A fund to compensate victims of Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuse may begin making payouts soon, after the deceased financier's estate, his accusers and the attorney general of the U.S. Virgin Islands resolved their differences over the process.
NEW YORK - A fund to compensate victims of Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse may begin making payouts soon, after the deceased financier’s estate, his accusers and the attorney general of the U.S. Virgin Islands resolved their differences over the process.
The accord came 9-1/2 months after Epstein killed himself in a Manhattan jail while awaiting trial on sexual abuse and sex trafficking charges. The Virgin Islands probate court, which is handling the estate, must still sign off on the fund. They drew objections from victims’ lawyers who said they had not been consulted, and from Virgin Islands Attorney General Denise George, who resisted requiring victims to sign broad releases that could block them from suing Epstein’s associates.
“My office will forcefully continue its work to hold accountable Epstein’s criminal enterprise,” George, who announced the agreement, said in a statement.
