Connecticut woman identified as longtime Jeffrey Epstein assistant
NEW CANAAN, CT (WFSB) — Additional un-redacted names came to light from Jeffrey Epstein files this week, revealing that a longtime assistant of the disgraced financier is from Connecticut.
Lesley Groff from New Canaan was Epstein’s executive assistant for almost two decades. Her name appears in the documents more than 130,000 times.
Documents show that she was served a subpoena in 2019 after Epstein’s arrest, but prosecutors declined to charge her.
She also faced multiple lawsuits by victims accusing her of facilitating his crimes. Those were also dropped.
Legal representatives say she has cooperated with the investigation in the past and was never told she was considered a co-conspirator.
