Two corrections officers who were supposed to be guarding the billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein when he killed himself in his New York City jail cell are expected to be charged Tuesday with failing to check on him, according to a report.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons employees are expected to appear in U.S. District Court in Manhattan later in the day, The New York Times reported. The newspaper initially reported the officers had been arrested, but later said it was unclear whether they had been taken into custody.
The employees, who havent been publicly identified, were supposed to monitor Epstein in his Metropolitan Correctional Center cell as he awaited trial on federal sex trafficking charges. Instead, they allegedly fell asleep, failed to check on him for about three hours, then falsified records to hide their inattention, the Times previously reported, citing law enforcement and prison officials.

The fact is, he was going to spend the rest of his life in prison. A guy who previously lived a lavish, jet-setter lifestyle is now confined to a small box. Occam's razor (and the NY ME) say he killed himself.
