Jeffrey Epstein, the former financier who died by apparent suicide while being held in a New York detention facility without bail on charges of sex-trafficking minors, is now the focus of a four-part Netflix docuseries.
Titled “Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich,” the project premiered today on the streaming giant. Among the docuseries’ writers are best-selling author (and Epstein neighbor) James Patterson, who wrote a nonfiction book on Epstein in 2017.
