Summary
Court order issued by Judge Paul A. Engelmayer on April 30, 2020, granting the defendants' motion to dismiss Jane Doe 15's claim for punitive damages against the Estate of Jeffrey Epstein. The plaintiff alleged she was groomed by Epstein's secretary in New York and sexually abused by Epstein at his New Mexico ranch in 2004 at age 15. The court ruled that under both New York and New Mexico law, punitive damages cannot be recovered from the estate of a deceased tortfeasor.
