Former federal prosecutors told INSIDER that after Epstein's death on August 10, Maxwell is effectively the new "kingpin" of an alleged sex trafficking conspiracy that prosecutors will try to take down. But amid public outrage over allegations that Maxwell recruited and groomed young girls for Epstein, experts warn that investigators have a mountain of evidence still to go through. Prosecutors likely won't bring charges unless they have the case buttoned up and ready to be brought to trial, the former prosecutors said. Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories. When Jeffrey Epstein died by an apparent suicide in his Manhattan jail cell on August 10, he effectively dismantled a sweeping sex trafficking and conspiracy case against him that summed up years' worth of allegations that he preyed on young girls. Members of Epstein's inner circle, whom victims have accused of facilitating Epstein's abuse, previously stood a chance at leveraging information and testimony against Epstein to win a deal with prosecutors.
