Perversion of Justice: The Jeffrey Epstein Story
by Julie K. Brown
View on GoodreadsAbout 13 months in county jail, under a plea deal his victims never heard about: that was Jeffrey Epstein's first reckoning. Brown found about 80 survivors and revived the case in 2018. At the end of the day, her case is that you're looking at two tiers of justice.
Core ideas
- Victims shut out: Nobody told them about the deal U.S. Attorney Acosta approved or gave them a say at sentencing, breaching the Crime Victims' Rights Act.
- Few took the risk: A Palm Beach police detective and the chief were nearly alone in pursuing Epstein, while he used private investigators to intimidate witnesses.
- What came after: The 2019 arrest and Acosta's resignation followed, and she says the suspicious circumstances of Epstein's death were never fully investigated.
