Summary
This document is a transcript of an attorney speaking in court about their representation of Jeffrey Epstein's victims. The attorney explains that an initial FBI investigation was resolved through a "secret deal" that prevented over 30 victims in Florida from participating in a hearing, denying them their rights under the Crime Victims' Rights Act. The speaker emphasizes that this treatment by the criminal justice system exponentially aggravated the harm caused by Epstein's abuse.

came to me not asking to file a lawsuit against Jeffrey
Epstein, but simply asking for the government to talk to her.
She was cooperating in an FBI investigation and wanted the
government to speak with her, and I thought that was going to
be an easy task.
It was only a few months later that we learned that
this investigation that was represented to my client in written
form, that it would be a long investigation, and to be patient.
Basically, to hang tight. It was resolved by way of a secret
deal that never allowed any of the more than 30 victims who had
been identified of Mr. Epstein's abuse in Florida to ever
participate in a single hearing. There was a hearing. They
were never notified.
I then went on to represent many of them in civil
cases and also in extensive pro bono work. And I can tell your
Honor that while Jeffrey Epstein's abuse of them hurt them and
harmed them for many years, the feelings they had was
aggravated exponentially by the facts that they had no rights
in the criminal justice system, by the fact that they were
treated as if they didn't matter. They were not allowed their
rights under the Crime Victims' Rights Act to meaningfully
confer with prosecutors, to be treated with fairness, to be
treated with dignity. That is what this is supposed to be
about, and to have notice of hearings.
So I do want to thank your Honor, and especially the
Epstein, but simply asking for the government to talk to her.
