Former Barclays boss Jes Staley had sex with a member of serial pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s staff, the banker said in court as he appeals against a proposed financial services ban. Britain’s Financial Conduct Authority said in 2023 that it would ban Staley and fine him £1.8 million ($2.3 million) for allegedly misleading the watchdog over his relationship with Epstein. He is giving evidence at London’s Upper Tribunal this week. The 68-year-old, who said Tuesday that he had no idea about the late financier Epstein’s “monstrous activities,” was asked by the FCA’s lawyer about evidence Staley had given in a lawsuit against him by his previous employer JPMorgan. JPMorgan, where Staley was previously head of the private bank and had Epstein as a client, was sued by the US Virgin Islands for allegedly ignoring Epstein’s sex trafficking, with the bank in turn suing Staley before the case was settled. In the US litigation, Staley was asked about having “had sexual intercourse with a woman … at Mr Epstein’s brother’s apartment” in New York, the FCA’s lawyer Leigh-Ann Mulcahy said. Staley said he was introduced to the woman by Jeffrey Epstein, the encounter was consensual and that “she was a part of his staff as I recall.”
