Epstein: Charges dropped against prison guards who falsified records - plea deal.
US prosecutors have dismissed charges against two prison guards who falsified records the night Jeffrey Epstein killed himself on their watch.
Tova Noel and Michael Thomas admitted to fabricating log entries to show they had monitored Epstein properly.
Prosecutors have asked a judge to dismiss their case, saying the pair have complied with a plea deal.
A convicted sex offender, Epstein was found dead in his jail cell on the morning of 10 August 2019.
The American financier had been awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges, and had pleaded not guilty to sexually abusing dozens of girls, some as young as 14.
As part of a plea deal, the pair agreed to complete 100 hours of community service and co-operate with an investigation by the justice department's inspector general.
On 13 December, federal prosecutors filed a "nolle prosequi" - a legal document that declares they no longer wished to pursue the case - and said Ms Noel and Mr Thomas had satisfactorily complied with the agreement.
