Summary
Julie K. Brown, the Miami Herald investigative journalist whose 2018 "Perversion of Justice" series exposed Jeffrey Epstein's sex crimes and the lenient plea deal that concealed them, reflects on her Pulitzer Prize-winning work. Brown tracked down 80 Epstein survivors, with eight speaking to her and four going on the record. Her reporting led to Epstein's arrest eight months after publication.
