The guards’ indictment was unsealed on Tuesday as the director of the federal prison system told Congress that the FBI is investigating whether there was anything criminal about Epstein’s death. The official said the FBI is “looking at criminal enterprise”, but declined to discuss specifics. Epstein had been found in his cell with a strip of bedsheet around his neck in July. Thomas was one of the jail officers who responded to the earlier incident
Jason Foy, a lawyer for Noel, said he is “prepared to defend this case” if he can’t “reach a reasonable agreement” with prosecutors. Montell Figgins, an attorney for Thomas, said his client was offered a plea deal but it “is not something he wants to do”. Epstein, who was worth hundreds of millions of dollars, was arrested in July as he was returning to the US from Paris. He was charged with sex trafficking of girls, faced life in prison if convicted, and was being held without bail. He denied wrongdoing.
