Women expected to sue Jeffrey Epstein's estate over sexual abuse claims via SABCNewsOnline

are expected to sue the disgraced financier’s estate as soon as Wednesday, when a New York law goes into effect that makes it easier for people to file civil lawsuits over sexual abuse. Epstein, 66, was found unresponsive Saturday morning in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Centre in Manhattan, having apparently hanged himself, according to federal prison authorities.

Epstein, who once counted Republican President Donald Trump and Democratic former President Bill Clinton as friends, was arrested on 6 July and pleaded not guilty to charges of sex trafficking involving dozens of underage girls between 2002 and 2005. Prosecutors said he recruited girls to give him massages, which became sexual in nature.

US Attorney General William Barr on Tuesday ordered the transfer of the warden at the MCC after condemning “serious irregularities” at the facility.Barr also said the criminal investigation into Epstein’s alleged sex trafficking and the role of possible co-conspirators would continue.A document filed by Epstein’s lawyers in July listed his total assets at about $559 million, including two private islands and four homes.

Another lawsuit could come from Jennifer Araoz, a woman who said in an interview aired on NBC in July that she was recruited outside her New York City school to spend time with Epstein and eventually give him massages, when she was 14.
