Before the Epstein scandal, there was the Franklin scandal. In 1988, six victims in Omaha, Nebraska, accused powerful and affluent men of abusing them and others when they were minors. Nebraska state and federal grand juries declared their accusations a "hoax." Two decades later, a Florida grand jury declared that Jeffrey Epstein had not abused a single minor. The victims in Nebraska were pressured to recant their accusations, but a 20-year-old woman, Alisha Owen, refused. Facing 200 years in prison for perjury, she still refused to recant. When she was 22 years old, a kangaroo court sentenced her to between 9 and 15 years for perjury. She spent nearly two years in solitary confinement. On September 29, join us for a webinar that shows how the Epstein scandal is essentially a carbon copy of the Franklin scandal. Alisha Owen will discuss her harrowing odyssey through the Nebraska state and federal judiciaries, revealing a parallel universe, one that coexists with the universe of Little League, Boy Scouts, Disneyland, and the other hallmarks of wholesome, youthful Americana. It is a parallel universe where lies masquerade as truth, where shadows reflect light, and where innocence is condemned. This webinar will be informative, but it will go beyond awareness. It will equip attendees with real, actionable steps to demand accountability and fight back against the Epstein cover-up. We will also have a live Q&A with Epstein Justice Co-Director Alisha Owen and Director of Epstein Justice, Nick Bryant. Watch The Webinar: epsteinjustice.com/webinar #trialsnotfiles

Channel Nine Served With Federal Court Proceedings in Jamie McIntyre $4 Million-Plus Claim Nine Entertainment has been served with Federal Court proceedings brought by self-made millionaire, property developer and political commentator Jamie McIntyre over an A Current Affair report that McIntyre alleges seriously damaged his reputation. The proceeding is seeking more than AUD $4 million in damages and other relief, according to McIntyre. The Commonwealth Courts Portal confirms that proceeding WAD343/2026 — Jamie McIntyre v Nine Entertainment Co Pty Limited was filed in the Federal Court of Australia’s Western Australia Registry on 17 September 2026. The matter is currently recorded as open. The lawsuit centres on allegations concerning Nine’s reporting about McIntyre and a Balinese builder, including the portrayal that McIntyre owed the builder approximately AUD $900,000. McIntyre maintains that this portrayal was false and fundamentally reversed the true financial position between the parties. According to McIntyre, the relevant court ruling did not find that he owed the builder $900,000. He says the evidence and findings instead supported the opposite conclusion: that money was owed to McIntyre’s interests. Despite this, McIntyre alleges that Channel Nine and A Current Affair presented Australian viewers with a sensationalised and misleading story that portrayed him as having failed to pay an impoverished Balinese builder. McIntyre claims the program was a calculated “hit piece” that ignored or misrepresented critical evidence, causing substantial damage to his personal and professional reputation. Nine Now Required to Answer in Federal Court The filing of the proceeding does not itself determine liability, and Nine will have the opportunity to respond to McIntyre’s allegations. However, McIntyre says the case will now force the network to defend its reporting in court and explain the evidentiary basis for broadcasting the allegations. “This was not responsible journalism—it was character assassination,” McIntyre said. “Channel Nine portrayed me as owing a poor Balinese builder approximately $900,000, when the court outcome supported the opposite position. Nine has refused to correct the record, retract the story or apologise for the damage it caused.” McIntyre alleges that Nine continued to promote the story even after being placed on notice of the facts and the relevant court outcome. He says that refusal to correct the public record substantially aggravated the damage caused by the original broadcast. Demand for Retraction and Apology McIntyre is pursuing more than $4 million in damages, together with any further relief sought in the Federal Court proceeding. He is also demanding that Channel Nine and A Current Affair retract the allegedly false claims, correct the public record and issue an apology. McIntyre says the case raises broader questions about the power of major media organisations to publicly condemn individuals before properly testing the evidence. “Large media corporations cannot be permitted to destroy someone’s reputation for ratings and then refuse to correct the story when the facts contradict their preferred narrative,” he said. “Channel Nine has had the opportunity to retract and apologise. Instead, it has continued to allow Australian viewers to be misled. The matter will now be tested in the Federal Court.” The publicly available court record presently confirms the identity of the parties, the filing date and that the proceeding remains open. The allegations and damages claim have not yet been finally determined by the Court. Nine Entertainment should be invited to respond to the allegations.
