A New York Times board member has issued a public apology for his ties to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
“I take full responsibility for my error in judgment. I am deeply sorry to the survivors, to the Media Lab, and to the MIT community for bringing such a person into our network,” Joi Ito said in a statement posted to the Media Lab website and titled “My apology regarding Jeffrey Epstein.”
Ito, who is the director of MIT’s prestigious Media Lab, invited Epstein there and visited several of his homes after meeting “through a trusted business friend” at a 2013 conference, Ito said.
“In all of my interactions with Epstein, I was never involved in, never heard him talk about, and never saw any evidence of the horrific acts that he was accused of,” wrote, who has been a New York Times board member since 2012.

Right. If Epstein were still alive, he’d be lawyering up, not apologizing.
If this guy hasn't done anything with Epstein's underage girls, why does he feel compelled to apologize for something he didn't do?
Powerful liberals are squirming everywhere, worried about their names coming out in public as pedophiles of young girls.
“Great timing. If he’s ever dined with *Bubba, this would be the perfect opportunity to apologize for that as well.”
Getting ahead of the story, before the names are dropped?
I didn't even realize Epstein had produced neckties.
Is that how he hanged himself?
How do you spend that much time with a professional pervert and not notice? While one of the girls I saw pictured was 17 and could easily pass for 18 (in a tabloid post about ties to the British Royal Family), others were not at an age or wearing attire that a normal person could fail to notice and question.
This is all a stunt so his Big Media Hussein Head colleagues can demand that Trump do the same.
See Post #7.
Apologize to the survivors??? Whoa. What are you saying, Joi?
Maybe so. Everything with the democRATS and Leftist media is about getting rid of Trump.
“Powerful liberals are squirming everywhere, worried about their names coming out in public as pedophiles of young girls”.
Nevertheless Epstein, in spite of having a strong defense under his nonprosecution agreement and being able to sell the Clintons and the whole DemonShit A list in return for lenient treatment, “committed suicide.”
Gee at the time (2013) Jeffery was a convicted sex offender! So what other criminals did you pal-a-round with? Is this the correct type of actions for a board member of the New York Times?
“Oh and I have nothing on the Clintons. Nothing.”
So MIT took $50,000 from a convicted sex offender..... what is the criteria used to determine if MIT accepts such a ‘donation’? Thinking about it I bet that some female students at MIT maybe under the age of 18. Wonder how Jeffery became interested in ‘donating’?
It's the NYT.
Think young boys.
Methinks this guy doth protest too much.
I guarantee he's dirty.
“In all of my interactions with Epstein, I was never involved in, never heard him talk about, and never saw any evidence of the horrific acts that he was accused of.” Sounds like Alan Dershowitz: “I never saw him with underage girls. I never had a massage and besides I kept my underwear on. The woman was a 50 year old Russian named Olga. She had a tattoo of a hammer and sickle on her left shoulder. I was never separated from my wife and daughter. I called her after the massage to tell her I didn’t like it.” “Never, never, never.”
Communists get to apologize and it’s forgotten. Same with Sarah Jeong.
I have no idea. Epstein was a schmoozer and probably a lot of people in his “circle” knew nothing about the other side of him - which seems to have been a mixture of child molester and Bernie Madoff pyramid scam honcho - and now they’re freaked out.
Bill Clinton, on the other hand, probably knew exactly what was going on and just didn’t care. He was drunk on his own power.
Well, there you have it. A board member of one of the most powerful information gathering entities on the planet had no idea the man he’s having martinis with owns his own island and is running a sex trafficking operation on it. Come to think of it, I guess none of his fellow board members knew it either or they would have warned him.
