A made-for television series about a Miami reporter’s investigation and Jeffrey Epstein’s deal-of-a-lifetime is in the works. <\/p>\n
Sony Pictures Television’s limited series is based on the book “Perversion of Justice: The Jeffrey Epstein Story” by award winning Miami Herald journalist Julie K Brown. <\/p>\n
Laura Dern is expected to star as Brown whose three-year investigation helped uncover evidence that Epstein had sexually coerced and abused 80 young women, some as young as 13 leading to his re-arrest in 2019.<\/p>\n
“This is what happens when a reporter refuses to give up on a story,”\u00a0The Columbia Journalism Review\u00a0wrote on Twitter following Epstein’s arrest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her 2018 book also led to the resignation of President Trump’s\u00a0United States Secretary of Labor in 2019. She exposed the secret deal that then-US Attorney\u00a0Alex Acosta had brokered allowing Epstein to plead guilty to two state-level prostitution offenses in 2008 for which he spent very little waking time in jail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A made-for television series about a Miami reporter’s investigation and Jeffrey Epstein’s deal-of-a-lifetime is in the works.
