Charlie Rose
TV journalist (PBS/CBS, 1991-2017); 4 Epstein black book entries; flight logs; hired 3 Epstein-referred assistants (one later accused him of harassment); attended 2010 post-conviction Epstein dinner with Prince Andrew; Epstein tracked his #MeToo fallout; fired 2017 for sexual misconduct (35+ accusers)
Also known as: Charles Rose
According to DOJ-released documents indexed by Epstein Exposed, Charlie Rose appears in 1,033 case documents, 2 flight log entries, and 26 email records in the Epstein files.
Former PBS and CBS television host with one of the most documented connections among media figures in Epstein's network. Charlie Rose is listed in Epstein's black book (page 47) with 4 phone numbers and appears on Epstein's flight logs. His most significant documented tie is a pipeline of female assistants: Epstein and his personal assistants called Rose dozens of times over several years; often to recommend young women as potential hires. Of five women Epstein recommended, Rose hired three. At least one of those women later formally accused Rose of sexual harassment, and one described the experience as being "offered up for abuse."
One of the women recommended by Epstein had previously worked for Harvey Weinstein. Rose also attended the now-notorious December 2010 dinner at Epstein's Upper East Side townhouse; held approximately two years after Epstein's 2008 Florida conviction and in honor of Prince Andrew. Other guests included Katie Couric, George Stephanopoulos, Woody Allen, Chelsea Handler, and Eva Andersson-Dubin. The event was organized by New York publicist Peggy Siegal, and some guests later claimed the invitation was framed as "dinner with Prince Andrew" rather than an Epstein event. The 2026 DOJ file release confirmed that Epstein actively tracked the #MeToo movement and corresponded with multiple accused men.
A November 21, 2017 email from Epstein to publicist Peggy Siegal; written just days after Rose's firing; read: "charlie, harvey, brett. louis. . jeffrey is looking better and better." This places Rose explicitly in Epstein's circle of mutual interest with Weinstein and others facing misconduct allegations. Rose was fired by PBS and CBS in November 2017 after a Washington Post investigation documented accusations of sexual harassment from at least 35 women. A subsequent investigation found CBS management had been warned about his conduct as early as 1986.
His career ended entirely in the #MeToo era, and he has not returned to television. Rose has not been accused of direct participation in Epstein's sex trafficking operation, but the totality of his documented connections; flight logs, black book entry with 4 numbers, the staff-referral pipeline, and post-conviction socializing; reflects a closer relationship than casual acquaintance.

Background
Charlie Rose is a former American television journalist and host best known for his long-running PBS interview program 'Charlie Rose' and his role as co-anchor of CBS This Morning. For decades, Rose was a fixture of the New York media elite, conducting high-profile interviews with world leaders, celebrities, and cultural figures. His show was considered a prestigious platform for public discourse.
In November 2017, Rose was fired by both CBS and PBS after multiple women accused him of sexual harassment and unwanted advances. These allegations were unrelated to Jeffrey Epstein. The timing of his downfall appears to have been anticipated in Epstein's circle, as evidenced by an email exchange on November 1, 2017, in which Epstein's attorney Reid Weingarten wrote 'Charlie rose is next' -- days before the harassment story broke publicly.
Rose's name appears in Jeffrey Epstein's personal address book (the so-called 'Little Black Book') with four phone numbers, and he is referenced in numerous Epstein-related emails and documents. He attended a widely reported post-conviction dinner at Epstein's Upper East Side townhouse alongside other media figures and was considered by Epstein as a potential vehicle for a media counter-narrative strategy.
