VIRGINIA GUIFFRE TOOK A FINANCIAL SETTLEMENT FROM JEFFREY EPSTEIN and SO DID SIXTEEN OTHER WOMEN THAT SHE KNEW ABOUT

 In her book,  Virginia Guiffre states that she knew that sixteen women had taken settlements from Jeffrey Epstein rather than go forward with legal action against him.

Excerpt pages 212-213 :  "There are those who've criticized Epstein's victims for entering into confidential settlements with Epstein because, they assert, that allowed him to sweep his problems under the rug. People are particularly judgmental about our receiving money from him.  My response to that is anger.  The DOJ - not Epstein's victims - made the secret deal that ultimately let Epstein off the hook in 2008: Alexander Acosta, the US attorney for the Southern District of Florida, approved the non prosecution agreement behind closed doors without consulting with (and while actively misleading) Epstein's victims.  Afterwards, those of us whom Epstein had abused were told that was the end of it - Epstein wouldn't be prosecuted. no matter how much we wanted him to be. We were also told that extracting money from him was the only way to punish him. (Remember that it was the DOJ that connected me with a lawyer so I could sue.) But here's the real reason I'm angry at those who judge victims who settle: all that legalese in our lawsuits about pain and suffering and mental anguish - those things are real. And getting treatment for them costs money.

When I settled with Epstein, I had a little money for the first time in my life. After years of scrimping - of buying secondhand furniture, driving used cars, and xeroxing baby photos instead of ordering extra prints - Robbie and I could now buy our first house.  We found a brick three-bedroom in the suburb of Glenning Valley, about two hours north of Sydney. Epstein had taken what was left of my childhood. But now a tiny fraction of his immense fortune was going to ensure that my children grew up in their own home."
