The document discusses Jeffrey Epstein, a former Palm Beach resident who pleaded guilty in 2008 to two prostitution-related charges involving underage girls. It is revealed that Epstein paid three women $5.5 million to settle lawsuits related to the underage-sex allegations.

The government has made a new allegation in the Jeffrey Epstein case, claiming that two of the victims were complicit in his crimes and therefore cannot be considered victims under federal law. This claim was made during a routine status check on a 2008 lawsuit tied to Epstein's plea deal. The victims' attorney, Brad Edwards, plans to have other victims testify at trial and has filed a motion to overturn the non-prosecution agreement that protected Epstein from serious charges and prison time.
