Epstein survivors sue Les Wexner and Wexner Foundation
The complaint says Wexner and his foundation paid Epstein more than $200 million and helped him carry out abuse under New York City’s gender-violence law.
- On March 30, eleven plaintiffs filed a civil lawsuit in New York State Supreme Court against Leslie Wexner, the Wexner Foundation, and the Nine East 71st Street Corporation, alleging they enabled Jeffrey Epstein's crimes.
- The lawsuit alleges Wexner and his foundation paid Epstein over $200 million during their business relationship and transferred the New York Townhouse at Nine East to him to facilitate abuse.
- Invoking New York City's Gender-Motivated Violence Act, the complaint asserts that abuse occurred while victims' ages ranged between 17 and 30, empowering survivors to sue institutions that allegedly facilitated violence.
- A spokesperson for Wexner called the allegations "untrue," stating he paid Epstein only for wealth management services and had "no knowledge of Epstein's wrongdoing."
- During a February deposition, Wexner testified to Congress that he was "conned" by Epstein, whom he previously accused of stealing hundreds of millions of dollars.
