Conductor turns up in Jeffrey Epstein diaries
OrchestrasThe Wall Street Journal and Fox News have details of meetings with prominent individuals in the sex criminal’s diary. The meetings were scheduled after Epstein’s first conviction in 2008.
Among the individuals named is the Bard College president and American Symphony Orchestra conductor Leon Botstein, who met Epstein on several occasions in 2012.
Botstein told the Journal: ‘I was an unsuccessful fundraiser and actually the object of a little bit of sadism on his part in dangling philanthropic support. That was my relationship with him.’
He added: ‘We looked him up, and he was a convicted felon for a sex crime. We believe in rehabilitation.’
