Federal law enforcement officials have announced charges against two U.S. Bureau of Prisons employees reportedly responsible for keeping watch over wealthy financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in the hours leading up to his death.
The employees were expected to be taken into custody Tuesday on charges relating to alleged dereliction of duty on the night of Epstein‘s death at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, The New York Times reported.
According to a Department of Justice news release, Tova Noel and Michael Thomas are charged with falsifying official documents to “defraud the United States by impairing the lawful functions” of the MCC and bury workplace improprieties that may have indirectly resulted in Epstein’s death.
