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, whose lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Justice helped uncover Epstein’s once-secret non-prosecution agreement, sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General William Barr on Monday urging him to support her efforts to invalidate the deal, which also extended immunity in Florida to others who may have assisted Epstein or participated in his alleged crimes against children.
In 2008, under the pseudonym “Jane Doe 1,” Wild sued the Justice Department in an effort to vindicate her rights as a crime victim. She alleged that the Epstein agreement was illegal because prosecutors failed to confer with her and the dozens of other alleged victims in advance of striking the deal, as required under the federal Crime Victims’ Rights Act.
Even after Epstein served his sentence and moved his primary residence to a private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands, Wild continued to press her case against the federal government over Epstein’s indulgent deal. It also gave hope to Wild that justice might finally be near for her and other girls and young women allegedly abused by Epstein. She traveled to New York for Epstein’s detention hearing and urged a judge to keep Epstein locked up until his trial.“Unfortunately, when Jeffrey Epstein died, the judge threw my case out,” Wild wrote in her letter to Barr.
Following Epstein’s death, Barr publicly vowed to continue pursuing the investigation into others who may have assisted Epstein.
