New York Giants co-owner Steve Tisch addressed controversy surrounding his presence in the newly released files related to Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes.
Tisch released a statement through the Giants, claiming he never traveled to Epstein’s infamous island.
“We had a brief association where we exchanged emails about grown women, and in addition we discussed movies, philanthropy and investments. I did not accept him on any of his invitations and never went to his island. As we all know now, he was a horrible person and someone I deeply regret associating with,” Tisch said.

The Justice Department’s Friday release of more than 3 million documents related to the Epstein investigation included email exchanges from April 2013 to June 2013 between Tisch and the convicted sex offender.
Some of the exchanges between Tisch and Epstein appear to show conversations about women.

Tisch’s family owns about 45% of the Giants. Along with co-owner John Mara, Tisch assumed control of the team in 2005 after his father purchased a majority stake in the team in 1991.
Under Mara and Tisch’s co-ownership, the Giants won two Super Bowls and recently hired John Harbaugh as head coach.

Epstein was found dead in a federal prison cell in Manhattan on August 10, 2019. His death was later ruled a suicide.
He faces up to 45 years in prison for crimes related to sex trafficking with minors.
