Jeffrey Epstein's life 'in jeopardy' as powerful pals don't want their secrets out, victim's lawyer claims

JEFFREY Epstein's life may be in danger as his powerful pals do not want him to reveal their secrets, his victims' lawyer has claimed.

Spencer Kuvin, who represents three of the billionaire perv's sex trafficking accusers, threw doubt on claims the financier attempted suicide.

Epstein was found "sprawled on the floor" and "blue in the face" in a New York jail, last Tuesday according to reports.

Investigators are still probing whether it was a suicide attempt or if the shamed 66-year-old was attacked.

Now Kuvin believes Epstein knows so much dirt about his rich and famous friends that there may be some individuals willing to organise a "hit" on him to prevent that information ever getting out.

"I question whether or not it was a true suicide attempt that Mr Epstein was involved in in jail or whether or not there may be some powerful people who just don’t want him to talk," Kuvin told Sun Online.

"If he goes on trial, everyone he’s been in contact with will ultimately be fair game.

"There’s no doubt in my mind that no jail will protect you when there’s powerful people that want to reach you - wherever you are.

"If he’s going to implicate anyone in power that has the ability to reach in and somehow get to him - his life is definitely in jeopardy.

"I do question whether it was a true suicide attempt. I mean how do you choke yourself? It doesn't make any sense.

"There are reports someone came after him but that could just be because he's a paedophile. Those types of individuals don't last long in prison.

"If Epstein is in general population or anywhere available to the general population I believe his life is in jeopardy.

"They will have to seal him down in the jail. But even there there are still people who can get to him, ultimately."

Epstein has been locked up in the Manhattan jail ahead of a trial for charges of sex trafficking involving dozens of underage girls.

He is accused of "sexually exploiting and abusing dozens of minor girls" at his homes in various locations.

Documents claim Epstein would pay girls "hundreds of dollars" to perform sex acts with him and would also pay certain victims "to recruit additional girls to be similarly abused."

Epstein was also arrested on similar charges in 2008 but managed to obtain a lenient "sweetheart" plea deal in which he only served 13 months in jail.

Now Kuvin speculated whether Epstein would even "survive" until his upcoming trial.

He likened the Epstein case to the Profumo affair - a 1959 British scandal in which politician John Profumo was forced to resign after having an affair with a 19-year-old showgirl called Christine Keeler.

Profumo met Keeler through his friend socialite Stephen Ward who introduced many rich and powerful men to beautiful women. Ward was subsequently put on trial for immorality offences - but killed himself before the verdict was announced.

"There are a lot of similarities between what happened in the Profumo affair and the Epstein case," Kuvin said.

"We know that Mr Ward, who was involved in that affair and the procurement of women for some notable people, was given bail and committed suicide while out on bail - so it’ll be interesting to see whether or not Mr Epstein attempts again to get out on bail and if he does whether he survives between now and the date of his trial.

"I also find it interesting that we had allegations as far back as then that there was apparently masked men attending parties with Ward - sex parties - among these circles of famous friends.
