Ex-Barclays Boss Denies Sex With Woman in Snow White Costume

Former Barclays CEO Jes Staley has vehemently denied allegations of having sex with a woman dressed as Snow White. The denial came during a closed-door interview with U.S. lawmakers investigating the late financier Jeffrey Epstein.

No, I did not

Transcripts released from the interview detail an email exchange between Staley and Epstein from July 2010, which referenced Disney princesses. In these messages, Staley told Epstein, "Say hi to Snow White," to which Epstein responded by asking about preferred characters and noting one was "availble [sic]."

That was fun. Say hi to Snow White.

When questioned directly by a congressional representative about whether he had "ever had sex with a young woman in a Snow White costume," Staley responded, "No, I did not." Lawmakers pressed him further, citing another email sent to Epstein that day, which stated, "the snow white was f..ed twice as soon as she put her costume))."

I may have seen her in apartment and prompted that email. But I was not with a person dressed as Snow White outside of potentially crossing at his apartment.

Staley suggested he might have seen the woman in Epstein's apartment and potentially prompted the email, but insisted he was not involved in any sexual encounter. "I may have seen her in apartment and prompted that email. But I was not with a person dressed as Snow White outside of potentially crossing at his apartment," he stated. He dismissed the idea that Disney princesses were used as code names for selecting women for sexual encounters.

No.
