Epshteyn Was Charged With Sex Harassment In 2021

The Arizona Republic reports:

A woman says Boris Epshteyn, a special adviser to Donald Trump, repeatedly groped her and her sister inside a Scottsdale nightclub in 2021, according to police body camera footage obtained by The Arizona Republic.

Epshteyn, who had worked with Arizona politicians to overturn Trump’s 2020 election loss, was accused of sexually assaulting the women at the Bottled Blonde nightclub early in the morning of Oct. 10, 2021.

Epshteyn was charged with “assault touching,” “attempted sexual abuse,” “harassment-repeated acts” and “disorderly conduct-disruptive behavior or fighting.” The first three charges were dismissed, but Epshteyn pleaded guilty in Scottsdale City Court to disorderly conduct and served probation. The conviction was set aside by the court in January 2023.

Per the outlet, Epshteyn took a plea deal on similar charges in 2014 after an incident at a different Arizona nightclub. Bottled Blond has banned him.
