March 28 (UPI) -- Bank of America reached a settlement with a survivor of deceased sex predator Jeffrey Epstein that will distribute $72.5 million to his victims.
The survivor, named in the case as "BOA Jane Doe," and her attorneys told a federal judge on Friday that a settlement had been reached with the bank on a proposed class-action suit over Epstein's decades of abuse and trafficking of women and teenage girls, The Charlotte Observer reported.
The suit alleged that the bank ignored signals of Epstein's crimes by continuing to do business with him while he was committing his crimes.
Doe's attorneys said they are aware of at least 60 women who were abused or trafficked by Epstein, however the settlement covers all women who experienced either at Epstein's hands or those "connected to or otherwise associated" with him between June 30, 2008, and July 6, 2019, NBC News reported.
