A woman who was allegedly abused by Jeffrey Epstein is asking the Supreme Court to rule on her challenge to prosecutors' once-secret deal with the deceased sex offender.
Wild, who was 14 when she said she started going over to Jeffrey Epstein's home to give him massages that invariably turned sexual."Maybe my story can influence other people to speak up," she said.Jeffrey Epstein
Wild's lawyers contend that the case presents a"now-or-never opportunity" for the Supreme Court to decide whether the government's"covert practices" that concealed the Epstein deal from his victims violated the federal Crime Victims' Rights Act. "Without our case, probably no one would have seen the non-prosecution agreement, the secret agreement," Edwards said."Without that action, nobody would have known just how bad [Epstein] and his other co-conspirators were. No one would have ever understood the whole story."
Newsom acknowledged that the court's decision left Wild and other alleged Epstein victims"largely empty handed" and without any remedy for the U.S. government's alleged mistreatment of Epstein's victims. Wild had argued for years that the Epstein deal, which also conferred limited immunity to any alleged co-conspirators, should be declared illegal and torn up.
