New Mexico Files Lawsuit Against Epstein’s Lawyer and Accountant for Concealment
New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez has filed a lawsuit against Jeffrey Epstein's lawyer and accountant, accusing them of concealing his sex trafficking activities.
SANTA FE, Oct 22: The New Mexico Attorney General has initiated a civil lawsuit against Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn, longtime associates of Jeffrey Epstein, accusing them of facilitating and concealing his sex crimes. This legal action was filed under the federal Trafficking Victims Protection Act and the New Mexico Racketeering Act in the US District Court for New Mexico.
Raúl Torrez, the Attorney General, claims that Indyke and Kahn profited from Epstein’s $635 million estate while impeding victims’ efforts to seek justice. He stated, “Those resources rightfully belong in the hands of survivors… for participation in what I think is one of the most horrific criminal enterprises in modern America.” The lawsuit seeks to prevent the two men from receiving any payments from Epstein’s estate during the proceedings.
According to the complaint, both men played significant roles in Epstein’s illicit activities, receiving substantial salaries for their silence and complicity. Indyke has reportedly received over $16 million from Epstein-related entities from 2011 to 2019, while Kahn received more than $10 million.
Indyke and Kahn have denied the allegations, asserting they were unaware of Epstein’s criminal actions. Daniel Weiner, their attorney, stated they “emphatically reject” claims of complicity, emphasizing that no allegations of abuse against them exist. He criticized the Attorney General’s office for failing to consult with them before filing the lawsuit and maintaining that they cooperated with all investigations.
The lawsuit also comes amid an ongoing investigation by New Mexico authorities into Epstein’s activities at Zorro Ranch, where several survivors have alleged abuse. Torrez has accused federal authorities of hindering state investigations into Epstein, seeking access to unredacted files related to the case.
Survivors of Epstein’s abuse have expressed support for the lawsuit, advocating for accountability among those who facilitated his crimes. Anouska De Georgiou, a survivor, thanked Torrez for his commitment, asserting, “We have carried this burden for long enough.” Another survivor, Julia Molchanova, emphasized, “This lawsuit seeks answers about the people who helped him and the roles they played.”
The case remains active as New Mexico continues its quest for justice for Epstein’s victims and scrutiny of the associates who may have enabled his crimes.
