Lawsuits: Del. Corporation Owned Plane Used to Fly Jeffrey Epstein's Alleged Victims Across State Lines
The new details come after sources told the New York Law Journal last week that Epstein, before he died, had tried to set up a fund to help cover the legal costs of certain employees and other associates who might be contacted by law enforcement.

A series of new lawsuits from Jeffrey Epstein's accusers, filed overnight against the disgraced financier's estate, laid out fresh allegations of abuse, and shed new light on how Epstein used his network of businesses to operate an alleged child-sex trafficking ring that landed him under federal indictment before his death earlier this month.
According to the filings, Epstein and those close to him used a network of eight companies to operate an "enterprise" that yielded vast power, wealth and resources to threaten and cajole the women and young girls he brought into his orbit.
The companies, which 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.
