This newspaper article from December 8, 2018, reports that over two dozen U.S. lawmakers are demanding an investigation into Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta for his role as a former federal prosecutor in brokering a lenient 2008 plea deal for multimillionaire sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The call for a probe, spurred by a Miami Herald investigation, highlights how the deal granted Epstein immunity, hid the proceedings from his underage victims, and allowed him to serve only 13 months in jail.

This legal document, part of a court filing from July 18, 2019, argues against granting bail to Jeffrey Epstein. It details testimony from alleged victim Courtney Wild, who described being abused by Epstein from age 14 and expressed fear for other girls' safety. The filing counters the defense's argument that Epstein is disciplined, asserting instead that his alleged sexual conduct is an uncontrollable, addictive behavior that poses a continued threat to young girls.

This document is a court transcript from September 3, 2019, containing victim impact statements in the case against Jeffrey Epstein. Courtney Wild identifies herself as a victim of Epstein's sexual abuse for years, accusing him of manipulating the justice system and calling him a coward for dying before he could be confronted in court. An attorney, Mr. Edwards, then introduces his client, Jane Doe No. 1, who begins her own statement by referencing Epstein's death.

This document is a transcript of a bail hearing for Jeffrey Epstein held on July 15, 2019, in the SDNY. The government argued for detention based on flight risk (citing wealth, foreign ties, and a fake passport found in a safe) and danger to the community, while the defense argued for release on house arrest, citing his 14-year record of appearing for court and lack of recent convictions. Two victims, Annie Farmer and Courtney Wild, spoke in court opposing bail.
