Federal Indictment (United States District Court, Southern District of New York) • 839 KB
View

This document is a federal indictment against correctional officers Tova Noel and Michael Thomas for conspiracy and falsifying records related to the death of Jeffrey Epstein. The indictment alleges that on the night of August 9-10, 2019, the officers failed to perform mandatory counts and rounds in the Special Housing Unit (SHU) where Epstein was held, instead sleeping and browsing the internet. They subsequently falsified official count slips to make it appear that checks had been performed, leaving Epstein unobserved from approximately 10:30 p.m. until 6:30 a.m., when he was found dead by suicide.
