Report: Jeffrey Epstein Found Dead in Jail


Recommended Posts

Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced millionaire who was facing federal sex trafficking charges, died by suicide early Saturday in his Lower Manhattan prison cell, three law enforcement officials told ABC News.

Epstein hanged himself, law enforcement sources said. He was transported in cardiac arrest at 6:39 a.m. from Metropolitan Correctional Center to New York Downtown Hospital, according to sources.

His death came less than three weeks after he was found unresponsive in his cell at the federal prison in Lower Manhattan, with marks on his neck that appeared to be self-inflicted, sources told ABC News.

He had been on suicide watch since the July 23 incident.

Epstein was arrested on July 6 for alleged sex trafficking of minor girls at his Upper East Side mansion and his home in Palm Beach, Florida. Some of the charges date back to the early 2000s.

His alleged crimes were thrown back into the spotlight amid renewed scrutiny of the plea deal Epstein reached with the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Miami in 2007, led by then-U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta. A non-prosecution agreement allowed Epstein, a hedge-fund manager, to plead guilty to two state charges and avoid federal charges for an allegedly broad pattern of similar sexual misconduct. He would serve just 13 months of an 18-month sentence in county jail in Florida.

The victims in that case were not made aware of the negotiations for nearly a year after the agreement was signed, according to their attorney.

The deal is currently under review by the Justice Department’s Office of Professional Responsibility. Acosta was serving as President Trump's Labor Secretary amid the controversy over his role in the deal. He later resigned from that position

Ivory towers are falling.  As a resident of Arkansas, i have been waiting for years for the Clinton's activities to be exposed.  Love the term "Arkancide". I have followed the prophetic ministry of Mark Taylor.  He has said the Clintons, Bushes, and Obamas (and many others) will fall from grace.  Bring it on.

Not very surprised to hear this.  It will be interesting to see if his secrets will die with hiim.  

 

I believe they are dead already. There is no way the powerful people that have been listed would let this guy bring them down. Former presidents, senators, governors, even the royal family...  People in those circles don't lose.

 

Let me put it in simple terms..... Let the cover-up begin.

Sorry.....people on a suicide watch don't have the materials in the cell to hang themselves....    CL

 

Exactly.... Anyone who doesn't understand that the power elite don't go down, doesn't understand how the world really works. This guy was offed to shut him up. The rest of the story/list with quietly go away and next week we'll be talking about skinheads and loser white guys who's only mission in life is to become famous through murder... Or that some movie broke new records... Whatever becomes the new focus, it won't be presidents, governors, princes or any other rich guy molesting girls. JHMO

In those cases ( happened before with jailed folks )  there are 2 options....Either he   indeed killed himself or he got   murdered ( there  are 100's of ways to do that even when you get locked up)

 

 

Please check the "Arrest, trial and death" part

Here is an MSN article taken from The New York Times. Unfortunately, does NOT surprise me. I would have thought the entities taking the "suspect" into "custody" would have put the safe guards in place to PREVENT THIS!!!

 

Jeffrey Epstein Commits Suicide at Manhattan Jail, Officials Say

Jeffrey Epstein, the financier who was long dogged by accusations of sexual abuse of girls and who was able to cultivate a stream of high-profile friends despite his lurid lifestyle, killed himself in his Manhattan jail cell, two law enforcement officials said on Saturday.

Mr. Epstein hanged himself and his body was found at roughly 7:30 a.m. Saturday at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan.

 

Last month, a week after being denied bail on federal sex trafficking charges, Mr. Epstein was found unconscious in his cell at the jail in Manhattan with marks on his neck. Prison officials had been investigating that incident as a possible suicide attempt.

It was not immediately clear on Saturday whether Mr. Epstein was under suicide watch or whether the authorities had put in additional safeguards after the earlier incident.

Manhattan federal prosecutors last month charged Mr. Epstein, 66, with sex trafficking of girls as young as 14. The indictment renewed attention toward how Mr. Epstein — who had opulent homes, a private jet and access to elite circles — had escaped severe punishment in an earlier investigation into his abuse of girls more than a decade ago in Florida.

He had avoided federal criminal charges in 2008 after prosecutors brokered a widely criticized deal that allowed him to plea to state charges of solicitation of prostitution from a minor and serve 13 months in jail. Even while in custody, Mr. Epstein was allowed to leave the jail for 12 hours a day, six days a week, to work at his office in Florida.

The new federal indictment also focused scrutiny on an array of luminaries in government, politics, business, academia, science and fashion with whom Mr. Epstein had associated over the years, including Donald J. TrumpBill Clinton, Prince Andrew of Britain and the retail billionaire Leslie Wexner.

On Saturday morning, the federal Bureau of Prisons did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Mr. Epstein’s defense team — the lawyers Reid Weingarten, Marty Weinberg and Michael Miller — said in a statement that they could not confirm his cause of death and trusted that it would be investigated by the United States Attorney’s office and the United States Marshals Service.

“We are enormously sorry to learn of today’s news. No one should die in jail,” they said.

A cache of previously sealed legal documents, released on Friday by a federal appeals court, provided new, disturbing details about what was going on inside Mr. Epstein’s homes and how his associates recruited young women and girls, including from a Florida high school.

The documents — among the most expansive sets of materials publicly disclosed in the 13 years since Mr. Epstein was first charged with sex crimes — include depositions, police incident reports, photographs, receipts, flight logs and even a memoir written by a woman who said she was a sex trafficking victim of Mr. Epstein and his acquaintances.

The documents were filed as part of a defamation lawsuit in federal court that Virginia Giuffre brought in 2015 against Ghislaine Maxwell, Mr. Epstein’s longtime companion and confidante. Ms. Giuffre, who had accused Mr. Epstein and Ms. Maxwell of sexually abusing her starting when she was 16, settled the lawsuit with Ms. Maxwell shortly before the trial was to begin in 2017.

The Miami Herald and other media outlets petitioned the court to have the lawsuit documents unsealed. The request was initially denied, but an appeals court ordered them released last month.

Days after the ruling, on July 3, Mr. Epstein was arrested at Teterboro Airport after his private plane landed on a flight from Paris. Federal prosecutors charged him with sex trafficking and sex trafficking conspiracy.

Prosecutors said in their indictment that he and his employees engaged in a sex trafficking scheme, bringing girls as young as 14 to both his Upper East Side mansion and his palatial waterfront home in Palm Beach, Fla., between 2002 and 2005.

He pleaded not guilty to the charges. If convicted, he would have faced up to 45 years in prison.

Mr. Epstein had sought home detention at his Upper East Side mansion while he awaited trial. His lawyers had proposed allowing Mr. Epstein to post a substantial bond and stay in his luxurious seven-story townhouse, watched by 24-hour security guards, at his expense.

But a federal judge denied the request, concluding that Mr. Epstein was a flight risk, citing his “vast wealth,” which prosecutors have placed at more than $500 million.

Mr. Epstein, a former money manager with Wall Street experience, depicted himself as a wealthy financier with stellar investment savvy.

In addition to his homes in Florida and New York, he also owned a private island in the United States Virgin Islands, a massive ranch in New Mexico and a residence in Paris. He had numerous high-end vehicles and access to private planes and helicopters.

Mr. Epstein’s younger brother, Mark, was his “only living immediate family member,” according to a memo filed in federal court last month by Mr. Epstein’s lawyers. The memo described the pair as close.

Mr. Epstein levied his supposed financial prowess to cultivate connections to a dazzling assembly of elected officials, prominent scientists and business elites. His acquaintances, at various moments, included President Trump, Stephen Hawking and Prince Andrew, the Duke of York.

Even after he served time in a Florida jail and became a registered sex offender, Mr. Epstein successfully maintained a reputation as a billionaire investor, philanthropist and sophist.

In the time since Mr. Epstein’s arrest, evidence has suggested that the former money manager’s business acumen was more myth than fact. His client list was not as extensive as believed, and the services he offered were less remarkable than once portrayed.

Earlier this week, perhaps Mr. Epstein’s most notable client, Mr. Wexner, the executive behind Victoria’s Secret and Bath & Body Works, accused Mr. Epstein of misappropriating “vast sums of money” from him and his family.

I am amazed that he did not commit suicide by shooting himself twice in the back of the head !! Maybe to obvious being a jail. That was the ruling on another person that was going to testify against the Clinton cartel. Rich something or other. Can't remember his name.
