Jeffrey Epstein placed on suicide watch after being found unresponsive and with injuries to his neck at a federal lockup in New York City, a source tells ABC News.
Millionaire and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, facing charges of federal sex trafficking, was placed on suicide watch after being found unresponsive and with injuries to his neck at a federal lockup in New York City, according to a law enforcement official briefed on the incident.
"Jeffrey Epstein is currently housed at MCC New York and not in a local hospital as has been reported," the Bureau of Prisons said in a statement released Thursday."As with all inmates, for privacy and security reasons, we do not share information on an inmate's medical status or their conditions of confinement."
Berman made the decision over the objections of defense attorneys who had argued that Epstein was a “disciplined” defendant willing to pay a bond of $100 million or more.
