Julie K. Brown is the Miami Herald investigative journalist whose 2018 "Perversion of Justice" series brought renewed scrutiny to Jeffrey Epstein's 2008 plea deal. She appears extensively in the House Oversight documents, primarily as the author of cited news articles about the case.
Brown appears almost exclusively as a byline—her investigative reporting is referenced and cited throughout government records, court exhibits, and congressional materials. Multiple documents include full reprints or exhibits of her Miami Herald articles examining Epstein's prosecution, the role of prosecutor Alexander Acosta, and victim accounts. Her work is directly credited in documents discussing the 2019 Hillman Prize she won for the "Perversion of Justice" series. She is not a participant in the events but rather the journalist who exposed them.
