"During the first days of the Milan Olympics, the long shadows of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell spread to touch the Olympic movement. While in Milan, one of the top organizers of the Los Angeles Summer Games scheduled for 2028 faced calls to step aside after his emails turned up in the latest tranche of Epstein documents released by the U.S. Justice Department."
""I will be in nyc for four days starting April 22...can we book that massage now," wrote Casey Wasserman in an email to Maxwell in the spring of 2003. A few days later, Wasserman said, "The only thing I want from Paris is you." There's no indication of criminal wrongdoing in the emails, which were sent more than twenty years ago. But for a prominent figure like Wasserman, who heads an influential sports and entertainment agency, any association with the pair is fraught."
Emails linking Casey Wasserman to Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein emerged from recently released Epstein documents, triggering scrutiny of a top Los Angeles 2028 organizer. The exchanges included flirtatious messages and requests for a massage from 2003, with no indication of criminal wrongdoing. Maxwell received a 20-year prison sentence in 2022 for conspiring to sexually abuse minors, and Epstein died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial. Wasserman apologized for the exchanges, denied any personal or business relationship with Epstein, appeared briefly at an IOC gathering in Milan without taking questions, and faced calls from Los Angeles leaders to resign.
