Michael Thomas was a correctional officer at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in New York who, along with Tova Noel, was indicted on charges of falsifying records and conspiracy related to Jeffrey Epstein's death in August 2019. The charges stemmed from their failure to conduct required checks on Epstein the night he died.
Michael Thomas appears primarily in court documents and government reports related to the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's death. He and Tova Noel were accused of neglecting their duties by not checking on Epstein for approximately eight hours, and of falsifying log entries to indicate they had. They later entered into a deferred prosecution agreement, and the charges against them were eventually dropped.
