The video game industry has been rocked by the Epstein affair. Several names appear in the documents revealed by the US Department of Justice. Leslie Benzies, former president of Rockstar North and now president of Build A Rocket Boy, is among them.
Benzies is accused of sexual assault by Sarah Ransome, a victim of Jeffrey Epstein, with whom he was in a relationship. In a statement provided to Kotaku, Benzies denied the allegations. He said that the three-month relationship was consensual and that he never visited Epstein’s island. He added that he never even met the American businessman convicted of serial rape and pedophile trafficking.
“These allegations are false, I had a 3 months consensual relationship with this person, and I have never met Jeffrey Epstein, nor have I ever visited his island, his properties or travelled on his plane. Any suggestion otherwise is misleading”.
