Two women sue Jeffrey Epstein's estate for US$100 mln over alleged sex abuse

NEW YORK - Two women who said they were recruited 15 years ago to provide massages to Jeffrey Epstein, only to be later sexually molested by him at his Manhattan mansion, have filed a US$100 million lawsuit against the financier's estate.

Prior to his death, Epstein had pleaded not guilty in July to charges of sex trafficking involving dozens of underage girls from 2002 and 2005. It is not known if Epstein had a will. His lawyers last month estimated his assets at about US$559 million, including two private islands and four homes, and said his mansion on Manhattan's Upper East Side was alone worth US$77 million.

According to the complaint, Roe offered the plaintiffs hundreds of dollars each to massage Epstein at his Manhattan mansion. The plaintiffs said they were unaware they were victims of Epstein's alleged sex-trafficking scheme until last month when he was arrested.On Wednesday, Jennifer Araoz, 32, sued Epstein's estate in a New York state court in Manhattan, saying Epstein sexually abused her when she was 14.
