(CNN) \u2014 New York Giants co-owner and American filmmaker Steve Tisch sought out Jeffrey Epstein\u2019s help connecting him with women more than a decade ago, according to emails released Friday by the Justice Department.<\/p>\n
In an email<\/a> from April 26, 2013, Tisch asked Epstein if he knew anything about a \u201cvery sweet girl\u201d who he met at Epstein\u2019s house earlier that week. Epstein replied that he will \u201cget all info\u201d on her and asked if Tisch had contacted another woman, who Epstein described in crude detail. Epstein told Tisch, \u201cI am happy to have you as a new but obviosly (sic) shared interest friend.\u201d<\/p>\n Tisch, now 76, said he planned to contact the woman, asking in the email if she is \u201cpro or civilian?\u201d Epstein responded<\/a> the woman is, \u201ccivilian, but russian, and rarely tells the full truth, but fun.\u201d<\/p>\n Tisch told CNN late Friday night, \u201cWe had a brief association where we exchanged emails about adult women, and in addition, we discussed movies, philanthropy and investments. I did not take him up on any of his invitations and never went to his island. As we all know now, he was a terrible person and someone I deeply regret associating with.\u201d<\/p>\n The emails show Tisch, who has not previously been publicly connected to the convicted sex offender, communicated with him several times in 2013. Tisch has not been accused of or charged with any crime in connection with Epstein.<\/p>\n On June 2, 2013, Epstein emailed<\/a> Tisch: \u201cyou should be in ny ths week , have new present\u201d<\/p>\n Tisch asked, \u201cIs my present in NYC?\u201d It\u2019s not clear in the emails whether the two met in New York that week or were referring to plans later that month.<\/p>\n Eight days later, on June 10, 2013, Tisch emailed<\/a> Epstein: \u201cHopefully we will catch up Is there somebody in NY you want me to meet? I will be there Thursday Thanks\u201d<\/p>\n
