Epstein criminal case dismissed following his death, probe continues
None
A federal judge on Thursday formally dismissed the criminal sex trafficking case against Jeffrey Epstein, as prosecutors continue to investigate whether co-conspirators helped the financier before his death this month.
U.S. District Judge Richard Berman's order came two days after he said at a hearing that he was legally bound to dismiss the case.
Prosecutors said at the Tuesday hearing that an investigation into Epstein's alleged crimes would continue, and that the dismissal would not prevent them from charging possible co-conspirators in the future.
