Federal Bureau of Prisons correctional officer at MCC New York, charged with falsifying records night of Epstein death
Tova Noel was a correctional officer at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) who, along with Michael Thomas, was indicted for falsifying records and conspiring to defraud the United States related to the night of Jeffrey Epstein's death. The charges were later dropped after they entered into a deferred prosecution agreement.
Tova Noel's most significant appearances relate to her role as a correctional officer responsible for guarding Jeffrey Epstein the night he died. She and Michael Thomas were accused of failing to conduct the required checks every 30 minutes and falsifying log entries. The indictment stated that they were allegedly shopping online and sleeping instead of performing their duties. Court documents and news reports detail her legal proceedings, including a deferred prosecution agreement. Some documents are related to discovery requests in her case.
