The plea deal of Jeffrey Epstein, which he agreed to in 2007 to avoid federal charges, remains sealed. Palm Beach County Circuit Judge Jeffrey Colbath has given Epstein's attorney until Friday to justify keeping the documents sealed. The plea deal was a significant inducement for Epstein, who is serving 18 months in the Palm Beach County Stockade and facing several civil lawsuits. The sealing of court documents in Florida is unusual, and lawyers typically need to prove a significant reason for it. The Palm Beach Post and a woman identified as E.W. are seeking to unseal the documents.
