SDNY Prosecutors Charge and Get Guilty Plea from Woman for Defrauding Epstein Victims Fund

SDNY COURTHOUSE, Sept 15 -- The prosecutors of the Southern District of New York have filed an information against, and obtained a guilty plea from, a woman for "defraud[ing] a fund created to compensate certain victims of Jeffrey Epstein."

   The information was listed on PACER on September 14, where Inner City Press found it, but said that none of the filings were yet available. On September 15, without any press release being issued, the filing went live: a single counsel of wire fraud against on Jennifer Percival.

   She was released on a $50,000 personal recognizance bond with the financial responsibly co-signer, after pleading guilty to the single count before SDNY Magistrate Judge Ona T. Wang.

  The case was wheeled out to District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil, who will review the recommendation to accept the guilty plea, and set a sentencing date.
