A settlement has been reached in a civil lawsuit against multimillionaire Jeffrey Epstein in Palm Beach County.

An attorney for Bradley Edwards, who was seeking unspecified damages from Epstein, announced in court on Tuesday that a financial settlement has been reached, but the details are confidential.

The deal came on the same day jury selection was set to begin in the civil case.

Epstein was accused of luring underage girls into a life of sexual abuse. The 65-year-old pleaded guilty in 2008 to state prostitution charges and served 13 months in jail, although he was allowed to leave during the week to go to work. He also became a registered sex offender.

Last week, a report from the Miami Herald revealed that current Labor Secretary Alex Acosta, then a federal prosecutor for the Southern District of Florida, cut a deal with Epstein that kept him out of prison.

Edwards, who represented some of the alleged victims in the Epstein case, claimed Epstein tried to damage his reputation by suing him.

In court on Tuesday, Epstein's attorney read back an apology letter from Epstein to Edwards.

"What happened today was a win," said Edwards at a news conference after the settlement was announced.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. With the Florida recount process wrapping up, ideas on how to improve the election process for 2020 is already being talked about.  

This is the new normal for elections, said Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections Susan Bucher.

The spotlight was shining on two of the states largest counties, Palm Beach and Broward, and not always in a good way.

Outdated equipment, machine malfunctions and unexpectedly high voter turnout was getting a lot of the blame for why recounts wouldnt meet state-mandated deadlines. 

What do we do to make sure this doesnt happened again?" asked NewsChannel 5s Michael Williams. 

On Sundays edition of "To the Point," guests on both sides of the political aisle shared their thoughts. 

Lets put some teeth into the statute moving forward and say to the supervisor of elections, 'If you dont meet your deadline of meeting votes, so suddenly you cant come up with 80,000 votes after the fact, there ought to be fines or penalties or something to make sure they comply,' said attorney and Republican National Committee member Peter Feaman. 

The ultimate decider is at the ballot box. There they can decide who they want to retain and who they dont, said attorney John Whittles, who works with the Democratic party.  

Yet, Bucher said she believes the answer could be found in future staffing. 

We have a small team, and we have to get bigger because I think this is the normal, said Bucher. 

Bucher has also repeatedly said they need new voting equipment.   

We need to beef it up before 2020, said Bucher. 

Bucher has previously said, We have in our budget currently to update our equipment just right after this election; need to pass a little piece of legislation and were hopeful that well purchase that equipment in March."

Before any new machines are allowed to run in Palm Beach County, they will have to be certified in Tallahassee. 

Mail bombing suspect Cesar Sayoc worked as a DJ at Ultra Gentleman's Club in West Palm Beach, Fla., the same strip club where Trump accuser Stormy Daniels performed in April.

WPTV spoke to Ultra manager Stacey Saccal who confirmed that Sayoc worked as a DJ Thursday afternoon, the day before he was arrested in Plantation. She said Sayoc had worked there for two months as a DJ and doorman.

Saccal said there had been no complaints about Sayoc from other employees prior to his arrest Friday.

She said that they are in "shock and disbelief" after learning about the arrest and described him as a "nice guy."

"I never knew that his van was covered in political stickers. I thought it was an ice cream truck," Saccal said, noting that he parked far from the club.

Scott Migs, a co-worker of 20 years and fellow DJ, said on Sayoc's last day on the job he brought in two duffel bags and a cooler.

When asked if he thought there were weapons in the bags Migs says he doesn't know but says Sayoc kept them behind the DJ booth. Migs characterizes Sayoc as an extremely nice guy who volunteered to work for him so he could take his son to Fright Nights at the South Florida Fairgrounds.

The club, formerly T's Lounge, is on Congress Avenue near Gun Club Road.

After WPTV finished our interview with Saccal, a PBSO deputy walked in to talk to her.

When Officer Thomas Morash was killed in the line of duty 15 years ago, the West Palm Beach, Florida Police Department made it their mission to take care of his daughter, Tatyana Morash.

"I was only eight, so I don't really remember much," she said. "It's all a blur to me, but having them all there for me is what I do remember."

For Morash's brothers and sisters, it's all too clear.

"What's really hard is to see somebody....whose 8-year-old doesn't really have the concept of what happened," said West Palm Beach Lt. Frank Distefano.

The officers made a pact to always be there.

"Growing up, they always told me I always had all these uncles," she said. "I think he'd be proud....proud of all his brothers," she recalled.

Tatyana said she remembers bits and pieces.  Her father's fellow officers work to keep her memory alive.

"Everybody tells me how good of a person he was, and that's how I remember him," she said.

The WPBD was there for all the milestones.  Birthdays, graduation, even her engagement.  

Tatyana said the officers put her fiance in the back of the patrol car and told her they'd release him if she answered one question.  She said yes, and now they're all headed to her wedding in Georgia in November.

"I have to know he's watching over and it will be a happy day because I don't want it to be a sad day," she said.

The honor guard will be at her wedding and a former West Palm Beach police captain will walk her halfway down the aisle.  Her mom will do the other half.

"We continue to be there, and we plan on being there forever," said West Palm Beach Police Department Detective Ron Robbins.

"That became our mission years ago, serving those left behind," said Lt. Distefano.

Tatyana said the only thing she can say to her dad's extended family, which is now also hers: "A million times thank you."

Now, they're getting ready to be in her wedding and walk her down the aisle.
