On August 10, 2019, Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his jail cell. A the time, he had been charged with trafficking of a minor. However, the disgraced multimillionaire was suspected of committing crimes against underage girls long before his 2019 arrest. Survivors who came forward said that he had been assaulting girls as young as 14 for decades.
Epstein was accused of inviting vulnerable teen girls, often from troubled backgrounds, to his mansion to give him massages, after which he would eventually assault them and pay them. His exceptional manipulation skills and wealth allegedly allowed him to build a network who would recruit even more girls for him. It's also alleged that he flew his favorites around the world with him and shared them with his famous friends. There are claims that important figures such as Hollywood producers, politicians, and British royals may have been involved.
