Prosecutors want to meet victims of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein
Prosecutors said in court filings that victim input is essential in deciding how to proceed in the long-running case. The filings came after U.S. District Judge Kenneth Marra ruled in February that prosecutors in the office of then-Miami U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta violated a victims' rights law by not disclosing the Epstein non-prosecution agreement to them.
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Jill Steinberg and Nathan Kitchens — both from the Atlanta U.S. attorney's office, which was chosen in March by the Justice Department to take over the case — said in court papers that they need at least 60 days to talk with victims before a decision is made on whether to tear up the Epstein deal.
Attorneys for two victims, identified as Jane Doe 1 and Jane Doe 2, countered that prosecutors should be required to announce a proposed remedy for violating their rights to be informed of the Epstein agreement. They have previously said they want the Epstein deal voided, which could again expose him to federal prosecution.
Both sides proposed lengthy schedules for future court filings and action. It will be up to Judge Marra to decide what happens next, but it could take months to resolve.
