NEW: Epstein accusers ask federal court to invalidate 2007 non-prosecution agreement that not only shielded Epstein from further prosecution but protected alleged co-conspirators.
Accusers of the now-deceased Jeffrey Epstein are asking a federal court in Florida to tear up the multimillionaire sex offender's 2007 non-prosecution agreement that not only shielded Epstein from further prosecution, but protected his alleged co-conspirators, who federal authorities have vowed to bring to justice.
The court papers were filed by attorneys Brad Edwards and Paul Cassell on behalf of two of Epstein's accusers, who were identified only as Jane Doe 1 and Jane Doe 2. Under the agreement, Epstein served 13 months of an 18-month sentence in county jail and was allowed to participate in a work-release program enabling him to spend up to 12 hours a day, six days a week in his Palm Beach office.
"Because of Epstein's death, the need for many of the victims' other proposed remedies has only increased – particularly the remedies concerning information for victims and holding a public hearing," the court filing said."Because Epstein is now dead, there will never be a criminal trial to hold him accountable, either in the Southern District of Florida, the Southern District of New York, or elsewhere.
Mark Epstein hired famed forensic pathologist Michael Baden to observe his brother's autopsy done Sunday by the New York City Medical Examiner. The Federal Bureau of Prison officials said Epstein hanged himself, according to sources.
