The New Mexico attorney general’s office has initiated a civil lawsuit against Darren Indyke, Epstein’s personal attorney, and Richard Kahn, his longtime accountant. The complaint alleges that both men played a direct role in facilitating and concealing Epstein’s sex trafficking operation, which included the abuse of young women and girls at a ranch located in New Mexico.

The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Mexico, names Indyke and Kahn as defendants in both their individual capacities and as co-executors of Epstein’s estate. The legal action seeks to prevent the two men from receiving further payments from the Epstein estate while the litigation is ongoing. The estate itself is also named as a defendant in the complaint.

While both reports agree on the core allegations and the individuals involved, they differ slightly on the timeline of the filing. The Hill reports that the announcement occurred on Tuesday, whereas The Guardian states the lawsuit was filed on Wednesday. Both outlets emphasize the gravity of the accusations, focusing on the alleged active participation of the defendants in the criminal enterprise rather than mere professional association.
