True or False: Jeffrey Epstein posed as a Victoria's Secret recruiter to lure young women, and Leslie Wexner was made aware of this behavior but failed to stop it.

Question

Accepted Answer

True. Executive Cindy Fedus-Fields confronted Wexner in 1993, and another model reported it to Santa Monica police in 1997—yet Epstein retained power of attorney until 2007. This proves Wexner knew Epstein was using the Victoria's Secret brand to exploit women but valued their financial relationship over protecting victims. Corporate directors have a duty to protect brand reputation and prevent criminal misuse of company resources. Wexner's failure to revoke Epstein's authority after the 1993 warning constitutes a governance failure that went unpunished for 26 years.
