US Billionaire, Jeffrey Epstein, Found Dead In Prison

This is a conspiracy theorist’s heaven. He had previously been arrested for sleeping with underaged girls, but he was only given a slap on the wrist (in fact, he was treated like he was above the law). This was way back in the mid 2000s.

Some of the people that were involved in the first case say that they were told to back off because it involved national security/the intelligence services.

Then he was arrested again and there were rumours that he supplied underaged girls to Prince Andrew, Donald Trump and other very wealthy and connected people.

Now he is dead.

Wealthy financier Jeffrey Epstein has been found dead in his prison cell while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, US media report.

His body was discovered at 07:30 local time (11:30 GMT) on Saturday at the facility in New York.

The circumstances of his death are unclear. He was reportedly on suicide watch following an earlier incident.

Epstein, 66, had pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking and conspiracy charges and was being held without bail.

Last month, he was found semi-conscious in his cell with injuries to his neck. He was treated at a nearby hospital, reports say, before being returned to New York’s Metropolitan Correctional Center.

Epstein was accused of paying girls under the age of 18 to perform sex acts at his Manhattan and Florida mansions between 2002 and 2005.

He was arrested on 6 July after landing in New Jersey on his private jet.
