"The Justice Department's newly released Epstein files show prosecutors looked at allegations from at least four women who accused the billionaire former CEO of Apollo Global Management - the key source of Epstein's wealth in the last decade of his life - of sexual assault and other misconduct. Neither the local Manhattan district attorney's office nor the federal US Attorney's office for the Southern District of New York - the two departments examining the accusations against Black - brought charges against him."
"Two of the women who drew the attention of prosecutors alleged Black raped them in Epstein's Manhattan mansion in 2002, claims that mirror those in civil lawsuits filed against Black after Epstein's death. One, who said Black raped her as an adult, has since withdrawn her lawsuit. The other woman's lawsuit, in which she alleged Black raped her as a teenager, is pending. In each case, Black has denied wrongdoing."
Prosecutors examined allegations from at least four women accusing Leon Black of sexual assault and other misconduct following Jeffrey Epstein's 2019 death. Federal and Manhattan prosecutors reviewed dozens of emails, internal memos, and call records dating to 2019. Two women alleged Black raped them in Epstein's Manhattan mansion in 2002; one claimed she was an adult and later withdrew her lawsuit, and one alleged she was a teenager and has a pending suit. Neither the Manhattan District Attorney nor the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York filed charges. Black has denied wrongdoing and his lawyer cited an Apollo-commissioned inquiry that found he lacked awareness of Epstein's crimes.
