'Bit her private parts making her bleed' — Epstein files reveal Apollo CEO Leon Black raped 7-year-old

According to a newly revealed letter from the Epstein document dump, former Apollo Global Management CEO and billionaire Leon Black allegedly raped a 7-year-old girl — and the description is stomach-churning.

📑 The document states that Black "bit parts of her vagina" and the assault was so violent it made her bleed. The victim, a minor at Epstein's townhouse, was told to give Black a massage. Instead, she was brutally raped.

🔨 Meanwhile, US teachers unions representing 1.8 million members with $27.5 billion invested in Apollo are demanding the SEC investigate whether the firm misled investors about its Epstein ties, Bloomberg reported.

✉️ The American Federation of Teachers points to a "lack of candor" in Apollo's 2021 disclosures. The newly released Justice Department files show Epstein corresponded with Apollo executives, arranging calls and meetings — contradicting the firm's claims that only Black had ties to the pedophile.
