New lawsuits from Jeffrey Epstein’s accusers against the disgraced financier’s estate laid out fresh allegations of abuse and shed new light on how Epstein allegedly used his network of businesses to operate a child-sex trafficking ring that landed him under federal indictment before he died.

The filings said Epstein used the Florida Science Foundation Inc. as a front for sexual abuse while participating in a work-release program following his 2008 conviction on state prostitution charges. State corporate records list the company’s headquarters in West Palm Beach and his corporate attorney, Darren Indyke, as its director.

The companies, which also were registered in New York, Delaware and the U.S. Virgin Islands, for years enabled Epstein to procure commercial sex acts and expand the circle of young victims upon whom he allegedly preyed, according to the lawsuits.

A company formed in New York following Epstein’s 2008 conviction in Palm Beach County designated employees to recruit victims and keep them in line, the suits claimed.

“Epstein, his associates and related companies, including corporate defendants, through acts of fraud and coercion, caused plaintiff to engage in commercial sex acts for many years,” attorney J. Stanley Pottinger wrote on behalf of a plaintiffs identified in the filing by the pseudonym Katlyn Doe.
