Billionaire Epstein found injured in cell: media
US billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, who is accused of sexually assaulting underage girls, was found injured in his jail cell after a possible suicide attempt, according to sources cited in multiple media reports.
Epstein was found semi-conscious with marks on his neck, anonymous law enforcement sources told media including NBC New York, the New York Post and TMZ.
The injuries are not believed to be serious, they added in reports Wednesday night.
Guards are also investigating whether he was the victim of a possible assault as they piece together what happened.
The financier was denied bail last week after appearing at a New York court charged with one count of sex trafficking of minors and one count of conspiracy to commit sex trafficking of minors.
