"[Victim] stated Black raped her numerous times and sex trafficked her (including at Epstein's). Black threatened to destroy her life and stated he had connections with the police."

πŸ”΄ SCHEDULING BLACK'S VISITS β€” "You Know Leon!"

Source: EFTA00321703, July 26, 2016 · Finding #35

Email chain between Lesley Groff (Epstein's assistant) and Melanie Spinella (Executive Assistant to Leon D. Black, Apollo Management, 9 West 57th Street):

"I can't believe he did not get there!!! He knew about it β€” I'm sure he will show up soon β€” you know Leon!"
β€” Melanie Spinella, Apollo Management, July 26, 2016
"yes...we count on him to be late...I must say this is pretty late for him however!"
β€” Lesley Groff, July 26, 2016
8 YEARS after conviction β€” the completely routine tone proves these visits were regular. The "Jeffrey did not send anything" reference suggests Epstein was sending items to Black's Apollo office. Groff and Black appear together in 742 documents.
