For more than a decade, Courtney Wild, a survivor of sexual abuse by Jeffrey Epstein, has been a driving force in the effort to hold the United States government accountable for its lenient treatment of the late financier, who was spared federal prosecution in 2008 after being investigated for alleged
On Thursday morning, Wild, 32, will be in attendance at a federal appeals court hearing in Miami as her attorneys seek to revive her case against the U.S. Department of Justice for violating her rights and those of dozens of other alleged victims of Epstein's sex trafficking scheme.
Under the deal, Epstein and any potential co-conspirators in his crimes were immunized from federal prosecution in exchange for his guilty pleas to two low-level prostitution charges in state court. Epstein served just 13 months of an 18-month sentence in a private wing of a Palm Beach County jail. He was released in 2009.
Wild and her attorneys then asked the court to invalidate Epstein's deal and to force the government to disclose documents that would shed light on how and why prosecutors opted to negotiate a deal with a man suspected of a multitude of sex crimes against children. Wild is now asking the appeals court to review the decision to dismiss her case, arguing that the government and any potential Epstein co-conspirators should not be let off the hook."It would be perverse if Epstein's decision to take his own life operates to confer immunity on his criminal co-conspirators," Wild's attorneys wrote in court filings.
