Ex-Rockstar North President States He Never Visited Epstein Island
In a recent statement shared with Kotaku through a spokesperson, the former President of Rockstar North, Leslie Benzies, has denied all allegations related to the ‘Epstein Files.’ Benzies described the claims as false and stated that he had a “three-month consensual relationship” with the individual making the accusations. He further asserted that he has never met Jeffrey Epstein, nor has he visited Epstein’s infamous island, properties, or plane. Interested readers can find the complete statement below:
“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,” the statement reads.
Leslie Benzies left Rockstar in 2016 and founded Build a Rocket Boy, the studio behind the recent flop, Mindseye. It’s important to note that mentions of Benzies and Houser come from Rom Ransome’s personal perspective and do not directly connect either of them to Epstein or the crimes he and Maxwell committed.
