Jeffrey Epstein had an office at Harvard University and visited that department dozens of times after he was released from prison, according to a review of the school’s ties to the financier and convicted sex offender.

Epstein had a key card and passcode to the building housing Harvard’s Program for Evolutionary Dynamics, where an office was set aside for his use, according to the review released Friday. Epstein used the space to meet with professors from Harvard and other institutions and visited the building more than 40 times between 2010 and 2018, typically accompanied by young women serving as his assistants. He furnished it with a rug and photographs, and it was known as “Jeffrey’s office,” according to the report.
