"It included an allegation by an alleged Jeffrey Epstein victim who accused Benzies of sexual assault. He denied the allegation via a spokesperson in a statement shared with Kotaku. "These allegations are false, I had a 3 months consensual relationship with this person, and I have never met Jeffrey Epstein, nor have I ever visited his island, his properties or travelled on his plane. Any suggestion otherwise is misleading," the statement reads."
"Ransome also released a book in 2021 titled Silenced No More: Surviving My Journey to Hell and Back. The released file was an alleged witness list Ransome appeared to be compiling. In it she accused Benzies of sexually assaulting her at one point. She also mentions Sam Houser, the current president of Rockstar Games, but not in connection with any allegation. There is no evidence that any of the claims in Ransome's document were vetted by federal investigators."
Leslie Benzies, former Rockstar North president and longtime Grand Theft Auto producer, appears in Justice Department-released Epstein files that include an allegation by Sarah Ransome accusing him of sexual assault. Benzies denied the claim through a spokesperson, saying the relationship was a three-month consensual one and denying any contact with Jeffrey Epstein or visits to his island, properties, or plane. Ransome previously sued Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell and published a 2021 book. The files were an alleged witness list Ransome appeared to be compiling, and the claims do not appear to have been vetted by federal investigators. Benzies now works at Build a Rocket Boy, whose first game faced heavy criticism and reports of troubled development; the studio's co-CEO recently accused a YouTuber of sabotaging the studio and threatened legal action.
