Power of Attorney and Power Abuse: Survivors Target Wexner in New Suit (4/3/26)

A group of Jeffrey Epstein survivors has filed a lawsuit against billionaire Les Wexner, the Wexner Foundation, and associated entities, alleging they enabled Epstein’s abuse and trafficking operation. The suit, filed in New York, includes multiple plaintiffs from several states who claim they were subjected to gender-motivated violence by Epstein. Central to the allegations is the claim that Wexner provided Epstein with significant financial backing—allegedly totaling around $200 million over years—which allowed Epstein to build and sustain his network. The complaint also points to Wexner’s former Manhattan townhouse, arguing it served as a key location where abuse occurred.

The lawsuit further argues that Wexner’s long-standing relationship with Epstein—including granting him power of attorney over his finances—created the conditions that enabled Epstein’s crimes. Plaintiffs claim that without that financial support and access, Epstein would not have been able to operate at the scale he did. Wexner has denied the allegations, stating he had no knowledge of Epstein’s wrongdoing and that the claims lack factual basis, insisting the money provided was for legitimate financial management services. The case adds to growing scrutiny of Wexner’s role and raises broader questions about how Epstein’s network was funded and sustained for so long.
