A Florida judge this week ruled not to scrap the non-prosecution agreement that protected convicted sex offender and alleged sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and his alleged accomplices, just months after ruling that it had violated the Crime Victims’ Rights Act (CVRA).
U.S. District Judge Kenneth Marra on Monday, Sept. 16 said the controversial plea deal will remain intact despite a previous ruling on Feb. 21 that prosecutors at the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida broke the law when it was arranged in 2007 without notifying victims.
