The American billionaire, Jeffrey Epstein, accused of sexual exploitation of minors, committed suicide in prison last night.
According to АВС, the US billionaire committed suicide at night in his cell in the lower Manhattan prison in a federal prison, where he was held while awaiting trial for sexual trafficking.
Jeffrey Epstein is accused of seducing and involving dozens of underage girls in prostitution. According to prosecutors, between 2002 and 2005, Epstein had sexual relations with dozens of underage girls at his home in New York and Florida.
In addition, the girls were recruited to bring in new minors, as some of the victims were only 14 years old.
He was charged with trafficking in minors for the purpose of sexual exploitation.
The allegations led to the resignation of US Labor Secretary Alex Acosta. In 2008, Acosta was sentenced as a prosecutor to only 13 months in prison, although the billionaire faced life in prison. The case against the billionaire reopened in July 2019.
