The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta has ruled that the government did not violate the Crime Victims’ Rights Act, which allows for victims of crimes to confer with the United States attorney about a case, when federal prosecutors struck a plea deal with disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein in 2008 without notifying his accusers.
Judge Kevin Newsom argued in the 2-1 ruling that while he did not like the decision he reached, he concluded that there was no legal basis for accuser Courtney Wild’s petition arguing that the plea deal violated her rights.
