In April 2013, Epstein emailed an invitation to Tisch to join him for breakfast, and 22 minutes later, Tisch responded: “Absolutely.” Epstein’s schedule showed a meeting the next morning. …
At the time of that meeting, Epstein had been sued repeatedly by sex abuse victims, served 13 months of work-release custody, registered as a Level 3 sex offender — the highest risk to reoffend — and been dubbed a “billionaire pervert” and “child-sex creep” by a New York tabloid.
Tisch, meanwhile, was a well-known lothario. In 2008, TMZ published a video captioned “Tisch is a tush guy.” It showed him outside a Hollywood club with two young women. He hugged them and ran a hand over one of the women’s buttocks. A New York gossip column claimed Tisch was overheard “boasting that he’s been dating on both coasts.”
