Event Description

Alexander Acosta and A. Marie Villafaña negotiated and entered into a plea bargain with Jeffrey Epstein, a multimillionaire who sexually abused nearly three dozen teenage girls at his mansion in Palm Beach. The deal involved a guilty plea to minor charges in state court.

Quoted Evidence

Later that year, Acosta and Villafaña put together a plea bargain for Epstein, a multimillionaire money manager who sexually abused nearly three dozen teenage girls at his mansion in Palm Beach. The deal, a federal judge ruled last month, was intentionally kept from his victims in violation of the Crime Victims' Rights Act.
