Bank of America sued over alleged financial ties to Jeffrey Epstein

NEW YORK (Reuters) -A woman who says she was abused by the late financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein sued Bank of America on Wednesday, alleging the bank knowingly provided financial services that enabled his sex trafficking operation for years.  Bank of America declined to comment. The woman, referred to in court papers as Jane Doe, is seeking an unspecified amount of damages. She is represented by law firms Boies Schiller and Edwards Henderson, who previously secured settlements of $75 million and $290 million with Deutsche Bank and JP Morgan, respectively, over their alleged financial ties to Epstein.  (Reporting by Luc Cohen and Saeed Azhar in New York; Editing by Chris Reese)
