新墨西哥州周三起诉达伦·印迪克和理查德·卡恩，指控二人协助并隐瞒爱泼斯坦在其“佐罗牧场”贩运少女和年轻女性实施性交易的活动。
The state of New Mexico on Wednesday sued Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn, accusing the pair of facilitating and concealing Epstein’s sex trafficking operation of girls and young women at his Zorro Ranch.
这两名男子众所周知曾为这名已故恋童癖者工作多年，处理其法律和财务事务。
Both men are known to have worked for the late paedophile for years, handling his legal and financial matters.
该民事诉讼指控，印迪克先生和卡恩先生利用其职务之便以及爱泼斯坦的账户和公司，为其在牧场的性贩运犯罪企业提供资金并予以掩盖。
The civil lawsuit alleges that Mr Indyke and Mr Kahn used their positions and Epstein’s accounts and companies to finance and conceal his sex trafficking enterprise at the ranch.
爱泼斯坦拥有新墨西哥州的佐罗牧场超过25年。“杰弗里·爱泼斯坦并非独自作案，他的死亡并不意味着对那些帮助其实施犯罪的人追究责任的终结，”新墨西哥州总检察长劳尔·托雷斯表示。
Epstein owned Zorro Ranch in New Mexico for more than 25 years“Jeffrey Epstein did not operate alone, and his death does not end the pursuit of accountability for the people who helped make his crimes possible,” said Raúl Torrez, the New Mexico attorney general.
他补充道：“那些据称纵容这种剥削行为的人，不应被允许从中获利，而幸存者却要继续承受其后果。”
“Those who allegedly enabled this exploitation should not be allowed to profit from it while survivors continue to live with its consequences,” he added.
印迪克先生作为爱泼斯坦的独家律师，卡恩先生作为其长期会计师，二人均为爱泼斯坦遗产的共同执行人，拥有控制价值超过1.07亿美元（约8000万英镑）的证据和资产的权力。
Both Mr Indyke, his exclusive attorney, and Mr Kahn, his long-time accountant, are co-executors of Epstein’s estate, giving them the power to control access to evidence and assets valued at more than $107m (£80m).
新墨西哥州还在就爱泼斯坦在这处偏远庄园（绰号“花花公子牧场”）实施的虐待行为进行刑事调查，他在去世前拥有该庄园25年。
New Mexico is also pursuing a criminal investigation into Epstein’s abuse at the remote estate, nicknamed “playboy ranch”, which he owned for 25 years before his death.
据称，杰弗里·爱泼斯坦在多年间虐待了造访该牧场的年轻女性和女孩。诉状将该地产描述为爱泼斯坦及其同伙招募、运送、隔离并性虐待女孩和年轻女性的场所。
Jeffrey Epstein is said to have abused young women and girls who visited the ranch Over those years, the complaint describes the property as a place where Epstein and his associates recruited, transported, isolated and sexually abused girls and young women.
印迪克先生和卡恩先生此前均否认知晓、共谋或协助爱泼斯坦的罪行。
Mr Indyke and Mr Kahn have both previously denied all knowledge, complicity and facilitation of Epstein’s crimes.
诉讼指控，包括儿童在内的多名“简·多伊”在牧场遭受虐待。诉状还称，2025年和2026年爱泼斯坦档案公布后，关于这两名男子的新信息浮出水面。
The lawsuit alleges that several Jane Does, including children, were abused at the ranch. It also claims that new information about the two men came to light after the release of the Epstein files in 2025 and 2026.
3月，当局对位于圣塔菲以南的这座广阔庄园进行了新一轮搜查。司法部公布的档案多次提及该地产，其中一封电子邮件指控两名“外国女孩”被勒死并埋葬在其园区内。
In March, authorities conducted a fresh search of the sprawling estate, south of Santa Fe. The property is mentioned numerous times in the files released by the justice department, including one email that alleges two “foreign girls” were strangled and buried on its grounds.
达伦·印迪克是爱泼斯坦的长期前私人律师。印迪克先生约于1996年开始专门为爱泼斯坦工作，而卡恩先生自2005年起担任爱泼斯坦的内部会计师。两人均为爱泼斯坦工作至2019年他在纽约监狱牢房中死亡，当时他正因虐待和性贩运指控等待审判。
Darren Indyke is Epstein’s long-time former personal lawyer Mr Indyke started working exclusively for Epstein around 1996, while Mr Kahn served as Epstein’s in-house accountant from 2005. Both men worked for Epstein until his death in a New York jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on abuse and sex trafficking charges.
诉讼要求印迪克先生和卡恩先生不得从爱泼斯坦死后“他们所助长和推进的非法活动”中获利，而是要求将其资产“分配给他可怕罪行的幸存者”。
The lawsuit demands that Mr Indyke and Mr Kahn do not profit after Epstein’s death from “the illegal activity that they enabled and furthered” and instead that his assets be “distributed to the survivors of his horrific crimes”.
六名爱泼斯坦幸存者撰写的一份声明将爱泼斯坦描述为一名“骗子”，并称他不可能单独作案。
A statement written by six Epstein survivors described Epstein as a “con man” who could not have acted alone.
理查德·卡恩是爱泼斯坦的前内部会计师。他们将印迪克先生和卡恩先生描述为“最帮助维持爱泼斯坦虐待世界的两个人，且从中获益远超他所伤害的任何一个人”。
Richard Kahn is Epstein’s former in-house accountant They described Mr Indyke and Mr Kahn as “the two people who helped the most to sustain Epstein’s world of abuses and [stand] to gain far more from it than any one of the people he harmed”.
代表印迪克先生和卡恩律师的丹尼尔·H·韦纳表示，这两名男子“强烈否认”他们“共谋或以任何方式知情协助爱泼斯坦先生性虐待或贩运”的指控。
Daniel H Weiner, a lawyer representing Mr Indyke and Mr Kahn, said the men “emphatically reject” the allegations that they were “complicit in or in any way knowingly facilitated Mr Epstein’s sexual abuse or trafficking”.
他辩称，这些罪行“据所有说法都是在关起门来、在隐蔽地点、以及在印迪克先生和卡恩先生均不在场的时间发生的”。
He argued that the crimes “by all accounts occurred behind closed doors, in secluded locations, and at times when neither Mr Indyke nor Mr Kahn were present”.
韦纳表示，“没有一名女性曾指控印迪克先生或卡恩先生实施性虐待或目击性虐待”。他补充道：“他们有信心将在针对他们的指控中胜诉。”
Mr Weiner stated that “not a single woman has ever accused Mr Indyke or Mr Kahn of committing sexual abuse or witnessing sexual abuse”. He added: “They are confident that they will prevail on the claims asserted against them.”
