Emails show Epstein asked Josephson to recommend "amazing women" in their early 20s for an assistant role; Josephson replied describing a candidate as "young, attractive, insane rack...will do anything, and tight lipped." Josephson also arranged set visits for young women in Epstein's circle and at times helped with auditions. Correspondence continued as late as 2018. In February 2026, Josephson issued a public apology: "There's no excuse for what I said in some of my emails.
The language was crude and juvenile, and I'm ashamed." He stated he attended social events with Epstein and that Epstein visited his sets twice, but denied ever traveling on his plane, visiting his island, or seeing him in the company of minors.
