The Battle For Justice Against Epstein Raged Long Before The Miami Herald Investigation (10/29/25)

What most people don’t realize is that the Miami Herald didn’t “expose” Jeffrey Epstein’s sweetheart deal — three of his victims and their lawyers did. Long before the headlines, those women and attorneys Paul Cassell and Brad Edwards had been fighting for nearly a decade to uncover how then–U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta secretly gave Epstein and his network immunity from prosecution. Acosta’s office violated the Crime Victims Rights Act by hiding the non-prosecution agreement and misleading the victims into thinking the federal case was still alive. The Justice Department fought the victims at every turn, denying them information and arguing they had no rights, but Cassell and Edwards refused to quit. Their persistence forced the truth out: Epstein’s elite legal team dictated the deal, silenced victims, and helped him serve just 13 cushy months while his crimes went largely untouched.

The case exposed far more than Epstein’s depravity — it revealed a justice system built to serve power, not people. Poor, vulnerable girls were targeted, dismissed, and smeared while prosecutors and billionaires protected one another. The same biases that fail defendants crushed the victims too, showing how easily money warps the law. But despite every obstacle, those women and their lawyers won a ruling confirming the government’s illegal concealment, proving that even against billionaires and corrupt officials, truth can still claw its way to the surface. Their courage didn’t just expose Epstein — it ripped the mask off the system that shielded him.
