THE Florida prosecutor behind notorious billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s sweetheart plea deal DELIBERATELY sabotaged the case — and betrayed the sex fiend’s innocent young victims, a top lawyer charges as explosive secret court transcripts have been unsealed under a new law!
The court documents reveal Palm Beach County prosecutors, who should have been making sure the well-connected pervert paid for his crimes, instead ruthlessly portrayed two of his victims as scheming, drug-addicted hookers before a grand jury investigating the predator’s crimes!
The character assassination on the kids was so vicious it traumatized one 14-year-old girl to the point where she wanted to drop the charges against the twisted financier, who got off with a slap on the wrist — and was allowed to live large at his Palm Beach mansion during the day after agreeing to return to the Palm Beach County Jail at night.
“She was literally in tears,” the teen’s attorney Spencer Kuvin tells GLOBE. “She was really upset and didn’t want to continue anymore.
“Her instructions [to prosecutors] at that time — which were thankfully changed — were to ‘drop it all — I don’t want any part of this.’
“It was all I could do to not strangle, figuratively speaking of course, the state attorneys.”
The state attorney at the time, Barry Krischer, had enough damning police evidence to charge Epstein with rape but suspiciously took the case to a grand jury, where his underlings Lanna Belohlavek and Mary Ann Duggan badgered and humiliated the victims, transcripts show.
