The chairman of the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games, Casey Wasserman, has stated that he 'deeply regrets' sending flirty emails to Ghislaine Maxwell, the jailed accomplice of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Wasserman's messages, which were released as part of a large document dump by the U.S. Department of Justice, showcase exchanges from 2003, with one notable message expressing a desire to see Maxwell in a tight leather outfit.Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year sentence for her role in recruiting and trafficking underage girls for abuse by Epstein prior to his death in custody in 2019. In response to the revelation, Wasserman issued a statement saying, 'I deeply regret my correspondence with Ghislaine Maxwell which took place over two decades ago, long before her horrific crimes came to light.'He maintained that he had 'never had a personal or business relationship with Epstein' and noted that he became involved with Epstein on a humanitarian trip as part of a delegation organized by the Clinton Foundation in 2002. 'I am terribly sorry for having any association with either of them,' Wasserman remarked.Though the documents do not implicate Wasserman in any wrongdoing, the resurfacing of these associations has reignited public scrutiny regarding those connected to Epstein's circle. The BBC has reached out to Wasserman for further comment. Wasserman established a sports and entertainment firm in 2002 and serves as a trustee for the Clinton Foundation based on information available on the Olympic Games' official website. Last month, Ghislaine Maxwell agreed to testify under oath before a congressional committee investigating the federal government’s handling of Epstein-related files, while former President Bill Clinton and his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, have also been summoned for testimony due to their past connections with Epstein.
