'I have been re-victimized, at every stage, by the same government that’s supposed to protect me': Epstein survivor pens letter to Attorney General Barr
Courtney Wild, who has accused sex offender Jeffrey Epstein of childhood abuse, is not giving up her fight for justice, even after Epstein’s death by apparent suicide in August.
Wild was a 14-year old girl from a troubled home when she says she was recruited by a friend to go to Epstein’s Palm Beach Island mansion under the guise of giving an older man a massage. She was ultimately among more than 30 underage girls identified as victims of Epstein during a wide-ranging investigation by the FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Miami.
Epstein served just 13 months in a private wing of a Palm Beach County Jail and was granted liberal work releases privileges that allowed him to spend up to 16 hours a day at his office. But before the court could take the next step to decide whether to toss out the agreement, federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York, on July 6, arrested Epstein for an alleged sex trafficking conspiracy. The new charges led to fresh scrutiny of Epstein’s prior lenient treatment and to the resignation of the U.S. Secretary of Labor, R. Alexander Acosta, who presided over the non-prosecution agreement as the top federal prosecutor in Miami.
“She is not about to quit because of one bad ruling,” said Wild’s attorney, Brad Edwards. “The dismissal of Courtney’s case was shocking to her. And who can argue with her logic? The government should not escape from one mistake by committing another.”
