SDNY COURTHOUSE, Dec 20 – Jane Doe 3 sued Jeffrey Epstein's lawyer Darren Indyke and accountant Richard Kahn for their role in Epstein's rape, sexual assault and sex trafficking.
On November 6, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Arun Subramanian held a public proceeding, and Inner City Press live tweeted it. From the thread:
Judge Subramanian: OK, we'll address the request to depose Doe's husband
Plaintiff's lawyer: Ms. Doe does not want her husband to know about this. So we are willing at trial to drop claims having to do with harm to the marriage. Jane Doe had not told anyone...
Judge: Defendants, what do you want to ask?
Defense counsel: He dated her before the Epstein time, before her return to [voluntarily redacted here - see Substack below the line here]. They got married in 2017, these alleged incidents took place in 2014.
Defense lawyer: We got copies of her texts to her now-husband, he had moved to [voluntarily redacted here - see Substack below the line here]. Jane Doe 3 appeared to be having a fine time with Epstein, Broadway shows and the like.

On December 20, more bristling at transparency, thread:
OK - now covering Jeffrey Epstein-related case of Doe v. Indyke et al. It began with counsel highlighting presence of Inner City Press to the Judge's courtroom deputy, who rightly said, It is not currently sealed?
While waiting to see if counsel would ask Judge Subramanian to seal, looked up some caselaw, 2d Circuit 2013. But not necessary - counsel only says to others, remember the Press is present. Judge: Have you resolved the discovery disputes? Plaintiffs lawyer: Mostly
Plaintiffs lawyer: There is a Ghislaine Maxwell database.. There are still non-privileged documents in their log. Mr. Kahn's and Mr. Indkye's logs are different. Judge: What is the number of documents? Plaintiffs lawyer: I heard 3000 documents without descriptions
Plaintiffs counsel: We suspect there are a number of payments to women more that the 4 searched for. I would say it is in the hundreds. They produced 937, these are some of the hottest documents we have every seen working on these cases [tried to get Press out]
After back and forth about privilege, Judge Subramanian wishes all happy holidays, adjourns.
This case is Doe 3 v. Indyke, et al., 1:24-cv-1204 (Subramanian)
