Jeffrey Epstein made regular payments to Ohio State head of gynecology

Rep. Jamie Raskin begins hearing by introducing Epstein survivors to Pam Bondi
  • Newly released emails reveal Jeffrey Epstein made quarterly payments to Dr Mark Landon, head of Ohio State University’s gynaecology department.
  • Dr Landon allegedly received between $25,000 and $30,000 per quarter from the early 2000s, along with several packages whose contents remain unknown.
  • Emails suggest the payments were billed to 'LHW/Abigail', potentially referring to Les Wexner, a former client of Epstein, and his wife Abigail.
  • Dr Landon denies any wrongdoing, stating he was a paid consultant for biotech investments and was unaware of Epstein's criminal activities, while Wexner apologized for his association in 2019.
  • Other prominent academics, including Yale professor David Gelernter, also had documented ties to Epstein, with Gelernter exchanging controversial emails about women and offering to host Epstein at Yale.
