Authorities have already spoken to an accused murderer who is being held at the jail. That inmate, former police officer Nicholas Tartaglione who is accused of killing four men in a cocaine deal gone wrong, reportedly said he hadn’t touched Epstein.
Tartaglione’s attorney has since denied reports his client attacked Epstein and insisted that the pair got along well.
Other law enforcement sources have said that Epstein’s injuries were not serious and speculated that it could be his way of getting a transfer out of the jail.
It comes after Epstein appealed a federal judge’s decision to keep him in the Manhattan jail while he awaits trial.
According to a court notice made public on Tuesday, Epstein will ask the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to overturn the judge’s July 18 rejection of his request to remain under house arrest in his $77 million mansion on Manhattan’s Upper East Side.
Epstein has pleaded not guilty to charges of sex trafficking involving dozens of underage girls.

Epstein has appealed to get overturned a judge’s July 18 rejection of his request to remain under house arrest in his $77 million mansion on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. The prosecution said he s a flight risk with vast liquid assets, while the judge considered a danger to society, particularly young girls, his accusers and the witnesses
In denying him bail, U.S. District Judge Richard Berman in Manhattan said the government had shown by clear and convincing evidence that Epstein would pose a danger to the community if released pending trial.
‘Epstein’s alleged excessive attraction to sexual conduct with or in the presence of minor girls – which is said to include his soliciting and receiving massages from young girls and young women perhaps as many as four times a day – appears likely to be uncontrollable,’ Berman said in a written decision.
Prosecutors accused Epstein of arranging for girls under the age of 18 to perform nude ‘massages’ and other sex acts, and of paying some girls to recruit others.
They also said there was a high risk Epstein would use his wealth to flee.
Epstein estimated his net worth at $559 million, including a private plane and homes in Paris and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
His attorneys have said Epstein have said he has had an unblemished record since his 2008 guilty plea, which was part of an agreement negotiated quietly with Alex Acosta, then the U.S. Attorney in Miami. An argument that has been challenged by recent revelations that Epstein was still having sexual liaisons with multiple minor girls while on a work release program, after his conviction.
Epstein served 13 months in jail but was allowed to leave regularly to work.
For the new sex trafficking trial Epstein is remaining behind bars, the judge has ruled.
