstein repeatedly sexually assaulted, abused and battered her

52. As a result of the aforementioned sexual abuse, Plaintiff Jane Doe XVII suffered,

and continues to suffer from severe and serious injuries including, but not limited to, severe

emotional distress and physical manifestations thereof.

53. Furthermore, any statute of limitations that would otherwise be applicable to

Plaintiff Jane Doe XVII’s claims herein is tolled in accord with the doctrine of equitable

estoppel based on the continuous and active deception, duress, fraud, threats of retaliation and

other forms of misconduct that Epstein and his co-conspirators used to silence her.

54. Accordingly, Defendants are equitably estopped from asserting a statute of

limitations defense as to Plaintiff Jane Doe XVII’s claims because, at a minimum, this conduct

by Epstein and his co-conspirators deprived Plaintiff of her legal right and opportunity to

commence this lawsuit before Epstein’s death.

55. In or about 2003, when Plaintiff Jane Doe XVIII was approximately thirteen

years old, Epstein sexually assaulted, abused, battered and raped her.

56. As a result of the aforementioned sexual abuse, Plaintiff Jane Doe XVIII

suffered, and continues to suffer from severe and serious injuries including, but not limited to,

severe emotional distress and physical manifestations thereof.
