In short:

The law firm representing victims linked to Jeffrey Epstein says it has secured a $US35 million settlement.

The announcement was made in a court submission to the federal court in Manhattan.

The settlement marks another financial resolution tied to the long-running legal fallout from Epstein’s abuses.

Jeffrey Epstein’s estate has agreed to pay as much as $US35 million ($A49.5m) to resolve a class action lawsuit, according to a court filing.

The lawsuit accused two of the disgraced financier’s advisers of aiding and abetting his sex trafficking of young women and teenage girls.

Boies Schiller Flexner, the law firm representing Epstein victims, announced a $US35 million settlement in a brief filed in federal court in Manhattan.

If approved by a judge, the deal would end a 2024 lawsuit against Epstein’s former personal lawyer Darren Indyke and former accountant Richard Kahn, who serve as co-executors of his estate.
