  • Federal prosecutors drop case against Jeffrey Epstein’s jail guards

EKO HOT BLOG reports that federal prosecutors asked a judge on Thursday to dismiss charges against two jail guards who were on duty the night Jeffery Epstein committed suicide in his cell.

The two guards on duty the night Epstein committed suicide in August 2019 acknowledged to falsifying records but reached an agreement with federal prosecutors to avoid jail time. In the housing unit where Epstein was being detained, the two “confessed that they ‘willfully and intentionally completed materially false count and round slips about needed counts and rounds.'”

According to Reuters, the two have been in compliance with six-month deferred prosecution agreements since May. The report said the two were accused of sleeping and checking out the internet on the night Epstein died.

Epstein was arrested on July 6, 2019 on federal sex trafficking charges. He was placed on suicide watch after he was found with a strip of bedsheet around his neck on July 23.

He was transferred to the prison’s hospital wing for about a week then returned to a regular cell on July 30. Epstein’s cellmate was transferred on Aug. 9, the day before Epstein was found unresponsive.
