Jeffrey Epstein's victims will not get cash damages from federal government over controversial deal
A federal judge ruled that victims of the late accused child sex predator Jeffrey Epstein will not get monetary damages from the U.S. government.
Judge Kenneth Marra also ruled against the victims' request that their lawyer fees be paid for by the government. Marra had ruled earlier that federal prosecutors in Florida had violated the Crime Victims' Rights Act by not telling them they were agreeing in 2007 not to bring serious sex crime charges against Epstein, in exchange for his guilty plea to relatively minor state charges the following year.
Epstein, 66, died in August from what authorities have said was a jailhouse suicide while awaiting trial on child sex trafficking charges in U.S. District Court in Manhattan.
