Wexner’s Secret: Assault by Ohio State Professor Exposes PANIC over Epstein-linked Victoria’s Secret Founder
If not for investigative journalist Nick Bryant, Victoria’s Secret founder Leslie Wexner’s name might still be redacted. This week, Ohio State professor Luke Perez was caught on video physically assaulting a cameraman who attempted to question former OSU vice president E. Gordon Gee about the university’s extensive financial ties to billionaire donor Leslie Wexner, whose name was recently unredacted in the Epstein files. The footage has spread rapidly, not because of campus politics, but because it exposed how volatile — and protected — the Wexner issue remains.
The viral incident at Ohio State University has opened a new and urgent chapter in the Epstein scandal — and journalist / EXPERT Nick Bryant is uniquely positioned to explain why it matters. When Epstein’s house manager Alfredo Rodriguez attempted to sell his boss’s black book to an undercover agent, he circled the names of individuals implicated in the sex trafficking ring.
Les Wexner’s name wasn’t just circled; it was circled multiple times and consisted of DOZENS of contact numbers. See image below.
Bryant is an expert on Epstein whose name appears in Epstein emails because of how problematic he was for the sex trafficker. He is also the author of The Franklin Scandal: a Story of Powerbrokers, Child Abuse & Betrayal Bryant has referred to the Franklin Scandal as a “Carbon Copy” of the Epstein scandal.
What most media outlets still miss is that this revelation is not new — it is confirmation. In 2009, Epstein associate Alfredo Rodriguez circled Leslie Wexner’s name in Jeffrey Epstein’s black book, identifying him as someone implicated in Epstein’s operation. That same black book was first published by Nick Bryant, years before the courts, Congress, or major newsrooms were willing to confront the implications.
Bryant can explain:
- Why Wexner’s role has been downplayed for over a decade
- How elite institutions use donor power to suppress scrutiny
- Why Epstein’s network functioned as a system, not a lone criminal enterprise
- And why the Ohio State confrontation signals institutional fear, not transparency
As redactions fall and public anger rises, Bryant’s reporting provides the historical record and connective tissue others lack. He isn’t reacting to the Epstein files — he documented them long before they were politically safe.

The video below shows Alfredo Rodriguez in 2009 explaining how Epstein’s sex trafficking ring worked and who the complicit actors were by circling their names (Wexner’s name circled by Rodriguez above). It was Bryant who first acquired this black book in 2011. After attempting to publish it unsuccessfully for three years, he was finally able to get it published on the internet in 2015.

- How did Jeffrey Epstein’s operation rely on respected institutions and billionaires to function, rather than operating as a lone criminal enterprise?
- What does the violent reaction to basic questions tell us about how power protects itself when scrutiny gets too close?

ABOUT NICK BRYANT…
Nick Bryant is an investigative journalist and director of www.EpsteinJustice.com He spent seven years investigating a child sex trafficking network that was covered up by state and federal authorities, culminating in The Franklin Scandal: A Story of Powerbrokers, Child Abuse, and Betrayal. The trafficking network I wrote about in The Franklin Scandal has been the focal point of considerable misinformation and/or disinformation on the Internet. Individuals who, perhaps, suffer from psychiatric disorders have woven the Illuminati and shape shifting reptilian ETs into the narrative.
But the book’s foremost transgressor has been Wikipedia. The “Franklin child prostitution ring allegations” Wikipedia page has been under siege by unscrupulous Wikipedia “editors,” and they’ve intentionally made it nonsensical.
The Franklin Scandal and the Epstein scandal are quite similar in the sense that both child trafficking networks were covered up by state and federal authorities and the mainstream media has been complicit, because it never demanded justice for the children whose lives had been disfigured. I started investigating the Epstein network in 2012, when I acquired his “Little Black Book”—seven years before the case broke nationally. I pitched an article on the Little Black Book for three years to mainstream media outlets, but, like The Franklin Scandal, my pitches were met with unbridled skepticism and incredulity.
In 2015, finally, Gawker published the Little Black Book and accompanying articles. I found it ironic that Gawker, considered to be the mean kids in the media, had the fortitude to publish a story about children whose lives have been disfigured with impunity, whereas media outlets ostensibly immersed in integrity had rejected the story.
His latest book, The Truth About Watergate: A Tale of Extraordinary Lies and Liars, details the false narrative that our history books have imparted about the infamous Watergate affair.
