NEW YORK (AP) — Federal prosecutors say their investigation remains ongoing into the allegations of sexual abuse against financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Epstein was found dead of an apparent suicide Saturday at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan. He had been charged with conspiracy and sex trafficking last month.
U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman said Saturday his office is still looking into the Epstein case and urged other potential victims to come forward.
He noted in a statement that the indictment against Epstein contained a conspiracy charge, suggesting others could face charges in the case.
Prosecutors say he sexually abused dozens of underage girls. Epstein had pleaded not guilty.
