Serious failures at a New York jail gave convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein the opportunity to take his life, federal investigators found.

Guards left Epstein alone and failed to check on him or search his cell, according to a report by the US justice department's watchdog.

The report says that 13 employees failed in their duties.

Epstein, 66, was awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges at the time of his death.

The watchdog said it had identified "numerous and serious failures" in the jail.

The justice department inspector general found guards failed to conduct rounds, neglected to monitor Epstein and later falsified jail records after the fact to cover up their misconduct.

 

The 120-page report said that, despite Epstein's previous suicide attempt, guards did not assign him a cellmate and allowed him access to extra bed linens, which were used in his suicide.

The report also says surveillance cameras near the unit where he was housed were not working, meaning they did not capture video footage of outside his cell the night he died.

 

FULL STORY

I would disagree.

 

The jail appears to have succeeded. Epstein is gone, a couple of Britons (Ghislaine Maxwell and Prince Andrew) have been hung out to dry while all the powerful individuals (Clinton, Gates etc.) who visited Epstein island and travelled on the Lolita Express have discreetly exited stage left.

 

Job's a good 'un.

Now there’s a conspiracy theory I’d give weight to

Too many coincidences for this to be kosher.
