A settlement has been reached in the civil lawsuit against highly-connected pedophile and billionaire Jeffrey Epstein. This settlement is being described as a victory for survivors.

An attorney for Bradley Edwards announced in court on Tuesday morning that an agreement–including a financial settlement–had been reached. The details of said financial settlement are confidential.

Epstein was originally accused of trafficking over 40 underage girls and forcing them to have sex with powerful men.

In 2007, federal prosecutors, under the leadership of President Donald Trump’s current Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta, who was then a U.S. Attorney, quietly entered into a secret non-prosecution agreement with the billionaire which ensured that Epstein and his alleged co-conspirators would not be prosecuted federally in exchange for Epstein’s guilty plea to state prostitution charges.

Essentially, Epstein got a slap on the wrist and served 13 months in a Florida prison and home detention for solicitation and procurement of minors for prostitution.
