Epstein's Prison Guards Indicted
Michael Thomas and Tova Noel, who were on duty the night before Epstein was found dead at the Metropolitan Correctional Center by suicide Aug. 10, have been indicted by a grand jury with six counts tied to falsifying prison records.
The allegations are that Thomas and Noel sat at their desk, browsed the internet for furniture and motorcycles, and moved around a common area.
Epstein was in the cell closest to the common area, which meant the guards were approximately 15 feet away, the indictment says. He was supposed to be checked every 30 minutes, but no checks were conducted.
Also, for a period of approximately two hours, "Noel and Thomas sat at their desk without moving and appeared to have been asleep," the indictment says.
