The Epstein Case in 2008
The year 2008 saw Epstein serve his sentence at the Palm Beach County Stockade under a work release program that allowed him to spend up to 12 hours per day at his office. Victims, who had not been informed about the plea deal as required by law, began filing legal challenges. The Crime Victims' Rights Act litigation would continue for over a decade. Documents from this period include jail records, work release agreements, and the first victim rights filings.
