In what is the first lawsuit involving Jeffrey Epstein filed after his death and among the first targeting his associates, Epstein accuser Jennifer Araoz filed a suit Wednesday against the billionaire financier’s estate and his “network of enablers,” specifically Ghislaine Maxwell, a female “recruiter,” a maid, and a female secretary, NBC News reports.

Epstein was arrested in early July on charges of sex trafficking “dozens” of minors over several years. After his arrest, more information and accusations came to light, with several high-profile names cited in connection with the disgraced billionaire. On Saturday, Epstein was found dead in his cell from what authorities say was a suicide carried out by self-strangulation using a bedsheet tied to the top of a bunk bed.
