Victims of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein have one more shot at justice
msc.com / 12-5-18
Women who say they were victimized by politically connected convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein have one more chance at justice — a case that could potentially put the multi-millionaire back behind bars.
Some of Epstein's accusers had been expected to take the witness stand in Florida this week, at a defamation trial that was brought against Epstein by Bradley Edwards, a lawyer for some of the victims. The case settled Tuesday (12-4) morning with Epstein issuing an apology to Edwards and paying him an undisclosed sum of money.
A pending suit by some of Epstein's accusers in federal court in Florida is aimed at voiding a non-prosecution agreement that was signed off on by then-U.S. Attorney for Southern Florida Alexander Acosta — arguing that the deal was illegal because dozens of Epstein's victims were never told about it.
If the judge finds there were was a violation of the federal Crime Victims' Rights Act, he could void the deal and Epstein could again face federal charges for what investigators say was his routine of sexually abusing teenage girls in his West Palm Beach mansion during the early 2000s.

Some one or some entity very powerful has been protecting this guy.
Link reports Kenneth Marra is the United States District Court judge for the Southern District of Florida. According to Wikipedia, Marra was appointed by George W. Bush in 2002.
BTW, what about Epstein's US Virgin Islands compound? Same sex crimes happened there ... "allegedly."
