Where he was waiting for his trial. Later on he was found dead by suicide because of the lack of supervision given by the security team in the center, the day before his trial.

Epstein got the deal of a lifetime when his secret plea deal got him a pity excuse for a sentence in which he only served 13 months and was able to leave with work release privileges.

My first article is, “Ten reasons why you should not care about human trafficking.” This article explains why someone would not want to care about helping the victims or try to help fight against human trafficking.
