In a rare, perhaps unprecedented move by a federal judge, the alleged victims of sexual abuser Jeffrey Epstein are expected to given a chance to speak Tuesday at a posthumous hearing on plans to dismiss his sexual trafficking indictment.

The onetime Palm Beach billionaire was convicted years ago in state court of sexually abusing underage girls after federal prosecutors reached a secret nonprosecution deal. He died by suicide Aug. 10 after being denied bond on new parallel charges in Manhattan.
