Courtney Elizabeth Wild is an American survivor and advocate known for her role as an early victim of Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking network. As a teenager, she was recruited at age 14 in Florida, groomed by Ghislaine Maxwell, and sexually abused by Epstein multiple times between 2005 and 2007. She became the lead plaintiff (Jane Doe 1) in a groundbreaking 2008 federal lawsuit challenging the legality of Epstein's controversial non-prosecution agreement and lenient plea deal in Florida, which she argued violated the Crime Victims' Rights Act by excluding victims from the process. The case brought national attention to Epstein's crimes and the failures of the justice system, though it was ultimately dismissed on jurisdictional grounds in 2011 after appeals. Wild has remained a vocal advocate for sex trafficking survivors, contributing to documentaries such as Netflix's 'Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich' (2020) and Lifetime's 'Surviving Jeffrey Epstein' (2020), where she shared her story as additional crew and interviewee. A former competitive tennis player, she attended John Newcombe Tennis Academy, excelled at New Braunfels High School in Texas—going undefeated in singles and winning a 2010 state championship—and played for Ball State University's women's tennis team in 2014-15. Her experiences have positioned her as a key figure in the push for accountability in high-profile abuse cases.
