Survivors sue Epstein estate, seeking notice for others in CSAM trove

Two anonymous women filed a federal class-action against Jeffrey Epstein’s estate, claiming their partially nude photos were found among Epstein’s extensive child-pornography collection and seeking unspecified damages plus a court-supervised program to identify and notify other survivors. The suit cites a so-called “modeling book” of sexualized images kept in a locked safe and alleges authorities were alerted but no charges pursued. Epstein died by suicide in 2019; Maxwell was later convicted in a related case. The plaintiffs urge the estate to preserve seized materials and ensure a coordinated process to notify every survivor depicted in Epstein’s files.

The episode highlights ongoing scrutiny of Epstein’s circle, with past ties noted (she attended Epstein events, including at Mar-a-Lago) and a 2002 email exchange with Maxwell later referenced in reporting.

Industry finale casts Yasmin as a Ghislaine Maxwell–inspired power broker

Season 4’s finale of Industry reframes Yasmin Kara-Hanani as an Epstein-inspired, Ghislaine Maxwell–style figure who leaves marriage and media behind to trafficking young women for a transnational elite, using market ruthlessness to justify her ascent. The arc ties her ascent to the broader rot of media, politics, and finance, highlighting how the predatory logic of capitalism can corrupt individuals and institutions. Harper Stern’s waning humanity offers a fleeting counterpoint, setting up season five to explore whether any moral anchor can survive in a world of profit-at-any-cost.

More than half of Los Angeles County’s 18 Olympic-committee lawmakers are urging LA28 chair Casey Wasserman to step down after his 2003 emails with Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s associate; Wasserman says he regrets the exchanges, but some lawmakers remain undecided. The push comes as LA officials, including Mayor Karen Bass, call for new leadership, and an independent reviewer previously concluded Wasserman’s ties did not go beyond publicly documented interactions.

Bass urges Wasserman to resign amid Maxwell emails

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass called on Casey Wasserman to resign from the LA28 organizing committee after emails between Wasserman and Ghislaine Maxwell surfaced, contradicting the board’s stance that firing power lay elsewhere; the LA28 board had kept him on, and Bass’s move adds political pressure as officials warn his departure could affect sponsorship and the Games’ finances ahead of her reelection.
