10 years after billionaire Jeffrey Epstein signed a sweet plea deal that let him escape federal charges of sexually abusing dozens of teenage girls at his Palm Beach mansion and running a prostitution ring, the 64-year-old pedophile faces the possibility that the plea agreement could be thrown out and he could be retried according to court papers filed earlier this month, My Palmbeach Post reported.
The case is finally coming to an "end" as legal cases often do they take years to go through the justice system we first heard about Epstein back in 2015, when one of his several victims Virginia Roberts first made her appearance filing a suit against Epstein bringing his horrific crimes and lack of punishment to international spot light causing outrage.
Epstein is accused of recruiting Roberts and sexually abusing at least 40 minor girls, most of them between the ages of 13 and 17 procuring them into an underage sex ring. Roberts was just 15 years old in 2002 when she was swayed by the billionaire and met her mistress Ghislaine Maxwell, the daughter of disgraced tycoon Robert Maxwell while working at President Donald Trump's country club Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida. The woman recounted her experience to the Independent:
"I was wearing my sexy white Mar-A- Lago uniform – a white miniskirt and a skintight white polo top – and studying an anatomy book when I was approached by this striking woman in her mid-40s with a very proper British accent: Ghislaine."
After expressing to Maxwell her wish to be a masseuse, she claims to have been taken to meet Epstein at his mansion, where she gave him an "erotic massage" for which she was paid £130," She said.
Following Roberts' speaking out about her abuse, Maxwell sued Roberts for defamation in which Roberts subsequently counter-sued the plaintiff. Roberts' counter suit was that Maxwell's lawsuit alleged that her own statements were false and was, itself, defamation. Roberts won her case against Maxwell recently in March, Judge Robert Sweet refused to accept Maxwell's argument in a 76-page decision, stating Roberts was arguing that Maxwell released the damaging statement out of 'malice.'
Document website, Plainsite, shows Robert's case appears to have been decided in a sealed session.
Journalist Sharon Churcher filed a motion to see the opinion, which was granted in a heavily redacted version released for the public.
Epstein served just 13 months of specialized prison leave where he only had to stay there at night then he could leave in the morning and go to his job this illegal deal was organized by former Miami U.S. attorney and current Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta.
The sweet heart deal violated the federal Crime Victims' Rights Act established in 2004 lawyers for the women have repeatable stated.
Even former Palm Beach police chief Michael Reiter, whose department conducted the initial investigation into Epstein, said in a civil lawsuit deposition that Epstein got off easy.
"That wasn't an appropriate resolution of this matter," Reiter said, arguing that the charges against Epstein were "very minor," compared to what the facts called for.
Acosta denied that he gave Epstein special treatment explaining his decision in the case in a 2011 letter, Acosta said he backed off from pressing charges after "a year-long assault on the prosecution and the prosecutors" by "an army of legal superstars" who represented Epstein, including Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz; Kenneth Starr, who as independent counsel led the investigation that brought about President Bill Clinton's impeachment; and some of the U.S.'s most prominent defense attorneys, such as Roy Black, Gerald Lefcourt and Jay Lefkowitz.
"The defense strategy was not limited to legal issues," Acosta wrote.
"Defense counsel investigated individual prosecutors and their families, looking for personal peccadilloes that may provide a basis for disqualification."
Dershowitz told the Chicago Tribune that no such effort to stir the prosecutors ever took place. "That's just dead wrong," he said. "I would never participate in anything of that kind. Of course we investigated the witnesses but not Acosta's deputies. That's absurd."Acosta's "intention was to indict, and he fought hard and tried to get the best deal he could," Dershowitz said. "We outlawyered him."
However, Acosta’s staff had advocated for him to pursue a federal indictment instead he offered a non-prosecution agreement with Epstein without the victims knowledge of the deal.
The Judge Kenneth Marra overseeing the decision holds the power to rule whether or not Epstein's bargain violated the federal Crime Victims' Rights Act which protects victims. Marra holds the future of the fabric of law in his hands which will decide whether or not making plea-deals without the victims knowledge is acceptable behavior. All this could be reversed which might get the ball rolling on an investigation into Epstein and who went to his island for his "services."
A flight ledger released revealed Bill Clinton's name 27 times, Epstein's brother Mark Epstein also alleged Trump took at least one flight on Epstein's plane dubbed 'Lolita Express' hitching a ride back to New York under oath.
Epstein's friends and visitors once included past and future presidents, rock stars, and some of the country’s richest men. With all these people hanging around Epstein one has to wonder how many of these people knew or participated in Epstein's activities.
President Trump banned Epstein from his Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach "because Epstein sexually assaulted an underage girl at the club," Bradley Edwards, an attorney who represents three of the young women, said in court documents Washington Post reported.
Trump denies ever knowing Epstein although Trump told New York magazine in 2002, "I've known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy,'' three years before Epstein began to be investigated. "He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life."
He also dined at Epstein's house according to a NYmag article which discussed the guest who attended Epstein's dinner party.
Trump was accused by a one victim of raping her at one of Epstein's parties but that claim turned out to be not credible according to the jury. She later confessed that she made it all up after filing three lawsuits and dropped her suit.
For a full list of documents on the Jane Doe case against Jeffrey Epstein you can visit the memoryhole, if this case gets overturned and Epstein has to go to trial this will be the can of worms opened no one in the establishment wants out.
There is a reason the feds stopped the investigation and it may implicate not only powerful rich people but entertainers in Hollywood, politicians and more. This is something to heavily watch what the Judge's decision will be this may have just pushed the Judge into a corner. The whole world is watching..
