Les Wexner

Les Wexner is a billionaire retail tycoon, best known as the former CEO of L Brands, the parent company of Victoria's Secret. He is currently newsworthy due to renewed scrutiny of his long-standing relationship with the late Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender. Wexner recently testified before a House committee in a closed-door deposition, claiming he was "conned" and "duped" by Epstein, who allegedly stole "vast sums" of money from him. He denies any knowledge of Epstein's crimes. This testimony comes amid growing pressure on institutions like Ohio State University to remove the Wexner name from buildings due to his association with Epstein. The release of videos related to the Clintons' Epstein testimonies has also heightened public interest in the figures connected to Epstein, including Wexner. His testimony and the ongoing controversy surrounding his name on university buildings highlight the continuing fallout from Epstein's crimes and the scrutiny faced by his associates.
