Jeffrey Epstein, the money manager charged with sex trafficking in minors, has been returned to a federal jail in lower Manhattan after he was found injured and unresponsive in his cell, according to people familiar with the matter.
Authorities are investigating whether Epstein was assaulted, possibly by another inmate, or if the injuries were self-inflicted. He was found in his cell Tuesday with marks on his neck, according to one of the people, who asked not to be named because details of the incident aren’t public.
