The head of the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Committee, Casey Wasserman, has released a statement acknowledging his emails that appeared in Friday’s US Department of Justice release of more than 3 million documents related to the investigation of human trafficker and child molester Jeffrey Epstein.
The release included emails between Wasserman and Ghislaine Maxwell. But Wasserman now claims he never had a relationship with Epstein.
“I deeply regret my correspondence with Ghislaine Maxwell, which took place over two decades ago, long before her horrific crimes came to light. I have never had a personal or business relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
“As is well documented, I went on a humanitarian trip as part of a delegation with the Clinton Foundation in 2002 on the Epstein plane. I am terribly sorry to have had any connection with either of them.”

Wasserman’s emails to Maxwell, which date back to 2003, included the phrases “Where are you, I miss you” and “Can we book that massage now?” Wasserman was married at the time. In 2021, Wasserman divorced his wife of 20 years, Laura Ziffren Wasserman.

Maxwell’s response to Wasserman included the phrases, “all that rubbing—are you sure you can take it? The thought honestly leaves me a little breathless,” and “There are a few places that seem to drive a man wild—I suppose I could practice them on you and you could tell me if they work or not?”
Epstein was found dead in a federal prison cell in Manhattan on August 10, 2019. It was later ruled a suicide. He faces up to 45 years in prison for crimes related to sex trafficking with minors.
In 2021, Maxwell was convicted of five counts of sex trafficking and abuse of minors. She is serving 20 years in prison.

The documents were revealed as mandated by a law requiring the government to open its files on the late financier and his confidante and former lover, Maxwell.
Wasserman built a sports and talent agency that represents top players in football, basketball and baseball.
