Leon Black’s accuser now alleges links to Jeffrey Epstein

One of Black’s lawyers called the claims 'demonstrably and transparently false'

A woman who accused former Apollo Global Management chief executive Leon Black of rape and defamation filed an amended complaint that alleges the private-equity titan was “best friends” with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and once flew her to Florida for a potential sexual encounter involving Epstein.

One of Black’s lawyers called the claims “demonstrably and transparently false”.
