Billionaire Leslie Wexner, who founded the company that owned Victoria’s Secret, told lawmakers on Feb. 18 that he traveled to the island owned by the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein but did not know of Epstein’s crimes.

Wexner told members of Congress during a closed-door hearing in Ohio that he visited Epstein’s island once, shortly after Epstein had purchased it, and stopped there for a “few hours” one morning with his wife and children while on a cruise on their boat.
