Prosecutors moved to drop the child sex trafficking and conspiracy charges against Jeffrey Epstein on Monday, following his death over a week ago in what the chief medical examiner ruled was a suicide.

U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman of the Southern District of New York sent yesterday’s proposed order of nolle prosequi, essentially a request to dismiss the case since Epstein can no longer be tried, to U.S. District Judge Richard Berman, who had been presiding over the case since the jet-setting financier’s arrest in early July.
