When staff was able to revive Epstein, he couldn't recall what happened.

Metropolitan Detention Center has initiated an investigation per their SOPs. Per SDNY, the Washington Post has made an inquiry of the incident. | On 12/6/2018, FBI NY initiated a case after Southern District of New York (SDNY) contacted FBI NY regarding several victims that had been sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein in the mid 2000's. Epstein invited minors into his residences, one of which was located in Manhattan, New York (NY) and paid them to provide messages to him which turned sexual in nature. Afterwards, Epstein paid the minors $200 and up. On 7/6/2019, Epstein was arrested in NJ and transported to NY without incident. On 7/6/2019, a search warrant was executed at Epstein's residence in Manhattan, NY upon which several items were seized. On 7/8/2019, Epstein pled not guilty.
