Jeffrey Epstein

In Palm Beach County, the first prosecutor to pursue criminal charges torpedoed his own case, but the reading room might be exhibited in Fort Lauderdale.

Playwright Sheri Wilner-Deering was doing research for her next play. It was the Fall of 2025 and she wanted to write about women who stood up to powerful men. She started searching and found material in court records, all in the public record, including a 2006 Palm Beach grand jury proceeding, where two survivors testified, and a New York hearing after Epstein’s death in 2019, where 23 survivors gave statements. Those accounts became the basis for “The Does,” which will be presented in a staged reading in Miami on Sunday, Oct. 4.

The congressional committee investigating disgraced financier and sex trafficker Jeffery Epstein held a field hearing Tuesday in West Palm Beach, where he received the infamous sweetheart deal that allowed him to avoid federal charges.

The Justice Department on Thursday released additional Jeffrey Epstein files involving uncorroborated accusations made by a woman against President Donald Trump that the department said had been mistakenly withheld during an earlier review.

In an exclusive interview with WLRN, Miami Herald investigative reporter Julie Brown said millions of newly released documents related to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking case is a litmus test of the American justice system’s ability to protect its most vulnerable citizens.

The latest collection of U.S. government investigative files released on Jeffrey Epstein include emails from Philip Levine, the former Miami Beach mayor, to the millionaire financier and his one-time girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell.The files include emails where Levine refers to Epstein as "my friend" and "a great guy."

A federal judge says the Justice Department can publicly release investigative materials from a sex trafficking case against Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime confidant of Jeffrey Epstein. The ruling, in the wake of the passage last month of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, means the records could be made public within 10 days.

On "The Florida Roundup," U.S. Rep. Lois Frankel and Miami Herald investigative reporter Ben Wieder discuss the Jeffrey Epstein case and calls for transparency.

A House push to release files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein cleared a significant hurdle Nov. 12, as Democrats and a handful of Republicans reached 218 signatures to force a floor vote on a bill to release the files within 30 days.

The national anti-trafficking coalition World Without Exploitation expanded its "Courage Is Contagious" campaign into Florida, placing new billboards in Miami, West Palm Beach, and Stuart to press for the full release of files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

A House committee has released a collection of birthday messages sent to Jeffrey Epstein, featuring entries from two U.S. presidents, Donald Trump and Bill Clinton. The messages were compiled in 2003 and include greetings from Epstein's relatives, business executives and scientists. Some notes are simple well wishes, while others are crude or sexually explicit.

This comes as the Trump administration scrambles to present itself as transparent amid a fierce backlash over an earlier refusal to disclose a trove of records from the sex-trafficking case.
