Rape allegation against ex-Barclays CEO Jes Staley was raised in US Epstein investigation
AI Summary
Newly unsealed documents from the Jeffrey Epstein investigation reveal that US prosecutors reviewed allegations of rape and bodily harm against former Barclays CEO Jes Staley. The allegations, detailed in a 2019 memo to the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, include claims that Staley forced a woman to touch his genitals before raping her at Epstein's New York residence around 2011 or 2012. The memo also cites another woman's account of Staley engaging in unwanted sexual contact during massages arranged by Epstein. Staley, who admitted to having consensual sex with a member of Epstein's staff in a UK court hearing, has denied any wrongdoing and has never been charged in connection to these allegations. It is unclear if prosecutors pursued the allegations.
