"We Failed to Deliver Truth": AG Torrez Strikes Epstein Enablers with Brutal New Lawsuit

New Mexico Lawsuit Against Epstein Estate Executors

New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez announced a civil lawsuit in U.S. District Court against Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn, co-executors of Jeffrey Epstein’s estate. Torrez said the estate holds more than $100 million and asked the court to block distributions from the trust while the case proceeds. He argued that survivors, rather than people alleged to have helped Epstein, should have a claim to the remaining assets.

The complaint alleges that Indyke and Kahn helped facilitate Epstein’s trafficking and abuse by organizing corporate structures, arranging payments, and concealing the enterprise’s operations. Torrez said the state intends to pursue claims under federal human-trafficking law and New Mexico’s racketeering law. These are allegations in a civil case, not findings of liability.

Torrez cited the 2011 transfer of ownership of Zorro Ranch to an Epstein-controlled company as one example of the defendants’ alleged involvement. He said the complaint does not claim that the transfer violated state business regulations.

Relationship to Other Investigations and Lawsuits

Torrez said the civil lawsuit is separate from New Mexico’s ongoing criminal investigation. He described it as a way to seek compensation for survivors and accountability for alleged facilitators, while the state continues to seek access to Epstein’s complete, unredacted files.

Torrez said much of the information underpinning the complaint comes from survivors’ accounts, rather than solely from publicly available files. The Justice Department has moved to dismiss a separate lawsuit seeking access to those records, and New Mexico plans to respond.

Survivors’ Statements

Survivors Anushka De Giorgio and Yulia (Julia) Mulchinova supported the lawsuit. They said Epstein did not act alone and that those who knowingly enabled his abuse should not profit from his estate. They also spoke about the lasting effects of the abuse and the importance of pursuing answers and accountability.

Torrez said six survivors had provided statements in support of the lawsuit. He declined to specify which survivors were connected to Zorro Ranch, citing the ongoing criminal investigation.

Questions and Additional Remarks

In response to reporters, Torrez described the suit as the first state-led action of its kind against the two men, while noting that victims may have brought earlier litigation. He also said the civil case will have a separate legal team and methods from the criminal investigation.

After the formal questions, a speaker praised Torrez and his team for prioritizing survivors’ safety and interests.
