Convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was allowed to buy small women’s underwear while serving a jail
sentence for soliciting a minor for prostitution, official records have revealed.
Epstein, a wealthy financier with links to the higher ranks of US society, hung himself in his cell in
Manhattan following his arrest last month. He had pleaded not guilty to federal charges of sex trafficking
involving dozens of underage girls as young as 14.
