Jes Staley Denies Having Sex With Woman In Snow White Costume During Jeffrey Epstein Investigation
Former Barclays CEO Jes Staley denied having a sexual encounter with a woman dressed as Snow White during a closed-door interview with the House Oversight Committee. The testimony was part of a broader investigation into the late child sex-trafficking offender Jeffrey Epstein and his co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell. While media reports have long highlighted an email exchange where Jes Staley told Epstein to "say hi to Snow White," lawmakers questioned whether he had personally engaged in sex with the woman in the costume. Jes Staley maintained that he did not have sex with her, despite an email from the unnamed woman to Epstein stating she had been "f..ed twice" as soon as she put on the costume. Jes Staley argued that he may have seen her in Epstein's apartment but did not personally participate in the encounter. He further denied that Disney princesses were used as code names for sexual encounters. Jes Staley resigned from Barclays in 2021 after regulators investigated his ties to the late financier.
