| Even from jail, Jeffrey Epstein manipulated the system | Miami Herald |
| Case 1:19-cv-03377 Document 1-1 Filed 04/16/19 Page 4 of 18 |
| Page 3 of 17 |
| Acosta, who is now President Donald Trump's secretary of labor, told lawmakers last year at his confirmation hearing that he did not know that Epstein |
| would receive such liberal treatment while incarcerated. But court records show that federal prosecutors under his authority acquiesced to many of |
| Epstein's demands, including that he not go to federal or state prison. |
| "I can't remember how I found out that he had taken a plea," said Courtney Wild, identified by the FBI as one of more than three dozen underage girls - |
| some of them as young as 13 - who had been molested by Epstein at his waterfront estate between 2001 and 2005. |
| "We were purposefully misled into believing that his sentencing [in state court] had nothing to do with the federal crimes he committed against me or the |
| other girls." |
| Epstein, now 65, was released in 2009 after serving 13 months. |
| Wild, who was 14 when she met Epstein, is suing the federal government, alleging that prosecutors kept her and other victims in the dark as part of a |
| conspiracy to give Epstein — described in the lawsuit as "a powerful, politically connected multimillionaire" - one of the most lenient deals for a serial |
| child sex offender in history. |
| Courtney Wild is suing the federal government, claiming that prosecutors deliberately kept her and other victims of Jeffrey Epstein in the dark about the status of his case. The |
| U.S. Attorney's Office signed a non-prosecution agreement with the multimillionaire. Emily Michot EMICHOT@MIAMIHERALD.COM |
| Now 31, Wild is Jane Doe No. 1 in "Jane Doe 1 and Jane Doe 2 vs. the United States," which seeks to overturn Epstein's plea agreement on the grounds that |
| it was executed in violation of the federal Crime Victims' Rights Act. The measure affords crime victims a series of rights, including to confer with |
| prosecutors and to be notified about plea negotiations and sentencing. |
| That lawsuit - and an unrelated state court case scheduled for trial on Dec. 4 - could expose more about Epstein's crimes, as well as who else was |
| involved and whether there was any undue influence that tainted the federal case. |
