The U.S. Justice Department’s Friday release of more than 3 million documents related to the investigation of human trafficker and child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein included email exchanges between Epstein and New York Giants co-owner Steve Tisch.
The Giants have provided a statement from Tisch addressing the emails.
“We had a brief association in which we exchanged emails about grown women and also talked about movies, philanthropy and investments. I did not accept any of his invitations and never went to his island. As we all know now, he was a terrible person and someone I deeply regret associating with,” Tisch said.
The emails were first reported by The Athletic.
Some of the exchanges between Tisch and Epstein appear to show conversations about women.
