In Perversion of Justice, Julie K Brown recounts the plight of the victims of the deceased financier Jeffrey Epstein and, allegedly, his sometime girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell, and how both avoided life-altering prosecution for a decade and more.
The author is a reporter at the Miami Herald. In November 2018, her three-part series injected Epstein into the publics conscience, leading to sex-trafficking charges. For her work, Brown won a Polk award.
She tracked down more than 60 women who claimed to be victims of abuse, and delivered the back story on an all-too-cozy relationship between prosecutors and Epsteins lawyers.
A sample headline: How a future Trump cabinet member gave a serial sex abuser the deal of a lifetime.
