A deal actually already happened. 05:10.685 --> 05:15.440 It's already done. The case is over, and my clients are going, 05:15.523 --> 05:18.526 "How is the case over when it hasn't started? 05:18.609 --> 05:20.403 This doesn't make any sense to me." 05:20.820 --> 05:22.238 I told them, "None of... 05:22.322 --> 05:25.366 What doesn't make sense to you right now also doesn't make sense to me." 05:26.701 --> 05:31.330 Alex Acosta, the acting US Attorney, should at least have to explain. 05:31.414 --> 05:33.583 Why did you do what you did? 05:33.666 --> 05:37.253 And give us the real story, whatever it is. Just tell us why. 05:37.337 --> 05:39.881 Give me some explanation for why this fucking happened. 05:54.854 --> 05:57.106 [male reporter] News Channel 5's Dori Robau is live today 05:57.190 --> 05:59.025 at the Palm Beach Police Department. 05:59.400 --> 06:00.860 When the police chief here heard 06:00.943 --> 06:03.446 that Epstein would be charged with solicitation of prostitution, 06:03.529 --> 06:06.574 he thought that the charges ought to be much more serious, 06:06.657 --> 06:09.535 and Palm Beach police chief Michael Reiter believed a strong case 06:09.619 --> 06:12.121 had been made that Epstein had sex with children. 06:13.414 --> 06:16.876 It's the only case I was involved in,  in my entire career,  06:17.293 --> 06:21.547 that I felt as though I really could not protect the victims. 06:28.137 --> 06:31.474 [man] I've been working together with Brad Edwards 06:31.557 --> 06:35.395 on Epstein civil cases for over a decade. 06:35.895 --> 06:41.317 Jeffrey Epstein was given immunity from any other state charges, 06:41.400 --> 06:44.195 and immunity from all federal charges, 06:44.278 --> 06:50.868 both for himself and for any of his named and unnamed co-conspirators. 06:51.536 --> 06:54.163 It is inexplicable to me 06:54.622 --> 07:01.254 that any prosecutor could ever have entered into this kind of plea deal. 07:02.213 --> 07:03.923 In 45 years of practice, 07:04.006 --> 07:07.885 I have never heard of anyone ever entering into a plea agreement 07:08.177 --> 07:11.222 that not only granted immunity 07:11.639 --> 07:14.433 to the target of an investigation, 07:15.143 --> 07:15.977 but... 07:16.602 --> 07:20.523 handed out "get-out-of-jail-free" cards 07:21.107 --> 07:24.485 to everyone of that person's co-conspirators, 07:25.153 --> 07:27.488 named and unnamed. 07:29.949 --> 07:34.829 [Edwards] All unknown co-conspirators somehow also got immunity. 07:40.042 --> 07:42.545 There was no way that anybody could look at this 07:42.628 --> 07:44.380 and think this was okay. 07:49.427 --> 07:50.970 [Alan Dershowitz] The outcome of this case, 07:51.053 --> 07:52.805 whether people agree or disagree with it, 07:52.889 --> 07:55.933 doesn't require a conspiracy 07:56.017 --> 07:59.395 between government officials and wealthy people. 07:59.479 --> 08:04.650 Everything that we negotiated for had to be approved by Acosta, 08:05.234 --> 08:06.986 by the Assistant Attorney General 08:07.069 --> 08:09.572 in charge of the Criminal Division in Washington, 08:09.655 --> 08:12.533 by the Deputy Attorney General of the United States, 08:12.617 --> 08:14.911 ultimately by the Attorney General of the United States. 08:14.994 --> 08:16.496 This went through various levels. 08:20.416 --> 08:22.293 It was a very tough negotiation. 08:22.376 --> 08:26.088 Acosta mostly sat at the end of the table and asked hard questions. 08:26.172 --> 08:29.383 The issue was whether or not the federal government could make a case 08:29.467 --> 08:33.095 based on the evidence they had of the commission of a federal crime, 08:33.387 --> 08:36.891 and my job was to try to persuade them they could not make that case. 08:37.600 --> 08:41.312 [Kuvin] Jeffrey Epstein and his team was just this huge train 08:41.395 --> 08:43.564 of money, power, and influence 08:43.648 --> 08:46.651 that was just barreling down on the State's Attorney's office, 08:46.734 --> 08:48.027 the US Attorney's office, 08:48.110 --> 08:50.947 just trying to get their way and eventually getting their way. 08:52.657 --> 08:55.743 [Dershowitz] In the end, they decided that they'd be better off 08:55.826 --> 08:59.288 getting a bird in the hand versus two in the bush, 08:59.539 --> 09:05.378 and they agreed to have him plead guilty to State charges, get a sentence, 09:05.461 --> 09:09.632 and then make massive compensation to the alleged victims. 09:10.049 --> 09:12.218 I can tell you one interesting thing: at the end, 09:12.301 --> 09:14.637 Jeffrey Epstein didn't think we made a very good deal. 09:14.720 --> 09:18.724 He was pretty upset with us. He thought he could have done better. 09:23.104 --> 09:25.606 Hi, uh... Jeffrey. It's George Rush. 09:25.690 --> 09:27.400 -[Epstein] George, how are you? -[Rush] Good. 09:34.532 --> 09:37.076 [Rush] Do you want to say anything just about the way 09:37.159 --> 09:43.040 your agreement has been characterized as a secret, back-room sweetheart deal 09:43.124 --> 09:46.961 that somehow, through the political connections of your lawyers, 09:47.044 --> 09:48.379 they obtained it. 09:48.713 --> 09:51.090 [Epstein] George, it's total bullshit. 09:52.049 --> 09:55.761 On closer examination, you'll find my penalty was harsher, 09:55.845 --> 09:59.724 not less, harsher than anyone else who's ever been charged 09:59.807 --> 10:01.851 -with solicitation of prostitution. -[Rush] Mm-hmm. 10:01.934 --> 10:05.605 [Epstein] No girl ever came to my house. First of all, I never left my house. 10:06.147 --> 10:09.358 So any girl who came to my house was coming to my house to get money, 10:09.442 --> 10:10.276 to earn money. 10:11.110 --> 10:12.236 New York, by the way, 10:12.320 --> 10:14.447 you should understand, for the same charge, 10:15.239 --> 10:17.783 -it... it's a $100 fine. -[Rush] Mm-hmm. 10:17.867 --> 10:20.244 [Epstein] That's the charge in New York for this behavior. 10:20.328 --> 10:21.954 -Now so.. It's two charges. -[Rush] Yes. 10:22.038 --> 10:25.875 [Epstein] So we're clear, one charge was solicitation of prostitution. 10:26.626 --> 10:28.294 That's nothing to do with minors. 10:29.211 --> 10:31.088 Simply solicitation of prostitution. 10:31.797 --> 10:35.760 The other charge that related to a minor was procuring a minor... 10:36.927 --> 10:38.929 for engaging in prostitution. 10:39.597 --> 10:42.558 So that was the only two and none of those... None... 10:42.641 --> 10:44.852 Neither one of the charges nor any allegation 10:44.935 --> 10:48.981 of alleged sexual intercourse at any time or any type. 10:49.065 --> 10:51.817 The state charge is simply a procurement charge. 10:51.901 --> 10:55.237 It has nothing to do with sex. It's a procurement for prostitution. 10:55.363 --> 10:56.280 [Rush] Well, what-- 10:56.364 --> 10:58.574 [Epstein] If you look, even up until six months ago, 10:58.658 --> 11:01.786 soliciting a 16-year-old prostitute was a Class D misdemeanor, 11:02.161 --> 11:04.747 which was a fine of $100, similar to jay-walking. 11:07.708 --> 11:10.336 They labeled us as underage prostitutes 11:10.419 --> 11:14.173 and it's embarrassing to be identified as that. 11:14.256 --> 11:16.967 It's embarrassing. It's hurtful. It's all kinds of things. 11:17.051 --> 11:18.803 These girls were not prostitutes. 11:18.886 --> 11:22.431 These girls were middle school and high school kids... Children. 11:24.225 --> 11:29.772 The victims are left beaten and destroyed and with no answers. 11:31.148 --> 11:34.360 [Michelle Licata] I was shocked when I read that there was a plea deal. 11:35.403 --> 11:38.698 I didn't know you could make a deal with the government 11:39.115 --> 11:42.118 and, you know, get a lesser sentence 11:42.201 --> 11:45.538 just based upon how much power and money you have. 11:47.289 --> 11:48.874 [Courtney Wild] Justice wasn't served. 11:49.458 --> 11:51.001 Everybody looked the other way. 11:51.502 --> 11:54.296 And we find out that what the government did was 11:54.380 --> 11:57.341 they kept the victims in the dark so we didn't have our day in court. 11:57.800 --> 12:01.512 So, yeah, I was sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein, 12:01.595 --> 12:04.140 but I was re-victimized by the same government 12:04.223 --> 12:05.808 that's supposed to protect us. 12:06.183 --> 12:07.935 They muted our voices, 12:08.018 --> 12:10.896 so I was... Yeah, I was angry. I'm still very angry. 12:12.148 --> 12:15.359 [Shawna Rivera] I think that this is common for people like Jeff. 12:15.443 --> 12:17.862 I think that they often don't have to... 12:18.571 --> 12:21.991 face the consequences for their actions. 12:24.076 --> 12:27.079 I just wanted Jeff to be prosecuted. 12:27.163 --> 12:32.168 I wanted him to, like, not be able to dig his way out of it with money. 12:33.711 --> 12:36.964 And then I found out that this deal was made 12:37.465 --> 12:39.800 where the records were sealed and, like, 12:39.884 --> 12:45.765 my ability to do anything criminally against him was... was gone. 12:46.223 --> 12:47.725 I was really upset about it. 12:47.808 --> 12:52.646 I was mad about it and I didn't... know where to go from there. 12:55.733 --> 12:58.527 [Edwards] Almost immediately after the non-prosecution agreement 12:58.611 --> 13:01.197 was secretly signed between Jeffrey Epstein and the government, 13:01.655 --> 13:04.283 I tell all of my clients I have to fight this. 13:04.366 --> 13:06.118 And the best thing that I can do is 13:06.202 --> 13:09.205 to enforce your rights under the Crime Victims Rights Act, 13:09.872 --> 13:13.209 which ensures that victims,  in criminal cases, 13:13.709 --> 13:16.879 um... have certain basic rights, which include the right 13:16.962 --> 13:21.258 to confer with the prosecutor on the case before there's a resolution of the case. 13:21.342 --> 13:23.677 We had to file a lawsuit. 13:24.678 --> 13:29.266 [Jack Scarola] If a court says these victims were entitled to be heard, 13:29.850 --> 13:35.022 there may be a new hearing in front of a federal judge 13:35.272 --> 13:41.403 where these victims have a right to express their opposition to this deal, 13:42.071 --> 13:43.656 and a judge could decide, 13:43.948 --> 13:47.785 Jeffrey Epstein, you did enter into a contract 13:47.868 --> 13:49.620 that was illegal from the outset. 13:49.954 --> 13:51.664 It is going to be voided. 13:51.747 --> 13:55.751 You have no immunity. The federal government has the right... 13:56.877 --> 13:58.128 to prosecute you 13:58.212 --> 14:01.048 and the right to prosecute your co-conspirators. 14:01.507 --> 14:03.217 One of the next things that we did was 14:03.300 --> 14:05.970 we requested all of the email correspondence 14:06.053 --> 14:08.722 between the US Attorney's office and Jeffrey Epstein 14:08.973 --> 14:10.599 to support our allegation 14:10.683 --> 14:13.269 that there was this concerted effort 14:13.894 --> 14:14.770 to... 14:15.563 --> 14:18.023 arrive at a secret deal 14:18.482 --> 14:20.442 without the victims knowing. 14:20.526 --> 14:23.737 There were so many unusual occurrences 14:23.821 --> 14:27.157 that went on in connection with the negotiation 14:27.241 --> 14:29.743 of this non-prosecution agreement. 14:29.827 --> 14:34.039 There were hundreds of email communications 14:34.123 --> 14:35.708 that got exchanged. 14:37.167 --> 14:39.003 [Mike Fisten] We found out Marie Villafaña 14:39.086 --> 14:42.172 was sending emails back and forth to Jeffrey's lawyers 14:42.256 --> 14:44.592 asking them if they wanted to make any changes. 14:46.552 --> 14:49.930 I mean, at one point in her emails, she's telling Jeffrey's lawyers, 14:50.472 --> 14:55.477 "Don't email me at the office anymore.

He needs to be brought to justice." 52:37.112 --> 52:40.115 Then I said, "Okay, let's hold them accountable." 52:40.824 --> 52:43.243 And that's when we decided we're going to go get them. 52:43.952 --> 52:45.036 We're gonna go get them all. 're going to go get them.
