that once he had control of Victoria's Secret he launched "Pink" which was lingerie focused on teens. So that alone begs the question about why a married man in his 60's was into sexualizing young teen girls and I cite the company stating it's target demographic was teens aged 13-18 and young college women. Just the sort of thing any normal clothing retailer would do right Les?
It should be noted that Epstein was going around the world claiming to be a "recruiter" for Victoria's Secret and their annual "fashion shows" which included segments for Pink models to take part.
Here's a little blurb about company moves in 2013 to even include pre-teen girls:
"In March 2013, Victoria's Secret PINK launched a marketing campaign for its "Bright Young Things" underwear line, directed at teen and pre-teen girls, that drew considerable negative attention. The underwear contained wording such as "call me", "feeling lucky", and "wild"."
Also of interest is this little snippet about the involvement of Les and Epstein in the CIA front company Southern Air Transport. If that name sounds familiar to some of us it is because it was tied to Iran Contra and Daddy Bush:
"In the 1990s, Les Wexner and Jeffrey Epstein were involved in relocating Southern Air Transport (a CIA front organization with ties to the Iran-Contra affair and alleged CIA drug smuggling) from Miami to Columbus. Southern Air transported goods related to Wexner's businesses, but in 1996, Customs agents found a hidden shipment of cocaine on one of the planes. Southern Air was shut down in 1998 after Wexner had received federal aid for the relocation of the airline, just weeks before the CIA Inspector General released its official findings on Contra cocaine trafficking allegations.[37]"
Southern Air Transport and their CIA activities is a long sordid story unto itself.
Just a misunderstood boy from Ohio.

Very disapppointed in Steven Spielberg.
The wiki link on "pink" did not, so far as I noticed, mention the "pink" brand. The article itself was very interesting, though, so thank you.
