Attorneys for both Jeffrey Epstein and his accusers implored a Manhattan judge on Tuesday to launch his own investigation into the late pedophile’s suicide death.

The request came during a lengthy hearing in Manhattan federal court where Judge Richard Berman heard from more than 20 alleged victims who say the financier groomed and raped them of the course of years.

“For us, the elephant in the room is what happened to our client,” Epstein lawyer Reid Weingarten told Berman. “The court should make an inquiry.”

An autopsy by the city Medical Examiner’s Office ruled that Epstein killed himself by hanging in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, where he was being held without bail on sex-trafficking charges. He died Aug. 10.

But his lawyers questioned that ruling, with Weingarten claiming that broken bones in Epstein’s neck were “far more consistent with assault than suicide.”

“Around the time of his death, we did not see a despairing, despondent suicidal person,” Weingarten added.

He also said that video recordings from the unit Epstein was housed in were later found to be “corrupted.”

Gloria Allred, who represents several Epstein accusers, made a similar plea to Berman, saying his potential probe “would increase the confidence of my clients.”

“The court is a neutral party,” she said. “Clearly the system has failed. Failed the victims, failed the court, failed everyone.”

Prosecutor Maurene Comey, meanwhile, confirmed that there is an “ongoing and actual grand jury investigation into the circumstances surrounding Epstein’s death.”

Berman did not indicate whether he would investigate Epstein’s death.
