"The as-yet untitled series from Sony Pictures TV will provide an explosive account of an investigative reporter exposing the secret plea deal between Epstein and federal prosecutors."
"Brown's reporting was crucial to bringing public attention on Epstein, who was convicted of sex trafficking in Florida in 2008."
"The series, based on interviews with 60 women who claimed to be victims of abuse, brought Epstein's crimes back into the public consciousness, leading to sex-trafficking charges."
"In November 2018, the Miami Herald published her three-part series detailing the cozy relationship between prosecutors and Epstein's lawyers, and the many rich and powerful people who allegedly turned a blind eye to Epstein's abuses."
Laura Dern will portray journalist Julie K Brown in a limited series about the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, executive produced by Adam McKay. The screenplay is based on Brown's 2021 book, Perversion of Injustice: The Jeffrey Epstein story. The series will detail Brown's investigation that identified 80 victims and led to Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell's arrests. It highlights the secret plea deal between Epstein and federal prosecutors, bringing renewed public attention to Epstein's crimes and resulting in significant political repercussions.
