ABC News is reporting that accused sex trafficker—and billionaire whose source of billions is completely unclear—Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his cell this morning at the Manhattan Correctional Center. The initial report indicates that the man who has been accused of providing underaged sex slaves to politicians, royalty, and the wealthy from around the world committed suicide, despite the fact that he was supposedly on a suicide watch.
On Friday, thousands of pages of evidence against Epstein were released, including allegations that he had regularly obtained girls as young as 14-years-old and provided them to prominent men. One of those women was hired away from Donald Trump’s Mar-a-lago resort where she had been serving as a locker room attendant at the age of 16. Trump and Epstein had a long relationship, but appeared to have a falling out after Trump double-crossed Epstein in a real estate deal.
Few details about Epstein’s death are currently available. Epstein had denied the charges.
