STATEMENT OF MANHATTAN U.S. ATTORNEY ON THE DEATH OF DEFENDANT 
JEFFREY EPSTEIN 
Manhattan U.S. Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman said: "Earlier this morning, the Manhattan 
Correctional Center confirmed that Jeffrey Epstein, who faced charges brought by this Office of 
engaging in the sex trafficking of minors, had been found unresponsive in his cell and 
pronounced dead shortly thereafter. Today's events are disturbing, and we are deeply aware of 
their potential to present yet another hurdle to giving Epstein's many victims their day in Court. 
To those brave young women who have already come forward and to the many others who have 
yet to do so, let me reiterate that we remain committed to standing for you, and our investigation 
of the conduct charged in the Indictment — which included a conspiracy count — remains 
ongoing. 
We continue to urge anyone who feels they may be a victim or have information related 
to the conduct in this case to please contact 1-800- CALL FBI."
