, Arden came forward after hearing about Epstein’s arrest earlier this month and realizing that Epstein was not a modeling scout for Victoria’s Secret, as he claimed to be. He was, however, a close personal friend and money manager for Leslie Wexner, the CEO of L Brands, the company that owns Victoria’s Secret and other clothing brands, including the Limited.
In the mid-1990s, around the time that Arden claims she was assaulted by Epstein, two executives at L Brands discovered that Epstein had been approaching young women by purporting to be a Victoria’s Secret modeling scout, and told Wexner. While Wexner promised to speak with Epstein, the executives said, it was unclear what, if any, action he actually took against his friend.
In 2008, Epstein pleaded guilty to a single charge of solicitation of prostitution of a minor. The charge was the result of a plea deal orchestrated by then-U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta, marking a significant reduction from the 2006 sexual abuse charges against Epstein. As part of the conditions of the plea deal, Epstein was required to register as a sex offender and was sentenced to 13 months in prison, much of which he served on work order release from the comfort of his Palm Beach office.
In the intervening years, Epstein has been dogged by a number of sexual abuse lawsuits alleging that he recruited young women and hired them to work as masseuses, only to force them to undress and engage in sex acts with him at his homes. A 2018 investigation identified more than 80 women who had leveled such allegations against Epstein.requests for comment, has pleaded not guilty to the charges against him.
realDonaldTrump friend, sounds about right.
Epstein funded MC2 who used Rachel Chandler to recruit underage girls and boys who were abused/depressed. Easier to molest/abuse those w/o means to defend themselves
I'm figuring in that pre social media time it was easier to hush up such incidents
Epstein is so sick. Money has made him more so
'attacked'? 'his weapons were his hands'? I came for entertainment and that what Im getting. His weapons might have been his hands but your feet are your transportation...use them to leave. Then tell RS Mag about it 20 years later.
