I find it very difficult to believe that there would not be plenty of good lawyers who would be willing to defend Epstein's victims on a pro bono basis. Left-leaning one who'd be delighted to defend against defamation suits from Republican politicians or big-business types, right-leaning ones who'd be delighted to defend against defamation suits from Democrat politicians or folks from the left-leaning non-profit sector, or even old-school feminists who would defend against any defamation suit to prevent the silencing of women, regardless of whose ox is being gored by the accuations.
