Several of Jeffrey Epstein’s victims may pursue civil cases against the alleged sex trafficker after his apparent suicide Saturday morning ended the criminal case against him, according to lawyer Lisa Bloom.

The billionaire was awaiting his trial on charges of child sex trafficking next year. After he reportedly hanged himself in his jail cell, the criminal case against him came to an end as no one else had been charged. An official cause of death has not yet been confirmed.
