## Resource

A Florida woman, Jennifer Percival, pleaded guilty in federal court in New York to falsifying records in order to obtain money from a compensation fund for Jeffrey Epstein victims. Percival had applied to Epstein’s estate-funded victims program in late 2020 and was found ineligible for compensation. Years later, when she applied to a separate $290 million JPMorgan Chase settlement fund for Epstein survivors, prosecutors said she altered her original rejection letter to make it appear that the Epstein estate program had approved her claim and paid her $500,000. Based on those false representations, the JPMorgan fund paid her $750,000 in 2024. Percival later admitted that she fabricated the documentation because obtaining the money gave her a “sense of validation. The fraud deepened after the FBI began investigating. When agents confronted Percival in late 2025 with the genuine rejection letter, she falsely claimed she had successfully appealed the decision and then provided her lawyer with fabricated emails that were submitted to federal prosecutors in an effort to secure a deferred-prosecution agreement. Percival eventually admitted wrongdoing and arrived at her plea hearing with a check covering the $776,031 she owed in restitution. Prosecutors have not said whether she was actually one of Epstein’s victims, only that the records she used to obtain the settlement money were fraudulent. Under the plea agreement, federal sentencing guidelines called for roughly three to four years in prison, although the judge was not bound by that range. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: Florida woman pleads guilty to defrauding fund for Jeffrey Epstein victims - ABC News
