forged<\/a> one of Epstein\u2019s most valuable contacts, billionaire Les Wexner. (Meister did not respond to multiple messages.)<\/p>\nIn April 2013, Epstein emailed an invitation to Tisch to join him for breakfast, and 22 minutes later, Tisch responded: \u201cAbsolutely.\u201d Epstein\u2019s schedule showed a meeting the next morning. Meister later wrote Epstein that Tisch \u201cwas blown away by you in a positive way!\u201d and that he \u201cthinks you are wonderful and interesting etc!\u201d<\/p>\n
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 \u2014 the highest risk to reoffend \u2014\u00a0and been dubbed a \u201cbillionaire pervert\u201d and \u201cchild-sex creep\u201d by a New York tabloid.<\/p>\n
Tisch, meanwhile, was a well-known lothario. In 2008, TMZ published a video captioned \u201cTisch is a tush guy.\u201d It showed him outside a Hollywood club with two young women. He hugged them and ran a hand over one of the women\u2019s buttocks. A New York gossip column claimed Tisch was overheard \u201cboasting that he\u2019s been dating on both coasts.\u201d<\/p>\n
Within three weeks of that breakfast, Tisch and Epstein began exchanging emails about women in ribald terms. Pulling from his catalog of candidates, Epstein provided Tisch options: an aspiring actress with a \u201c10 ass,\u201d a microbiology major at a university, an \u201cexotic\u201d Tahitian woman, who Epstein reassured Tisch was not a \u201cworking girl.\u201d During one exchange, Epstein appeared to have a moment of hesitation. He wrote: \u201csend me a number to call I don\u2019t like records of these conversations.\u201d But the two men continued emailing extensively.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am happy to have you as a new but obviously shared interest friend,\u201d Epstein wrote Tisch.<\/p>\n
In the weeks and months that followed, Epstein introduced Tisch to at least four women. None of the women responded to messages from The Athletic. An attorney representing one of the women wrote in an email that her client \u201cendured substantial abuse at the hands of Epstein.\u201d<\/p>\n
In at least one instance, Epstein expected a woman he introduced to Tisch to return the favor. \u201cYou still need to find me a girl,\u201d he wrote the Russian model. She responded: \u201cWell, if I meet someone, I\u2019ll introduce you, even if it\u2019s \u2018Mission Impossible.\u2019\u201d After introducing another woman to Tisch, Epstein asked a friend to convey a message to that woman to \u201clook for other of her friends in Kiev that can be part of the family.\u201d<\/p>\n
A different woman, described by Epstein as Tahitian, connected with him around 2010, worried about career possibilities and hopeful he \u2013 and his contacts \u2013 could help. Epstein paid some of her expenses, and she spent a month in 2013 at an apartment of his in New York.<\/p>\n
Epstein introduced her to Tisch and, after they met, Tisch reported back to Epstein: \u201cShe is adorable. Thank you.\u201d He replied: \u201cglad to help.\u201d<\/p>\n
A few days later, Epstein emailed the woman and asked how things were going with Tisch. She responded that she and Tisch had drinks, discussed his role as a guest judge on ABC\u2019s \u201cShark Tank,\u201d and that he had invited her to a football game.<\/p>\n
The name in that email exchange matches that of a woman who told Radio France One in an interview this month that she met Epstein in 2010 and he promised to help her career. She viewed him as a savior. Instead, she said, Epstein controlled her life. The woman told the outlet that Epstein introduced her to an \u201cAmerican producer\u201d in 2013, and one evening they went to his New York residence on the top floor of a building with a sprawling view of the city.<\/p>\n
Public records show Tisch was renting a $60,000 a month, 13-room penthouse in the Trump Park Avenue building in 2013.<\/p>\n
\u201c(The producer) asked what I hoped to make of my life,\u201d the woman said. \u201cI told him about my plans \u2026 I could see he was watching me talk, but he was not truly listening. \u2026 We sat down on a leather couch, a screen came down, and he showed me a (bike) race. I didn\u2019t really understand what I had to do with that story. Then he starts to put his hand on the inside of my thighs. I threw out my hand and I said no. \u2026 He said to me: \u2018You are a very smart girl.\u2019 \u2026 I ran. I rushed into the elevator. I don\u2019t even know how I got myself home.\u201d<\/p>\n
The next day, the woman said, Epstein called her: \u201cHe told me that I was an idiot, that I was never going to make anything of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n
In May 2013, Epstein emailed Tisch: \u201cNew one for you.\u201d Tisch tried to meet that woman \u2014 he repeatedly invited her to Boston, where NFL owners were scheduled to meet \u2014\u00a0but the emails indicate they didn\u2019t connect.<\/p>\n
The woman whom Epstein wanted to find \u201cfriends in Kiev that can be part of the family\u201d was another model and aspiring actor who sought help from Epstein. She emailed him about visiting his island, medical appointments he paid for, housing prospects, and ways to further her career, even sharing the hope that she might someday win an Oscar.<\/p>\n
Epstein introduced her to Tisch. \u201cHe said that he gonna work on 3 movies starting June. So I\u2019ll ask if I can read scripts and maybe audition for some part,\u201d the woman wrote to Epstein. In an apparent reference to the woman, Tisch asked Epstein several days later if she still liked him. Epstein replied: \u201cthinks you are great. wants to prepare for her reading, hasnt stop working toward that goal since you and her parted.. you are good.\u201d<\/p>\n
But something seemed to go awry. The woman emailed Epstein that \u201cSteve\u201d has \u201cbeen so weird.\u201d He wanted their relationship to be more than friends, she wrote. She expressed that she did not feel the same way. \u201cI won\u2019t forgive myself\u2026 he\u2019ll just suck my youth without helping me,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n
Epstein\u2019s matchmaking for Tisch withered after that. The last exchange between the two men in the recently released documents came in August 2017.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were talking very fondly about you,\u201d Tisch wrote Epstein after lunch with Meister. \u201cI hope you are having a great Summer.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCome visit,\u201d Epstein responded.<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you in the city?\u201d Tisch asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cThurs now Caribbean,\u201d Epstein replied.<\/p>\n
\u201cOk,\u201d Tisch wrote, \u201cLet\u2019s stay in touch.\u201d<\/p>\n
