"None of this stopped New York Giants co-owner and Hollywood film producer Steve Tisch, in 2013, from regularly exchanging emails with Epstein in which the sex offender appears to serve as Tisch's skin-crawling personal "dating" service. Epstein, according to documents that became public Friday in a Department of Justice evidence dump, continually offered up women -- Russians, Ukrainians, Tahitians -- whom Tisch would refer to as "my present" or "my surprise." Other times he inquired if they were "pro or civilian.""
""Everyone who is part of the league must refrain from 'conduct detrimental to the integrity of and public confidence in' the NFL," the league's personal conduct policy reads. "It is not enough simply to avoid being found guilty of a crime in a court of law. We are all held to a higher standard and must conduct ourselves in a way that is responsible, promotes the values of the NFL, and is lawful.""
Law enforcement first investigated Jeffrey Epstein in 2005 after an accusation that he paid a 14-year-old girl for a massage. The FBI became involved by 2006. Epstein was sentenced in 2010 to 18 months for solicitation of prostitution with a minor and later settled multiple lawsuits from alleged victims. In 2013, New York Giants co-owner and film producer Steve Tisch regularly exchanged emails with Epstein, who offered women of various nationalities and asked whether they were "pro or civilian." Tisch invited Epstein to Giants games; no evidence shows Epstein attended. Tisch faces no criminal accusations, but the NFL personal conduct policy demands higher standards and calls for league scrutiny.
