Julie K. Brown
Investigative Reporter, Miami Herald
Background
Julie K. Brown is an investigative reporter for the Miami Herald whose 2018 series "Perversion of Justice" is widely credited with reigniting public and law enforcement interest in the Jeffrey Epstein case. Brown's reporting detailed the scope of Epstein's alleged crimes, the failures of the criminal justice system in holding him accountable, and the stories of survivors who had been silenced for years.
The "Perversion of Justice" series led to renewed scrutiny of the 2008 non-prosecution agreement and contributed to the political pressure that ultimately led to Epstein's 2019 arrest on federal charges in New York. Brown's work earned numerous journalism awards, and she subsequently authored the book "Perversion of Justice: The Jeffrey Epstein Story." Her investigative methodology of tracking down and interviewing dozens of Epstein's victims helped bring national attention to a case that many had considered closed.
