MIAMI (AP) — Federal prosecutors say a once-secret plea deal reached over a decade ago with wealthy convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein must stand, despite objections from many of his victims.
Prosecutors said in a new court filing that a violation of the Crime Victims' Rights Act does not allow for the agreement to be voided.
Some of the victims claim it should be thrown out at least partially, because they were not consulted as required.
Now it's up to a federal judge to decide what to do.
